开展校本培训促进教师专业发展

1999年教育部《关于实施“中小学教师继续教育工程”的意见》中提出：“中小学是教师继续教育的重要基地,……,各中小学都要制定本校教师培训计划,建立教师培训档案,组织多种形式的校本培训”。新课程对教师专业化发展提出新的更高要求——培养专业精神,更新教育观念．扩展知识,掌握信息技术,提高教育实践能力与科研能力。扎实深入的校本培训必然是教师专业化发展的必由之路,必然是培养适应新课程需要的教师队伍的优质平台。     

基于教师专业发展阶段理论的教师培训工作思考

《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要(2010-2020年)》提出了我国未来十年教师队伍的建设目标,教师培训是实现这一目标的重要途径。加强教师培训改革,突出教师在培训中的主体地位,注重教师培训的全程规划,设计个性化的培训内容,采取实践取向的培训形式等,是提高教师培训质量、早日实现教育建设目标的重要举措。     

开展校本培训 促进教师专业发展

国家教育部在《关于继续教育的规定》要求“各校要开展积极派送教师参加集训和在本校开展多项的培训活动”．这表明了教师继续教育应包括两个部分：脱产培训参加集中培训和学校自主进行的培训。在新一轮的课程改革中。每一所学校．每一位教师比以往任何时候都要面临更多的新问题、新困惑、新矛盾。如何存新课程、新理念、新标准下，去研究和解决新课程实施中出现的新问题，一味靠原有的老经验已经不能奏效了．需要借助研究找到新的途径与方法。     

教师专业发展与校本培训

教师专业发展是教师主动、自主的专业化成长，它依靠教学反思、专业对话等逐步实现。校本培训应抓好教师自我专业发展意识的培养，按不同类型对教师进行培训，以促进教师专业发展的顺利进行。     

全面落实“新农村”教师专业发展培训

加强农村教师培训是促进教育均衡发展的战略举措。几年来，在全市范围内开展的教师培训工作在各级领导的高度重视下，在基层的努力实践下，扎实有效地展开，对促进教师的专业化发展发挥了不可替代的作用。在建设“和谐社会”和建设社会主义“新农村”的背景下，我们必须站在更高的层面来认识农村教师培训工作的重大意义。[第一段]     

教师专业发展与校本培训

教师专业发展是时代的要求,更是教育发展的必然趋势.在我国,基础教育课程改革,对教师专业化和专业发展,提出了迫切要求,为此,人们不断摸索教师成长和发展的规律,逐步认识到校本培训在教师专业发展上的作用,并通过校本培训推进教师专业发展.     

促进教师专业发展创新教师培训特色

教师的专业发展是提高教育教学质量的本源.如何采用有效的培训手段,促进教师专业发展,并就培训目标的确定、课程体系的构建、培训方式的创新、培训特色的塑造、考核机制的探索等五个方面进行深入的研究和实践,是作为中小学教师培训机构的教师进修学校应关注的课题.     

研究型教师培训：促进教师专业发展的有效途径

研究型教师培训是目前被广泛采用的一种典型的培训模式，并且在我国新一轮基础教育课程改革过程中对于教师的专业发展产生了很大的推动作用，本文结合研究型教师培训的实践，阐述了研究型教师培训的含义、基本理念，并结合教师专业发展的各个方面进行了相关的探讨。     

校本培训是教师专业发展的必然选择

教师专业发展的趋势是教师成为反恩实践者，不断提升实践智慧，提高自我更新意识和能力，这就要求教师培训不能脱离教师的教学实践。校本培训不仅充分发挥了学校在教师培训中的巨大作用，而且其特点也很好地满足了教师专业发展的需要。因此，校本培训是教师专业发展的必然选择。     

国内外教师专业发展培训内容之比较

目前,提高教师专业发展的途径主要是进行师资培训,教师培训内容的好坏直接制约着培训的效果,从而对教师专业发展起到不可估量的作用。在当代,各国已普遍放弃零碎的、查漏补缺式的培训方式,根据社会和科技进步的要求,确定了更为广泛的教师在职教育和培训的内容。本文通过国内外教师培训内容的比较,取长补短,希望对今后我国的师资培训有所裨益。一、国外教师专业发展培训美国教育学家ThomasR.Guskey指出,教师专业发展就是那些用以提高教育者的专业知识、技能和态度的过程和活动,以使他们能改善学生学习的效果。专业发展的模式一般有如下几种…

Initial teacher training: The professional route to technician status

Summary

Trends in the status of teacher education can be examined through proposals for alternative models of course structure and delivery and the implications of these for teacher trainers and teachers. This paper implies that there exists a political will to move responsibility for teacher training from Colleges of Education and Universities to ‘training’ schools. It indicates that, while the introduction of a market led education service suggests greater autonomy for teachers and schools, the reality is that through strengthening the role of bureaucracy in education, the Government retains strong central control over the whole service.     

Measuring characteristics of teacher professional development

The primary purpose of the study was to create and psychometrically test an instrument which measured teachers’ perceptions of characteristics of professional development. The sample consisted of elementary teachers from five school districts in Washington State participating in a district improvement initiative. Results of exploratory factor analysis resulted in a five-component solution which provided evidence of construct validity. All components/subscales had moderate to strong internal consistency as measured by Cronbach’s alpha. The secondary purpose was to determine if characteristics of professional development predicted teachers’ use of new knowledge and skills, and student learning outcomes, thus contributing to the predictive validity of the instrument. There was a slight, but significant, correlation between Active Learning in Classroom and teachers’ use of new knowledge and skills, as measured by classroom observation scores. A small negative correlation emerged between Collective Participation and student learning, as measured by student scores on the state’s mathematics assessment. Potential uses of the instrument, called Characteristics of Teacher Professional Development (CTPD), are discussed.     

Mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University: professional curriculum development and teacher training

This paper offers a multi-perspective view on engineering education at RWTH Aachen University: curriculum design, examples of newly developed teaching methods for engineering curri-cula, and teaching competencies and teacher qualification. It is based on the theories of student-centred learning, project learning, social skills, etc., but the paper covers the practical implications and ways of implementation of these items in a current design process of a new study programme: In the course of the Bologna process the mechanical engineering study programme of RWTH Aachen University has encountered a complete and thorough revision responding to the need of present-day technical students and—accordingly—to the fast-growing requirements of the engineering industry. This change process will be presented. A case study from engineering informatics shows concepts for modern teaching methods, responding to the requirements of students and industry, especially regarding social skills. Teaching competencies have to change and grow accordingly. Thus, a concept for the improvement of educational skills and abilities of engineering teachers—integrated into their work process—is demonstrated.     

Teacher professional leadership in support of teacher professional development

Counteracting perceptions of teaching as a profession with a flat career trajectory may require professional leadership opportunities for experienced teachers that differ substantively from those typically available. This evaluation study investigated the results of a professional development initiative for subject specialist teachers seconded to a leadership role in their curriculum areas. Interview and survey data supported teacher growth in subject expertise and leadership capacity attributed to the opportunities provided by the new teacher-leadership role. The findings of this study indicate expanded leadership roles may further develop experienced professionals while simultaneously supporting teacher knowledge during a period of embedding educational reform.     

Developing teacher assessment skills: The impact of the dynamic approach to teacher professional development

This study investigates the extent to which the Dynamic Approach (DA) to Teacher Professional Development (TPD) can help teachers develop their assessment skills and through that contribute to the improvement of student learning outcomes. To achieve this aim, a multi-treatment group randomisation study was conducted to compare the impact of the DA with the impact of the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) on developing assessment skills and promoting student learning outcomes. Assessment skills of 178 teachers and achievement of their students (n = 2358) were measured before and after the intervention. The DA had greater impact on teacher assessment skills and student learning outcomes than the CBA. Differential effects were also identified since differences in the impact of each approach were only identified for teachers who were situated at higher stages of assessment skills. Implications of findings for research, policy and practice are drawn.     

Conceptualising self-generating online teacher professional development

In 2012, a research project was implemented to investigate the possibility and effectiveness of instituting a personalised and virtually networked mode of professional development to promote teacher confidence and competence with information and communications technology and its use as a key component of teachers’ pedagogy. The aim of the project was to examine an online mode of professional development where a network of teachers was built without any face-to-face contact and where the approach for professional development was personalised and self-directed. Six geographically dispersed schools in Queensland were involved, with 12 teachers participating over the school year supported by a mentor. Findings reveal that teachers operated in an independent manner, acknowledging community but taking from rather than contributing to the generation of co-created knowledge. Implications drawn from the case studies suggest that greater milestone-setting, multiple levels of leadership and special interest groups are required to support interaction between users and content while still maintaining an agile approach.
