教师专业化：我国教师教育发展的机遇与挑战

教师专业化是世界教师教育发展的趋势和潮流，也是我国教师教育改革的现实需要和努力方向。为推进教师专业化建设，必须对我国现行的教师教育制度进行改革：建立教师教育一体化模式，实现教师教育终身化；以教师专业化为导向，优化教师教育课程结构；改革教师培养模式，提高教师学历层次；打破传统的教师培养体系，建立多元化、开放的教师教育体系；建立教师专业发展学校，加强理论与实践的结合。     

教师专业化的现状与对策

教师专业化是指教师个体和教师群体的专业水平提高以及教师职业的专业地位的确立和提升的过程。我国教师职业的专业性质和专业地位虽然得到了教育理论界的充分肯定以及国家有关法规的确认,但至今,对教师是不可替代的专门职业仍未形成全社会的共识。最重要的原因是目前中小学教师的专业化水平不高。在推进教师专业化的过程中,现有师范院校必须充分发挥主体作用,深化教育教学改革,大力推进人才培养模式改革和教师培养培训的一体化,不断提高教师培养培训的质量和水平。     

Teacher professionalization: Motivational factors and the influence of age

This study examines motivational factors of teachers who have achieved a national standard of professionalization. Data were collected from National Board certified teachers in the United States (N = 453) using a two-part, web-based survey. Exploratory factor analysis found five motivators: improved teaching, financial gain, collaborative opportunities, self and external validation. Analyses of Variance (ANOVAs) highlighted differences in the financial gain and external validation motivations, depending on the teacher’s age at the time of certification. The results of this study reveal multiple motivators for teacher professionalization, with teachers of different ages motivated by diverse incentives.     

Exploring the dimensionality of teacher professionalization

This article examines the dimensionality of teacher professionalization. Like other recognized professions, teaching deserves a systemic and integral development platform where recruited teachers undergo well-defined transitional stages that would help crystallize their sense of professional identity (Credentialing), professional familiarity (Induction), professional expertise (Specialization), professional security and stability (Compensation), and professional synergy (Professional Development). Model options vis-à-vis the identified stages are comprehensively discussed in this article.

Learning the routines: "professionalization" of newcomers in secondary school

Education systems are expected to enhance both social regulation and emancipation of school students. The contradictions between these aims are visible in the everyday life at school in tensions between control and agency. These tensions are explored in this article by analysing the first two weeks in secondary school, on the basis of ethnographic data collected in the project "Citizenship, Difference and Marginalization in Schools: with Special Reference to Gender." Multilayered processes and practices are involved in the induction of new students. Banal instructions in the "official school," the construction of differences and continuities in the "informal" school, and the ways in which bodies of students are placed in the time-space paths in the "physical" school are explored. The authors ask how school students are taught to become "professional pupils" routinized in the everyday life of their new schools, and how students themselves construct competences through negotiation, withdrawal, or resistance.

教师的专业化与专业化小学教师的培养

教师专业化是现代教育发展必然趋势,不断提高我国教师专业化水平也是实现中华民族伟大复兴事业的现实需要。若想实现教师的专业化,关键是在教师教育专业化建设问题。因此,我们必须转变教育观念,屏弃"以学科为中心,对事物进行分割教育"的教育思想的影响,实现我们提出的"以人为本,整体教育;一个宗旨,两个重点;两个平台一线贯穿"的24字培养模式。培养出具有专业化水平的小学教师,以提高基础教育的质量。     

Discussion paper Education,capability and action: Further comment

ABSTRACT

Responsibility for meeting the costs of higher education in England has moved inexorably away from the government toward the family with the introduction of tuition fee and maintenance loans. Although an important public policy issue, there is limited research on how the policy impinges on the private sphere of the family. This paper focuses on financial support given by parents, including difficulties and constraints along with their perspectives of and responses to student loan debt, and students’ views of their financial independence. In-depth interviews with 28 parent–student dyads revealed different patterns of support. Some parents, contrary to policy assumptions, felt responsibility for their children’s student loan debt and acted to avoid, minimise or cushion the debt. There was evidence of financial stress for less affluent families. However, students with no parental support and high levels of government funding felt financially independent. The findings suggest that more affluent families were able to protect their children from student loan debt in different ways, whilst those with lower incomes were not able to do so, apparently creating a new form of inequality.     

Women's Empowerment and Education: linking knowledge to transformative action

Women's empowerment is a concept that has acquired substantial recognition in the past decade. However, it is better known among international development organisations, NGOs, and grassroots groups than in academic circles. This article examines the concept of women's empowerment as a foundational element in a theory of social change in which the oppressed must be key actors in the change process. On the basis of empirical evidence, it highlights four dimensions of empowerment: economic, political, knowledge, and psychological. The knowledge dimension is fostered by one of the most respected and universal of institutions: formal education. Yet schools do not always provide friendly or even safe spaces for girls; moreover, the school curriculum emphasises academic subjects and avoids ‘life skills’ discussions. Most successful cases of empowerment through education have occurred in non-formal education programmes that specifically promote critical reflection on gendered social norms and encourage corrective responses. The article argues that the empowerment process must consider the close connection between the private and the public arenas, as the private space seriously constrains women's availability and possibilities for transformative action; therefore, both macro- and micro-level interventions are needed to create a modified gender division of labour. The promotion of agency — at both the individual and collective levels — plays a major role in the development of women's empowerment. Such a process requires the engagement of non-state actors, particularly women-led NGOs. The article ends with challenges for policy.     

The professionalization of student learning practice: An ethos of scholarship

It is not enough to know that we should collaborate with our academic and students affairs colleagues. In order to do so effectively, Jan Arminio, Dennis Roberts, and Robert Bonfiglio suggest that all educators need to take a professional, scholarly approach to student learning.     

The professionalization of instructional leadership in the United States: competing values and current tensions

This paper considers two examples of recent policies affecting teachers' work, Performance Threshold Assessment in England and Chartered Teacher status in Scotland. Through tracing their origins and motivations, a comparative analysis is offered, which seeks to explore the extent of the influence of national contexts on developments in the restructuring process. Both policies purport to meet the professional needs of teachers who are a few years into their careers, yet the Scottish example is strongly oriented towards professional development, while the English example is oriented towards performativity and teacher assessment.

城市新移民子女教育:从概念到行动

在近十多年的城市化进程中,我国出现了一个数量巨大的城市新移民子女群体。然而,有关城市新移民子女教育的研究很不足,学校相应的教育干预措施也很缺乏。这既不利于城市新移民子女的健康成长,也不利于城市化进程的推进。     

Motivational control of goal-directed action

The control of goal-directed, instrumental actions by primary motivational states, such as hunger and thirst, is mediated by two processes. The first is engaged by the Pavlovian association between contextual or discriminative stimuli and the outcome or reinforcer presented during instrumental training. Such stimuli exert a motivational influence on instrumental performance that depends upon the relevance of the associated outcome to the current motivational state of the agent. Moreover, the motivational effects of these stimuli operate in the absence of prior experience with the outcome under the relevant motivational state. The second, instrumental, process is mediated by knowledge of the contingency between the action and its outcome and controls the value assigned to this outcome. In contrast to the Pavlovian process, motivational states do not influence the instrumental process directly; rather, the agent has to learn about the value of an outcome in a given motivational state by exposure to it while in that state. This incentive learning is similar in certain respects to the acquisition of “cathexes” envisaged by Tolman (1949a, 1949b).     

Teacher professionalization in the age of social networking sites

As teacher education students become professionals, they face a number of tensions related to identity, social participation, and work-life balance, which may be further complicated by social networking sites (SNS). This qualitative study sought to articulate tensions that arose between professionalization influences and teacher education student participants' SNS participation. Findings suggest that some expectations of professionalization in SNS cut deeply into participants' self-concept and that tensions arose surrounding unclear expectations of professionalization and fears related to political and religious expression. The study's implications are: teachers need to (a) consider how participation in SNS may impact their identity, (b) understand how moral turpitude is defined in their communities and how their behavior aligns with these standards, and (c) carefully explore how they can maintain meaningful social connections in online spaces as they pass through new phases of life and seek to become professionals.     

Education as action/the adventure of education: thinking with Arendt and Whitehead

ABSTRACT

Understanding and action are central themes in Hannah Arendt's thought and an idea that runs throughout her work is that whenever human beings act, they start processes. It is in this light that she saw education as a process whose aim is to make human beings feel at home in the world. Given the centrality of process in understanding action, early on in her work, Arendt reflected and drew upon the ideas of Alfred Whitehead, the philosopher of process. Education in his thought is an art and an adventure whose object should be to enable students to grasp the process of life itself and imagine different worlds. In this light, universities are crucial in creating conditions of possibility for imaginative learning and intellectual adventures. Taking action, process, imagination and adventure as my central ideas, in this paper, I make connections between Arendt and Whitehead in an attempt to think about education within and beyond ‘dark times’.
