论现代远程教育中教师地位及作用的变化

现代远程教育利用电视、计算机、网络等教育技术，师生时空分离、学生自主学习，是一种全新教学形式，因而教师在教学中的地位与作用发生了巨大的变化：从中心、主导地位退居到从属、辅助地位，由主角变成配角，由台前转到了幕后，由教学变为助学，即主要表现为教学中的指导、辅导、督导作用。认识这一变化，对把握现代远程教学的特点和规律，提高远程教学与人才培养的质量，促进现代远程教育的健康发展，具有重要的意义。     

Idiographic roles of cooperating teachers as mentors in pre-service distance teacher education

This study aims to define the roles of cooperating teachers as mentors in the context of distance-learning teacher education. The participants included 358 cooperating teachers who mentored 4th-year student teachers in a Distance English Language Teacher Training Program in Turkey. To determine the roles that were perceived as mentoring roles by the cooperating teachers in the distance practicum, an inventory of 10 primary mentoring functions was constructed. These functions included five primary mentoring roles: ‘self-trainer’, ‘networker, ‘social supporter’, ‘academic supporter’, and ‘psychological supporter’. The results will contribute to an increased understanding of how cooperating teachers perceive their mentoring roles during distance practicums.     

Pre-service teacher education students' epistemological beliefs and their conceptions of teaching

A study using both quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted in the final year of a Bachelor of Education programme to examine the student-teachers' epistemological beliefs and conceptions of teaching. The results show that most of the student-teachers (i) strongly believed that learning effort was more important than innate ability, (ii) strongly believed that knowledge changes, and (iii) were inclined to question the authority of knowledge. Although student-teachers who had sophisticated or mixed epistemological beliefs tended to believe in constructivist or mixed conceptions of teaching as predicted, inconsistent cases were identified. Implications for teacher education programmes are discussed.     

Teaching and teacher education

The Wenhsing Street Primary School starts to liven up at 7 a.m., though classes don't begin until 8. The pupils on duty for the day come to clean up the classrooms, groups of colorfully dressed girls assemble in the schoolyard to play their favorite game, skipping a rope of rubber bands. A group of boys, their foreheads beaded with sweat, pursue a small football across the playing field. The morning sun illuminates eight large characters painted in white on the red brick wall of the four-story school building - Chairman Mao's admonition to the children of new China: "Study well and make progress every day."

Organizational health and teacher education

Abstract

The concept of organizational health in teacher education programs is conceptualized and investigated. Eleven dimensions of organizational health in academia are identified and described. In addition, the current state of affairs regarding organizational health as recognized by the faculty and administration of 12 colleges/schools of education in the United States is described. Respondents felt most positive about the dimension of loyalty and commitment; the resource utilization dimension received the most negative organizational health rating. Demographic variables of age, gender, type of appointment (administrative or faculty), academic rank, number of years at the present institution, and tenure status were examined to determine whether they influenced perceptions of organizational health in teacher education programs. Type of appointment was the most influential factor on perceptions of organizational health; administrators had significantly higher perceptions than did nonadministrators on 10 of the 11 organizational health dimensions. Age was also found to be a significant factor on more than one‐half of the dimensions, and number of years at the institution influenced perceptions of three of the health dimensions.
