职前教师教育技术能力发展研究：能力体系与课程建设

高等师范院校职前教师教育技术能力培养方面存在诸多问题。高等学校在职前教师教育技术能力培训过程中,可以根据课程目标设置必修和选修课程模块,并依据师范生教育技术能力体系选择学科融合模式、结合学科教学来实施。     

教育信息化背景下职前教师教学能力的培养现状及对策研究

教育的信息化和基础教育课程改革的不断深化,对教师的教学能力提出了更高的要求。通过对浙江省某高校师范类高年级学生(职前教师)教学能力培养现状的调查发现,职前教师教学能力的培养方式和效果不容乐观,而且职前教师对视频案例教学持肯定态度,对视频案例资源设计需求迫切,大多数学生希望通过网络进行协作交流。由此,高等师范院校要加强课程和教学方式的改革,提高职前教师的实践能力;教师要运用多媒体和网络技术,构建基于案例教学的视频教学资源库;要充分利用网络信息资源,构建职前教师协作交流学习的新平台。     

实践取向:职前教师实践能力培养探寻

教师职业的特殊性对其教育实践能力有较高的要求。教育实践能力的强弱,决定了职前教师能否尽快适应教师职业的要求,《教师教育课程标准(试行)》中提出实践取向的理念为职前教师的培养指明了方向,本文通过分析职前教师知识和实践能力的结构,从教师教育课程的改革、教育实践能力的训练和监控、职前教师培养队伍的加强和展现平台的提供等方面来探讨职前教师实践能力的培养,以期为高等师范院校教师教育的改革提供一定的借鉴。     

职前教师课程能力的发展过程与路径

基础教育课程改革要求充分培育教师课程能力并发挥教师作为学校课程建设主体的作用.通过对我国大陆20所师范院校的880名职前教师进行调查,发现其课程能力发展过程呈现三个特点:职前教师课程能力水平在不同院校和不同年级间存在差异,但不显著;教学实践可以助力职前教师课程能力提升,且空间较大;职前教师课程能力发展存在关键阶段和关键内容.在此基础上,为师范院校培养职前教师课程能力提出三条建议:回归课程价值,以"互惠""分层"强化课程能力培养;聚焦课程内涵,促进教育实习从"解释实践"走向"改造实践";借助教育情境,以"创生""教研"促进课程能力进阶发展.     

高师与中小学合作实现教师信息技术教育培养培训一体化

本文从教师教育整体出发,探讨高等师范院校教师到中小学教学实践中去,在实验学校与教师共同探索在职教师信息技术能力发展的途径,同时将在中小学取得的经验用于师范生的培养,实现信息技术教育职前培养与职后培训的有机结合,建立教师信息技术能力培养培训一体化的模式,从而提高教师信息技术能力水平。     

教师职前培养与基础教育需求对接研究

教师职前培养主要是为基础教育培养师资。随着基础教育改革的不断深化,教师职前培养在教育理念、课程结构、教学内容和方法等以及职业伦理教育方面表现出了极大的不适应。基于基础教育的需求,从现代教育理念的树立、教师教育课程体系的构建、教学内容和方法的改革、高等师范院校与中小学的合作等方面对教师职前培养进行改进,可以使教师职前培养与基础教育有效对接,以相互促进,共同发展。     

从基础教育课程改革看我国高师教育改革

高等师范教育改革必须面向基础教育课程改革的需要。近年来，我国快速发展的基础教育课程改革给教师提出了前所未有的挑战。为此，高师应创建创型综合专业，统筹安排职前与职后教育，提高学生的课程理论修养，拓展学生的学术视，培养学生的课程开发能力。     

From PCK to TPACK: Developing a Transformative Model for Pre-Service Science Teachers

New science teachers should be equipped with the ability to integrate and design the curriculum and technology for innovative teaching. How to integrate technology into pre-service science teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge is the important issue. This study examined the impact on a transformative model of integrating technology and peer coaching for developing technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) of pre-service science teachers. A transformative model and an online system were designed to restructure science teacher education courses. Participants of this study included an instructor and 12 pre-service teachers. The main sources of data included written assignments, online data, reflective journals, videotapes and interviews. This study expanded four views, namely, the comprehensive, imitative, transformative and integrative views to explore the impact of TPACK. The model could help pre-service teachers develop technological pedagogical methods and strategies of integrating subject-matter knowledge into science lessons, and further enhanced their TPACK.     

Curricular Space Allocated for Dance Content in Physical Education Teacher Education Programs: A Literature Review

This literature review examines curricular space allocated to activity based/movement content courses in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) pre-service programs, specifically focusing on how dance content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge are addressed within those programs. This review includes original empirical research conducted on PETE pre-service programs and graduates within the United States after 1990. The review defines “activity based/movement content knowledge course” as any course in which students learn the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to engage in or perform a particular sport, game, dance or other physical activity. Only one study within the review of nine total studies focuses solely on dance content within PETE pre-service programs. This review also analyzes the placement of dance content knowledge within the Society for Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE America) Grade Level Outcomes for K–12 Physical Education (PE). Suggestions are made for future research and methodological considerations for dance content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in PETE pre-service programs.     

Fostering online social construction of science knowledge with primary pre-service teachers working in virtual teams

As many primary pre-service teachers enter teacher education courses with little science background, it is essential in teacher education courses to provide opportunities for them to learn more science independently. The purpose of this study is to investigate an online pedagogical activity that fosters the social construction of science knowledge by primary pre-service teachers working in small virtual teams. The study investigated how the pre-service teachers collaborated online in virtual teams to complete set tasks, their attitudes toward and beliefs about the effectiveness of the online learning experience, and the types and quality of the resources developed. The findings indicated that the virtual team-produced science resource materials were generally of high quality, with nearly half the number of teams engaging with Web 2.0 technologies (e.g. wikis and blogs) to construct their product. The findings indicated positive attitudes toward the collaborative learning even though beliefs about online learning were mixed.     

职前教师PKM与TPACK水平的相关性研究——基于定量分析与定性分析相结合的方法

在教育信息化2.0背景下,提升教师整合技术的学科教学知识(Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge,TPACK)水平显得尤为重要。为了探究职前教师个人知识管理(Personal Knowledge Management,PKM)与TPACK水平的关系,文章采用基于问卷调查数据的定量分析和基于深度访谈数据的定性分析相结合的方法,以S大学化学专业30名职前教师为研究对象,就其PKM与TPACK水平的相关性进行了多方面分析,发现:职前教师的TPACK水平与PKM能力显著相关,基于PKM的TPACK课程培训可提升职前教师的TPACK水平。此结论为发展职前教师的TPACK水平提供了一个新的思路,有利于推动信息技术与课程的深度融合。     

The impact of inquiry-based learning on the critical thinking dispositions of pre-service science teachers

ABSTRACT

In the study, the impact of inquiry-based learning on pre-service teachers’ critical thinking dispositions was investigated. The sample of the study comprised of 56 pre-service teachers in the science education teacher education programme at the public university in the north of Turkey. In the study, quasi-experimental design with an experimental and a control group were applied to find out the impact of inquiry-based learning on the critical thinking dispositions of the pre-service teachers in the teacher education programme. The results showed that the pre-service teachers in the experimental group did not show statistically significant greater progress in terms of critical thinking dispositions than those in the control group. Teacher educators who are responsible for pedagogical courses in the teacher education programme should consider that the inquiry-based learning could not be effective method to improve pre-service teachers’ critical thinking dispositions. The results are discussed in relation to potential impact on science teacher education and implications for future research.     

Pre-service teachers’ future-oriented mathematical identity work

Research on identity has been a growing domain in the contexts of teacher education and mathematics education; however, identity work has been explored to a much lesser extent, with a future orientation overlooked. In addition, earlier studies have not provided sufficient knowledge on how different elementary teacher education programs might facilitate pre-service teachers’ identity work. In this study, we compare future-oriented mathematical identity work through a narrative framework considering six pre-service teachers undergoing two different teacher education programs. All pre-service teachers reported having had negative experiences with mathematics during their school years. Based on the results we conclude that despite the striking similarities in pre-service teachers’ mathematical backgrounds, the ways in which these cases are conducting their identity work differ substantially. It seems that the main reasons for these differences are different emphases and pedagogical practices in mathematics education courses. Additionally, we further elaborate on our earlier conceptualisation of identity work.     

职前英语教师专业成长的另类途径——一项基于重构职前英语教师信念的行动研究

信念的研究是判断教师教育成效的一项重要指标,是当前教师教育中最有价值的一部分。职前教师信念由于受到先前经验和信念本身特质等因素的影响,不易改变,教师教育应该对职前英语教师的信念进行检视与再建构。在自我反思教学模式下发展起来的教育行动研究是近年来国外教育界探究和实践的一种教学理论,是一种非常适合没有接受过教育研究训练的职前教师的研究方法。开展行动研究有助于职前教师将理论学习与教学实践相结合,在教学实践过程中,充分利用有限的直接经验进行教学反思,不断检视、并重构教师信念,提升教学行为。     

Primary pre-service teachers' pedagogical reasoning skills

This paper discusses a preliminary investigation into primary pre-service teachers' pedagogical reasoning skills. Results from this investigation led to the development of a problem-based learning model which focused on improving primary pre-service teachers' pedagogical reasoning skills. The problem-based learning model uses pedagogical reasoning as the basis for creating problem situations for the pre-service teachers to investigate. The paper reports on pre-service teachers' views on the use of the approach to improve their pedagogical reasoning skills. Specializations: science teacher education, learning in science, chemistry education. Specializations: student learning, conceptual change, technology education, curriculum evaluation.     

Construction and validation of a test to assess (pre-service) teachers' technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK)

As society becomes increasingly digital, teachers must be trained to integrate technology effectively into their classrooms. Teachers’ technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), as defined in the TPACK framework, is considered an important prerequisite for effectively integrating technology. The TPACK framework has received a great deal of attention, yet few knowledge tests have been developed that directly assess TPK. However, those tests are crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of teacher education courses on technology integration. We have developed a 17-item test that covers teacher knowledge about various digital technologies as employed in teaching. Experts rated the items to represent the construct adequately. Data obtained from 245 pre-service teachers supports the test’s internal structure. Concerning convergent and discriminant validity, the pre-service teachers’ test scores were not related to their self-reported TPK, but to their self-reported technological knowledge. The test was sensitive to changes in pre-service teachers’ TPK through teacher education courses.
