高中学科教师培训课程设计中“把握学员需求”满意度研究——以2015年福建省高中教师专项培训为例

"把握学员需求"是培训课程设计的重要依据,本研究以高中教师专项培训项目的培训方案、培训师资、参训学员为研究对象,采用网络问卷、访谈、量表、统计、比较等方法进行研究。结果表明,培训课程设计中"把握学员需求"满意度总体评价为优良。但是,高中15个学科学员满意度的平均值并不平衡。为此,提出加强培训工作精细化管理,狠抓培训需求调研质量,合理选配培训师资和灵活运用培训方式方法,提高培训者教育教学科研能力等改进对策建议。     

中小学教师教育技术培训新走向

目前的培训方式主要采用面对面、分阶段式的培训方式。很多培训仍然采用。以往惯用的人海战术，上大课、满堂灌．采用机械行为主义的教学方法，追求的是整齐划一，把教师当作一个接受系统知识的容器．完全忽视了教师学员的主体地位。整个培训活动中只是一个主讲者在自说自话，一讲到底．缺乏受圳教师和培训者的互动。理念上基于简单传授知识的指导，培训者没有设计互动使教师学员参与，学员缺乏主体性活动和知识内化过程．     

聚焦“案例式”教师培训

案例式培训是运用案例方法进行的一种培训活动。它是培训者围绕主题选择教材,组织相关的教学活动,是培训者与学员以教学活动为切入点,展开多向互动交流,进行理念与实践的思维碰撞,达成两方双赢结果的培训方式。与传统的专家讲座式的培训方式相比,它有着较为明显的特点:①"靶子"性。这种培训本身对教师来说是一个靶子,特别培训者执教的课例,学员亲身参与听课,或示范,或优存劣弃,

A sociocultural analysis of the development of pre-service and beginning teachers’ pedagogical identities as users of technology

This paper reports on a study that investigated the pedagogical practices and beliefs of pre-service and beginning teachers in integrating technology into the teaching of secondary school mathematics. A case study documents how one teachers modes of working with technology changed over time and across different school contexts, and identifies relationships between a range of personal and contextual factors that influenced the development of his identity as a teacher. This analysis views teachers learning as increasing participation in sociocultural practices, and uses Valsiners concepts of the Zone of Proximal Development, Zone of Free Movement, and Zone of Promoted Action to offer a dynamic way of theorising teacher learning as identity formation.     

Cost‐effectiveness of online teacher training

This study aims to compare the cost‐effectiveness of an online teacher training method with a face‐to‐face training method in teaching ‘ICT integration in the school curriculum’. In addition, the study explores the possibilities of a school‐based voluntary training method in supporting other approaches to ICT teacher training. The analyses of various quantitative and qualitative data showed that online teacher training was more cost‐effective than face‐to‐face teacher training, mainly due to the lower opportunity cost of the participants. The voluntary teacher training revealed the possibility of providing cost‐effective training, especially in the actual application of ICT in classrooms. Based on the results of the study, factors affecting cost‐effectiveness of the teacher training approaches are discussed and further research areas suggested.

Special education trainee teachers’ perceptions of their professional world: motives,roles, and expectations from teacher training

To open a window into perceptions entailed in the professional world view of special education teacher trainees, three research questions were developed: (a) What are their motives for joining the profession? (b) How do they perceive the role of the special education teacher? and (c) What are their expectations from teacher training? The research was carried out using a qualitative approach. Ninety-three students about to begin their professional training in special education in an Israeli teacher-training college completed a questionnaire consisting of five open questions. The data were analyzed according to the grounded theory approach. The research findings showed that the trainees chose special education because they wanted to belong to a group of teachers perceived as the most ethical; one that considers its mission to help ‘vulnerable’ individuals, mold their characters, and ‘have an impact on society.’ The role of special education teachers was perceived mainly as caring for students and their parents; the trainees expected that during their training, they would become completely familiar with the range of disabilities and how to deal with them, as well as learn about themselves and strengthen their teaching skills. The world of special education was perceived as ‘mysterious,’ having a high moral standing; as a closed profession, in that relations are limited to teacher, child, and parents; but with a spiritual aspect. The professional world of special education as perceived by the teacher trainees was different than that actually waiting for them, and for which teacher training institutes must prepare them.     

Vygotsky's and Buber's Pedagogical Perspectives: Some Affinities

The purpose of this paper is to examine the dialogical and creative character of pedagogic work by analyzing the affinities between Martin Buber's I‐Thou relation and Lev Semenovich Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. Backed up by empirical studies on the teacher‐student relation, we understand that education can only result in students' development if meaningful processes are undertaken. The paper asserts that education shall primarily aim at promoting relational possibilities.     

Rejecting Dialogue for Perspective: Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and John Calvin’s Divine Pedagogy

James Estep's integration of Vygotsky's work on the Zone of Proximal Development into Christian education and pedagogy falls short of a distinctly evangelical form of integration. Using Ken Badley's schemata of Integration of Faith and Learning, this article distinguishes Estep's “paradigmatic” integration from a more thoroughgoing “perspectival” integration. Perspectival integration best displays the connections between Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development and evangelical thinking by using the divine accommodation of John Calvin, as described in the work of Arnold Huijgen.     

Reforming Ghanaian teacher education towards preparing an effective pre‐service teacher

The role of teaching practice in pre‐service teachers' training at the University of Education, Winneba in Ghana is reported. Teaching practice as a teacher development programme has come under the limelight for some time now in Ghana. The Initial Teacher Training Colleges (ITTC) in Ghana and the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) have replaced the four‐week per year teaching practice with a new programme that seeks to enhance the efficiency of teacher‐trainees. This involves teacher‐trainees spending the entire last year of their training period out of campus to undertake teaching practice. In UEW the programme is dubbed ‘Student Internship’. The programme is an outcome of recent developments in the policies and practices of teacher education in Ghana. At UEW the innovative programme aims at reforming the training of the teacher‐trainees so as to infuse greater professionalism into the students that the university turns out yearly. Despite the initial criticisms that the duration was too long, the programme has taken off with well‐prepared structures that gave a resounding success to the first batch of teacher‐trainees.
