师徒结对:"师傅"专业成长的新途径

师徒结对是幼儿园普遍实行的一种促进教师专业成长的模式.作为"师傅"的老教师在师徒结对中会获得进一步的成长.这主要表现在"师傅"在帮助新教师成长的过程中能够正确认识自己的角色,变压力为动力,提高工作的主动性和积极性,同时在与新教师的互动中会锻炼自己的合作能力,吸收新教师身上的闪光点来开阔自己的眼界,并通过对实践的反思来寻求进一步发展的空间.     

基于眼球追踪的新手教师与专家教师课堂专业视觉差异研究

教师专业视觉是教师在课堂上注意和解释重要现象和关键交互的能力。基于眼动数据的收集与分析,对于教师专业性的研究具有低推断性、高客观性,也可以发现一些习以为常或者不易发现的问题。基于真实教学情境,收集了3位新手和3位专家教师课堂教学的眼动数据。研究发现,专家教师比新手教师对学生的“注意”更具效率。教师对于学生的注视分布都不是太平均,教室桌椅排列的位置影响教师的注意分布,专家教师对于综合成绩较差的学生关注度更高。专家教师对学生的课堂练习状况关注更为普遍。对于新手教师的专业发展提供了一些启示。     

本科毕业小学新教师专业发展状况的调查

通过对北京市2003-2005年第一批至第三批本科毕业小学新教师专业发展状况的调查,结果发现:本科毕业的小学新教师总体上对工作适应良好,也得到小学的较高认可;新教师任课多样、任教与所学的专业方向未对应的现象普遍,证明小学教师教育"综合培养,学有专长"的培养思路是正确的,但"综合培养"的内涵有待深化;新教师的专业精神受到高度赞扬;基本具备胜任小学教育教学工作的专业能力,但相对其他方面来说还有待提高。     

Tracking Professional Development of Novice Teachers when Integrating Technology in Teaching Mathematics

This research traced changes in choices of technological tools and attitudes toward technology use among novice mathematics teachers at three stages of their professional development: as pre-service teachers, a year later, and in their work as novice teachers. At each stage, the participants were required to evaluate the benefits of technology use in their learning/teaching.

We found that the novice mathematics teachers used a variety of technological tools, while as students they preferred to use digital presentations or dynamic software. Moreover, the novice teachers used two additional tools: the school platform and the WhatsApp instant messaging application. The novice teachers placed significantly higher value on the benefits of using technology in teaching in terms of improvement in learning, enhancement of pupils' motivation and increased effectiveness of the lesson. These results indicated that only as practical teachers were the participants able to see the benefits of technology.

高职院校初任教师的职业角色适应问题及对策

初任教师刚刚步入职业生涯,由于缺乏相关教学实践的经验,存在因角色复杂多维、角色期待预估不足、角色认知偏差、角色适应困难等导致的角色不适应状况。高职院校行业性强,教育偏重于培养应用型创新人才,必须依靠高素质的教师队伍。初任教师作为学校发展后备力量的青年群体,学校应为其提供适切的培训、研讨的机会和平台。同时,初任教师本人也要注重内在的修为,通过不断的反思、学习、积累,提升自己的职业能力,强化自身的职业认同。     

新任辅导员专业发展及其路径

新任辅导员如何尽快有效地发挥其专业素养是当前辅导员工作研究的一项重要内容.本文从教师专业发展途径的角度,秉持教师即研究者的基本工作观点,结合个人经验,阐述了新任辅导员(尤指新上岗的青年辅导员)发展专业素养的三个基本途径,并作学理性的探讨.     

在“关系”中看“隐喻”——新手型与专家型幼儿园教师专业认同差异比较

对自己专业工作的隐喻是教师对其专业生活的一种特殊表征方式.对幼儿园教师所使用的隐喻进行研究,可以帮助我们理解他们的专业认同感.本研究运用口述生命史访谈法,对一名新手型和一名专家型幼儿园教师所使用的隐喻进行了比较分析.结果发现:幼儿园教师的专业认同是在与幼儿、家长、同事互动过程中建构起来的;新手型与专家型幼儿园教师的专业认同有各自的典型特征;新手型和专家型幼儿园教师的专业认同在专业角色的自我确立、专业责任的自我推断和专业权利的自我主张方面存在显著差异.     

论初任教师的教学理解

初任教师的教学问题常常根源于初任教师的教学理解,尤其是他们在教学中对知识、学生和教师三者相互作用关系的理解。其中,体验是教学理解的本质要求和本性所在。初任教师主要通过对知识理解的建构性体验、对学生理解的责任感体验、对自我理解的探究性体验三条基本途径形成自己的教学理解。     

高校新入职教师教学专业成长问题探讨

当前高校新入职教师的教学存在诸多问题,影响了高校新入职教师的教学专业成长,为此,建立新入职教师的职业信念培养体系和终身教育体系、完善相关法律和制度、规划富有针对性的教学发展项目等,不失为保障和推动新入职教师的教学专业成长的有效举措。     

闲暇生活与高校教师的专业成长

教师职业生涯的自由发展,对高校教师的专业成长具有重要意义。当前,我国高校教师的闲暇生活存在时间缺乏、质量缺欠、意识偏见和行为偏差等问题,这些问题给教师的专业成长造成了损害。高校应采取积极措施纠正高校教师闲暇生活的偏差,促进高校教师的专业成长。     

教师专业成长中的自我意识

高质量的教育离不开高素质的教师,高素质的教师需要拥有不断发展与完善的教育教学专长。促进教师专业成长,需要国家对教育的特别关注,需要完善的教育制度,需要教育管理部门的大力支持,更需要教师自身的不断学习与实践。完善的自我意识是教师专业成长不可或缺的条件。关注教师的自我意识,推动教师自我意识的发展,必将促进教师的专业成长。     

Novice Science Teachers: Expectations and Experiences

This project grew out of concerns expressed by several novice teachers about their lack of preparation to deal with common problems in the classroom. Several trends were evident with the teachers involved in this study. They all came to recognize the importance of effective, organized instruction during the term of the study, along with the importance of effective classroom management and discipline skills. This included an emphasis on planning, preparation, and adequate knowledge of subject matter. They all felt that they were well prepared by their college classes in their primary content area, but less prepared in supporting areas of science. It is hoped that this information will be used to further refine teacher education programs at the university level.     

A Psychometric Evaluation of Experienced Teachers

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of praise and knowledge of results in increasing the performance of lower- and middle-class fifth-grade pupils on a numeral cancellation test. The effectiveness of the reinforcers was based upon the mean gain (loss) scores of Tests 9 and 10 over Test 1. Middle-class boys made significantly larger gains under the knowledge-of-results condition than under the praise condition. Under the knowledge-of-results condition, lower-class boys made significantly larger gains than lower-class girls. Other differences were insignificant.     

论初任教师自我成长的策略

初任教师所处的专业发展阶段是教师专业发展的一个关键时期,在教育现实中经常面临教师角色认同、自我效能感提升和教育实践中诸多问题的挑战。初任教师应该正确面对,始终将自己视为学习者,通过教育反思、利用多种教育资源、调整精神状态等策略积极进行自我成长。     

论STEM教师的专业素养

专业素养是专业能力所蕴含的专业知识、思维方式和价值观。教师核心专业能力是一种被称为基于设计的行动力的综合能力,并非PACK的运用能力,因为PACK不是知识论意义上的知识。基于设计的行动力所蕴含的教师专业素养可以区分为学科素养和设计素养。学科素养蕴含在课程之中,通过课程分析可以使之清晰化;设计素养蕴含在技术性教学设计理论之中。以STEM课程“抓住风:设计风车”为例,STEM教师的学科素养包括掌握课程包含的S.T.E.M.学科知识、能利用课程提供的材料制定一款特定功能的风车、能独立完成不同材料捕捉风能的单因素实验、身体力行地传递科学精神。以“以学习活动为中心的教学设计理论”为例,STEM教师的设计素养包括能基于教学设计的基本观念思考教学设计;能运用知识建模进行学习内容分析,并用“(知识点,学习水平)”方式陈述学习目标;能结合实情和知识建模图组块确立任务类型,并将它们具体化为师生交互过程;拥有足够的FC知识(Facts and Cases),并能够设计新的FC知识;能结合实情和动力设计模型提升教学方案的质量水平;能结合经验设计探究学习的学习支架。     

初任教师专业成长的障碍和解决策略

初任教师的入职阶段是他们职业生涯中一个重要的部分和实现教师专业持续不断成长必经阶段.鉴于他们经常面临"现实的冲击",探索初任教师所具有的特征、专业成长中所遇到的问题及其产生的原因等就显得十分必要,有助于提出解决初任教师专业化发展问题的有效措施.     

名师工作室与教师专业成长实证研究——基于225个名师工作室的调查与访谈

名师工作室的实践探索已有10多年历史,让名师来引领未来名师已成为教师专业成长的共识。2008年开始,浙江省成立名师工作站,对225个名师工作室进行理论引领和实践指导。通过对1558位工作室成员问卷调查,表明名师工作室是教师专业成长的重要载体,其中最有效的活动形式是“名师引领”“共享交流”“主题研修”,文章还对工作室的进一步发展提出若干对策建议。     

Professional Growth and Identity Development of STEM Teacher Educators in a Community of Practice

Quality STEM teacher education is predicated on teacher educators who are well-equipped to design learning experiences, provide feedback, guide the development of teachers across their career span, and conduct rigorous research to advance education theory and praxis. While numerous models and approaches to professional development for teachers exist, few parallels can be drawn between the professional development of teachers and teacher educators (Loughran, 2014). To support the multi-faceted identity (trans)formation of STEM teacher educators, self-directed learning opportunities can help bridge knowledge and practice, enhance productive collaboration, and support efforts to negotiate multiple and conflicting agendas (Goodwin &; Kosnik, 2013). The purpose of this empirical study was to explore the identity (trans)formation of teacher educators participating in a long-term interdisciplinary STEM-based Community of Practice (CoP; Wenger, 1998), which began in 2012. An analysis of our experiences through the figured worlds lens informs how a CoP can impact curricular approaches and teacher PD, imploring members to move through their comfort zones into innovative spaces. We conclude with suggestions for our STEM teacher educator colleagues who seek opportunities to challenge their own positions and best support preservice and in-service STEM teachers in a way that allows them to model for their students the value of community.
