知识与方法——“教师成为研究者”的再探寻

教师成为研究者是教师专业发展的核心命题,然而遭遇了来自理论和实践的重重迷误。对教师成为研究者进行再探寻和价值澄清,使其知识与方法的价值诉求得以显现,同时也为教师专业发展在困惑中进行理性抉择提供了依据与动力。     

论“教师成为研究者”——斯登豪斯及其“人文课程研究”

由斯登豪斯主持的“人文课程研究”作为一项经典性行动研究案例,在教育领域持续不断引起人们的兴趣。它不仅使得行动研究在英国复兴,而且发展出一种以“过程模式”著称的课程开发模式,同时,它提出的“教师成为研究者”、“研究作为教学的基础”等观念影响至今。     

论教师作为研究者的内涵：教师研究性思维的运用

教师作为研究者的内涵究竟是什么,教师作为研究者并不是让教师和专业的研究者那样去做研究、出研究成果,教师作为研究者的内涵实质在于教师研究性思维的养成和运用.实证研究和实践探究作为教师研究性思维养成的方法,都可以统一到杜威提出的科学思维方法上来,两者都需要教师在个人实践经验中产生困惑和问题,进而提出假设,进行反思、实验,更新教学观念,改进教学行为,获得教学专业发展的自主性,最终促进学生智识的发展.     

The cost of performance? Students' learning about acting as change agents in their schools

This paper explores how performance culture could affect students' learning about, and disposition towards, acting as organisational change agents in schools. This is based on findings from an initiative aimed to enable students to experience acting as change agents on an aspect of the school's culture that concerned them. The initiative was informed by contemporary practice and concerns in the field of student voice, and worked with a systemic action research approach focused on organisational dynamics. This research found that students' understanding of, and disposition towards doing, organisational change, seemed to be affected by how their internalisation of performance culture mediated with their concern to maintain their organisational status. Based on the theory of organisational socialisation, it argues that this may lead to a learnt inhibition towards doing organisational change in students who struggle with their organisational status in schools.

Review by (non)peers as an opportunity for learning: a case study on the editorial process of papers by junior researchers / La revisión por (im)pares como instancia de aprendizaje: un estudio de casos del proceso editorial de artículos de investigadoras noveles

Abstract

We analysed the editorial process of the four articles authored by junior researchers published in the special issue The peer review process as an opportunity for learning. Our aims were to study the unfolding of the main critiques and suggestions made by reviewers in the different review rounds, as well as to explore how both authors and reviewers experienced and valued the review process. Data sources include all review reports and letters where the authors explained the changes made, and questionnaires completed by all the authors and some reviewers. The most commonly identified critiques in the reports were related to content selection and elaboration (coherence and relevance), the own author’s voice (critical positioning and caution) and attention to the reader (precision and consistency in terms and concepts, methodological clarity, writing style, legibility and formal adequacy). All four authors stated that being part of this process was rewarding and educational, highlighting the development of academic writing skills. Some reviewers emphasized the importance of reading other reviewers’ reports. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of providing junior researchers with resources that support them in communicating their research to the academic community.     

构建基于校本研修的有效教研工作方式——昌吉州中小学教研工作方式的调查与思考

为了更好地引导校本研修深入开展,教研员在角色上要从教学的督导、检查、评价和管理变为参与、研究、服务和引领;教研员的工作方式要从面走向点,从宏观走向微观,注重自身的专业发展,这是实现教研工作方式转变的前提。     

Imagined and emerging career patterns: perceptions of doctoral students and research staff

Increasingly, research staff positions rather than lectureships are the reality for social sciences PhD graduates wishing academic work. Within this context, our longitudinal study examined how social science doctoral students and research staff in two UK universities imagined their futures in and out of academia. The variation over time in how they viewed their futures is examined through the lens of identity-trajectory. The results emphasise how individuals balanced their academic intentions with social, personal and physical desires and constraints. The results also enrich understanding of early academic career experience and the conceptualisation of identity-trajectory. Research and policy implications are considered.     

"教师成为研究者"兴起背景探析

"教师成为研究者"备受国内外教育界的关注。"教师成为研究者"的出现并非偶然,它有其独特的思想渊源及社会背景。     

What young people report about the personal characteristics needed for social science research after carrying out their own investigations in an after-school club

Several arguments have been put forward about the benefits of young people carrying out their own social science research in terms of empowering their voices and their participation. Much less attention has been paid to investigating the understandings young people develop about the research process itself. Seven twelve-year olds carried out self-directed social science research into a topic of their choice. Towards the end of their six months experience, we used a questionnaire and follow-up semi-structured interviews to investigate, from a sociocultural perspective, what the young people thought about being a researcher. Thematic analysis of the interviews identified three themes and eight subthemes suggesting that they were aware of: the need to demonstrate researcher/research integrity (be thorough, truthful, orderly, and have a good understanding of research process); the need for good interpersonal skills and standards, and good self-management skills (be resilient, agentic, committed and good at time management). We discuss how first-hand social science research experience might: be relevant to several areas of schooling; give young people experience of the personal characteristics important for success; help young people to realise that they can be social science researchers, and offer advanced and novel learning experiences outside the constraints of the school curriculum.     

中国教育学领域研究人员科研绩效评价研究

本文运用Hirsch指数（简称h指数）方法以及与之相近的W指数方法,通过对中国知网（CNKI）中国引文数据库收录的教育学领域的37本学术期刊（这37本学术期刊是CSSCI来源期刊）在1998-2007年所刊发论文的被引用情况数据进行统计分析,对教育学领域1998—2007年10年间研究人员的科研绩效进行了评价,得到了“1998-2007年段中国教育学领域最具影响力的43位学者”,并对h指数与其他评价指标进行了相关性分析。分析结果表明,利用h指数来评价研究人员科研绩效,一定程度上可以反映“总被引频次”、“论文数量”、“篇均被引频次”三项指标的评价结果,可以说h指数是一项更为综合的评价指标。     

From early career researcher to research leader: survival of the fittest?

The higher education sector is a dynamic environment where universities compete on a global basis for resources, students, and high-quality staff. The impending retirement of the baby boomer generation will create increased competition for research leaders. One way to address this is to develop research leaders from existing researchers. However, little is known about what it takes to transition from a leading researcher to a research leader, so there is much to be learned from the experiences of those who have successfully navigated those transitions. To explore the transition from early career researcher to leading researcher to research leader, we undertook a mixed methods study involving 30 senior research leaders and administrators from a range of organisations across Australia. In this paper, we describe how the career paths of these research leaders developed in a highly competitive research environment and discuss how universities can attract, retain, develop, and promote their researchers.
