我国与土耳其职前教师科学教学效能感的比较

通过调查中、土两国职前小学教师的科学教学效能感,结果表明,两国职前教师科学教学效能感概念有所差异,中国职前教师科学教学效能感比土耳其低,两国女性职前教师科学教学效能感比男性稍高。职前教师科学教学效能感与大学主修科学专业课程的数量无关,而与其高中的科学背景知识有关;就业形势、科学教学实践经历对职前教师的科学教学效能感有重要影响。     

数字教材环境下小学教师TPACK与自我效能感、技术接受度的关系——一项结构方程分析

自我效能感、技术接受程度是教师TPACK发展中两个重要的研究问题。多数已有的传统或网络课堂环境下的相关研究发现,教师的TPACK水平与自我效能感、技术接受程度有相关关系,但这是否意味着在平板电脑下的数字教材课堂环境中仍有相似结果,还有待进一步证实。本研究采用结构方程分析技术,以英语学科为例,对山东省6个市、220所小学、507名使用数字教材超过一学期的教师进行了实证研究。结果表明,在数字教材环境下,教师的自我效能感、技术接受度对TPACK有间接的正向影响作用。另外研究还表明,性别和职称差异对TPACK无显著性影响,年龄差异对TPACK有影响,青年教师的TPACK更加显著。     

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。     

职前教师的TPACK发展影响因素研究

随着信息技术在教育领域应用的不断深入,职前教师的TPACK结构发展问题成为了教师教育领域研究的热点问题。文章以某师范大学的2010级和2011级全部师范专业职前教师为研究对象,采用施密特等开发的TPACK测量工具,对我国职前教师的TPACK结构发展现状及影响因素进行了实证研究。研究结果表明,教师TPACK结构与其TPACK水平发展相关,外部因素与TPACK结构的生成与发展相关。在此基础上,文章提出了促进职前教师TPACK发展的相关策略。     

面向TPACK发展的职前教师教育课程例析与重构

TPACK框架为探索信息时代教师教育课程的变革提供了全新视角。国外一项面向TPACK发展的职前教师教育课程改革的实践项目,为国内职前教师TPACK培养提供了典范借鉴。从课程方案、技术模块和教师教育者三方面对该融合技术的学科教学知识范例的特色进行剖析可知,我国职前教师教育课程重构应关注以下方面:在目标定位上,从培养教师成为技术"消费者"转向技术"设计者";在培养机制上,要打破分割支离的局面,形成融合统整的培养机制;在课程内容设置上,要从零散孤立的结构转向贯通的整合式课程。     

职前教师效能感研究概述

介绍效能感与教师效能感的概念,分析职前教师效能感测量及研究现状,并总结国外职前教师效能感方面的一些研究成果,提出相应的干预策略,探讨职前教师效能感的研究方向。     

初中数学教师TPACK现状的调查与分析——以烟台市为例

整合技术的学科教学知识(TPACK)是信息时代教师专业知识的核心,影响和制约教师信息技术应用能力的发展。以烟台市276名初中数学教师为研究对象,对初中数学教师TPACK现状进行了调查研究。研究发现:初中数学教师TPACK整体水平中等偏上,还有较大提升空间。构成TPACK五个维度的水平从高到低依次为理念维度、课程维度、学生维度、教学维度、评价维度。研究进一步提出了有效促进教师TPACK发展的建议。     

基于九因子模型的新手教师TPACK知识结构分析

教师所具有的TPACK知识反映其胜任课堂信息化教学的程度。先前关于TPACK的研究多是基于传统七因子模型,且已有研究表明,TPACK与教师的教学年限、教育信念、设计意向相关。在传统TPACK七因子模型基础上,加入建构主义教学信念和教师设计创新素质两个积极因素形成的TPACK九因子结构假设模型,经数据验证后表明:该模型适用于职业生涯初期阶段的新手教师;新手教师TPACK知识处于较低水平,与职前教师不存在显著差异,且受到其他因素的影响;新手教师建构主义信念和设计创新素质均对其TPACK知识的发展具有预测作用,该作用效果与普通在职教师一致;但新手教师PCK知识显著优于职前教师,且新手教师PCK对TPACK的发展存在负向预测关系,而职前教师和普通在职教师的PCK对TPACK不存在显著预测关系。新手教师可以通过强化PK、TPK和TCK的知识变化来促进TPACK的发展。     

职前教师TPCLK调查与多元化培养策略*CSSCI

TPACK是衡量教师信息化教学能力的重要指标。当前关于TPACK的研究已逐渐从一般学科拓展到具体学科。TPCLK(Technological Pedagogical Chinese Language Knowledge)是基于TPACK建立的针对汉语专业教师的量表。利用TPCLK对某师范院校261名汉语职前教师的调查分析发现,汉语职前教师TPCLK水平较低,需要加强信息技术培训,促进其与学科教学法知识的整合;而职前参与教学实践,会对教师学科内容知识(CK)、教学法知识(PK)、技术知识(TCK)等有所帮助,但却无法提升他们的技术教学法知识(TPK)以及整合技术的学科教学法内容知识(TPCK)。培养单位应重视ICT对基础教育产生的"革命性影响",将信息化教学能力培养纳入特定学科的职前教师培养课程体系,加强信息技术与学科整合的理念与方法学习,切实提升他们利用信息技术变革学科教学的能力基础。同时,培养单位还应重视实习环节的规划,为职前教师提供更大的空间将理论与实践结合。     

职前英语教师的情感智力与教师自我效能感的关系

本研究试图探寻职前英语教师的情感智力与教师效能感之间的关系。35名来自江西师范大学外国语学校的被试参与了本研究,被试要求完成了《教师效能感量表》和《国际标准情商测试题》。经过数据的分析发现职前教师的情感智力和效能感之间有着显著的积极的关系。参照前人的研究结果对本研究的结果和意义进行了讨论。     

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.     

Using technology pedagogical content knowledge development to enhance learning outcomes

This paper describes an intervention in which pre-service teachers developed their TPACK through multiple data sources. Teachers’ self-reports of their TPACK knowledge were triangulated with performance-based assessment of their instructional practices and artifacts to give a better understanding and nature of pre-service teachers’ TPACK development. Although self reported measures did not correlate with pre-service teachers’ actual increased knowledge of technology integration, this study enhances better understanding of the pre-service teachers’ TPACK development through the multiple assessment measures. The learning outcome measures provide specific information and concrete representation of what pre-service teachers can actually do with technology in their TPACK development. The findings suggested multiple concerns about self-reported measures that are discussed in the framework of the TPACK instrument.     

师范生TPACK知识的实证研究

师范生受国家公费政策支持,要从事中小学教育教学岗位的工作。当前信息技术发展使他们面临把信息技术整合到未来教学中的挑战。TPACK知识理论框架在对职前教师专业发展的研究方面取得了较好成果。本研究利用新加坡Chai,Koh,Tsai,＆Tan（2011）开发的TPACK量表,对我国463位大学免费师范生进行了调查。结果发现,与其他研究中职前教师的水平相比,我国免费师范生TPACK知识处于较低水平。师范生TPACK知识水平受到年级和年龄影响,但在性别方面未表现出显著差异。回归分析结果发现,二维整合知识（TCK和TPK）和单一维度知识（CK,TK和PK）均对TPACK水平存在显著贡献。教师教育机构对师范生提供ICT课程时,应考虑到如何通过加强这些基础性知识的学习来促进教师信息技术与课程整合的信心。     

I like Facebook: Exploring Israeli high school chemistry teachers’ TPACK and self-efficacy beliefs

The goal of this research was to examine how Israeli chemistry teachers at high school level use Facebook groups to facilitate learning. Two perspectives were used: Teachers’ TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) and the self-efficacy beliefs of chemistry teachers for using CLFG (chemistry learning Facebook groups). Three different case studies were chosen and qualitative and quantitative research tools were used to learn about the teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and knowledge. More specifically, a validated questionnaire for measuring teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs for using Facebook and for integrating Facebook into teaching was developed. We show that the initial beliefs (not based on a real acquaintance of Facebook) were replaced by more realistic efficacy-beliefs after the teachers started to work with the CLFG and that the technological support provided to each teacher, together with their mastery experience, supported the development of strong self-efficacy beliefs regarding the use of CLFG. Teachers’ TPACK was investigated by analyzing their interviews and the interactions in their CLFG. We found that the notion regarding what constitutes learning in the CLFG had not changed during the experiment but rather, the teachers knew better how they can facilitate this leaning. In addition they better integrated links to videos and visualizations that supported understanding abstract chemistry concepts. Interestingly, the intervention that was conducted did not influence teachers’ perceptions of learning; however, it was found to serve as an additional tool for supporting their self-efficacy beliefs by providing vicarious experience for the teachers. We therefore recommend performing a longer intervention in the future.     

Instructors’ teaching styles: relation with competences,self-efficacy,and commitment in pre-service teachers

Instructors’ teaching styles in higher education are an issue of major importance because these interactions affect students’ self-perceptions, involvement, and achievement. This study aimed to test a theoretical model of relations between perceived teaching styles (autonomy support, structure, and control) and competences, self-efficacy, and commitment in pre-service teachers; to assess the invariance of the model in two samples; and to analyze the mediated relations between these variables. Measures were collected from 842 Spanish pre-service teachers. As main research implications, teaching styles predicted acquired competences, competences predicted teaching self-efficacy, and self-efficacy predicted commitment to the profession. This model was equivalent in two samples of childhood and primary education pre-service teachers. Competences and self-efficacy mediated the relationships between variables. As practical implications, this study clearly shows the need for different interventions to enhance adequate instructors’ teaching styles and to foster among novice pre-service teachers the acquisition of professional competences, initial self-efficacy, and a good level of commitment to their profession.     

幼儿教师TPACK现状调查与分析

通过对幼儿教师的TPACK现状的调查,分析幼儿教师的TPACK总体水平以及不同背景幼儿教师TPACK水平的差异。研究表明:幼儿教师的TPACK总体水平处于中等,但与技术相关的维度得分偏低、技术知识水平最低;不同性别幼儿教师在TK差异非常显著;不同教龄组幼儿教师在PCK差异非常显著;不同学历幼儿教师在TPK存在非常显著差异;城市幼儿教师TPACK水平最高。依据该结论,文章提出了提升幼儿教师TPACK能力的建议。     

Assessing and Enhancing Pre-service Science Teachers’ Self-Efficacy to Teach Science Through Argumentation: Challenges and Possible Solutions

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of an intervention on pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy to teach science through argumentation and explore the challenges they experienced while implementing argumentation. Forty pre-service science teachers in their final semester of schooling participated in an intervention that lasted for 11 weeks. Intervention focused on participants’ understanding of argumentation as a scientific practice and as a pedagogical tool. The participants engaged in argument construction, evaluation, and critique, taught three argumentation lessons, engaged in peer observation of teaching, and reflection on their teaching skills. Data were collected through Argumentation Self-Efficacy Scale and an open-ended questionnaire. The results show that the intervention had a significantly positive effect on pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy. Despite this reported self-efficacy, participants experienced significant challenges in guiding their students to construct scientific arguments and assessing the arguments developed by their students. Discussion focuses on implications for professional development of pre-service and in-service science teachers.     

Mediated Effects of Technology Competencies and Experiences on Relations among Attitudes Towards Technology Use,Technology Ownership,and Self Efficacy about Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge

This study examined the relations of preservice science teachers’ attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences to their self-efficacy beliefs about technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The present study also investigated interrelations among preservice teachers’ attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences. The participants of study were 665 elementary preservice science teachers (467 females, 198 males) from 7 colleges in Turkey. The proposed model based on educational technology literature was tested using structural equation modeling. The model testing results revealed that preservice teachers’ technology competencies and experiences mediated the relation of technology ownership to their TPACK self efficacy beliefs. The direct relation of their possession of technology to their TPACK self efficacy beliefs was insignificant while the indirect relation through their technology competencies and experiences was significant. The results also indicated there were significant direct effects of preservice teachers’ attitudes towards technology use, technology competencies, and experiences on their TPACK self efficacy beliefs.     

Early Childhood Educators’ Self-Efficacy in Science,Math, and Literacy Instruction and Science Practice in the Classroom

Research Findings: Quality early science education is important for addressing the low science achievement, compared to international peers, of elementary students in the United States. Teachers’ beliefs about their skills in a content area, that is, their content self-efficacy is important because it has implications for teaching practice and child outcomes. However, little is known about how teachers’ self-efficacy for literacy, math and science compare and how domain-specific self-efficacy relates to teachers’ practice in the area of science. Analysis of survey and observation data from 67 Head Start classrooms across eight programs indicated that domain-specific self-efficacy was highest for literacy, significantly lower for science, and lowest for math. Classrooms varied, but in general, engaged in literacy far more than science, contained a modest amount of science materials, and their instructional support of science was low. Importantly, self-efficacy for science, but not literacy or math, related to teachers frequency of engaging children in science instruction. Teachers’ education and experience did not predict self-efficacy for science. Practice or Policy: To enhance the science opportunities provided in early childhood classrooms, pre-service and in-service education programs should provide teachers with content and practices for science rather than focusing exclusively on literacy.
