教师做行动研究为何困难重重？

近年来行动研究备受国内外教育学者的关注。在我国新课程改革的背景下,行动研究作为一种研究方式,更是被看作教师参与课程改革的有力工具而得到广泛提倡。然而在实践中,教师的行动研究正不断遭遇各种困难。从教师自身和外部两个角度分析教师在行动研究各个步骤中遇到的障碍,可以帮助我们深化对行动研究的认识,为行动研究在教育实践中的有效开展提供参考。     

论行动研究与英语课程创新

在英语课程改革中,行动研究意味着教学研究范式的转变。行动研究的反思和批判功能可以对传统的英语课程改革模式进行改造,转变教师的课程观和教学理念,从而使学校和教师成为推进课程改革的主动力。在英语课程改革的进程中,教育叙事研究、反思性课堂教学和校本教研蕴涵着行动研究的理念,它们是行动研究在英语课程创新中的具体表现。     

教师行动研究中遇到的困难

近年来,随着我国新课程改革的进行,教师行动研究的关注度逐步提高,并成为了教师参与教学与课程改革的有效途径。虽然如此,但在调查研究过程中发现,教师在行动研究途中还是面临了很多困难。本文从教师自身和外部两个难度对此进行探讨,以期为行动研究在教育实践中的有效开展提供有效参考。     

教育行动研究述评

教育行动研究作为一种可持续发展的教育学研究方法,在促进课程改革、教师专业发展等方面起着重要作用。通过对教育行动研究的历史背景及其在中国的发展现状进行梳理,总结我国教育行动研究在教育实践应用、课程改革、校本行动研究、教师专业发展以及理论研究方面的进展,并探讨其在教育学研究领域的发展前景。     

行动研究从这里起航——县级教科所与农村中小学合作研究的实践探索

行动研究符合教师研究的特点,在推进课程改革的大环境中,已成为县级中小学科研人员与教师合作研究的主要形式。在行动研究中,教师自我发展动力由缺失走向主动,教师眼中的“研究”在实践探索中转变,教师校本研究在客观条件的限制下也在寻求突破。而科研态度暧昧、研究行动淡漠、研究经费无着、缺乏政策支持是开展校本行动研究的突出问题。

Teacher researchers in action research in a heavily centralized education system

Action research is characterized by a new paradigm of empowering teachers to monitor their own practices in a more autonomous manner with a vision of challenging and improving their own techniques of teaching through their own participatory research. Yet in spite of this apparently radical shift in the function of the teacher from the constant consumer of scientific theories to a researcher, as envisioned, the concept of action research as an in-service teacher education strategy has not received due attention in practice. For this reason, the presented case study was undertaken to examine whether the notion of action research by teachers was a viable option for in-service teacher development in a highly centralized education system. More specifically, this paper sought to answer whether teachers have any vision of what they can achieve with action research, whether there is scepticism on the part of teachers about the effectiveness and feasibility of action research as practice-based undertaking, and whether there are inherent structural problems that preclude teachers from undertaking such a role. Three English Language Teaching teachers were involved in this action research. The findings indicate that teachers, being capable of carrying out action research, were quite positive about action research and hopeful for overcoming some inadequacies in their educational environment, making it an asset for personal-professional development despite a highly centralized education system.     

行动研究在我国的发展:回顾与反思

我国早期的行动研究具有实证主义的倾向,认为行动研究的目的是探究普遍的教育规律,以教育实验的方式进行,强调实验过程对条件的控制,只有极少数教师参与行动研究;从20世纪90年代开始,我国的行动研究一方面仍遵循实证主义的"假设—验证"模式,另一方面也具备了解释主义的精神,即在教育教学的实际情境中去发现问题和解决问题,由此理解情境化的教育实践;进入21世纪,我国的行动研究更是坚持解释主义的立场,并出现"草根化"的趋势。行动研究不再被认为是单纯的解决问题的工具,而是教师将他人理论转化为个人理论,再转化为教学行为,从而促进学生学习和教师专业发展的过程。     

让教师在校本研究中成长

教师开展校本研究的具体方式有:从事件研究到问题研究;经验总结研究与经验移植研究;试验研究。教师开展研究的重要前提是:教师对自身角色的重新认知;教师重视理论的自主构建;在同行交流中学习。而构建新型学校文化则是教师开展校本研究的必要保障。     

教育行动研究的困境及其解读

教育行动研究作为教育研究的重要组成部分,越来越受到不少学者青睐,同时也成为学者与中小学教师合作研究的重要平台.然而,作为一种集体行动,教育行动研究不可避免地陷入某些困境:教师地位与学者地位的不平等、教师与学者语域理解上的偏差、教师"学习"理论与"行动"理论的分裂、教师行为模式与研究模式的对立.而中小学教师自身对行动研究的理解和认识上的误区是教育行动研究困境的主要根源.     

Action research: professional development to help support and retain early career teachers

This article analyzes how participation in teacher-led, semester-long, action research projects influences early career teacher (fewer than three years of teaching experience) perceptions of support and learning. All teachers at an urban, newly developed, small high school participated in action research projects as a result of the administrations’ attempts to modify the school’s approach to professional development to better meet the teachers’ needs. Two cycles of action research projects were implemented and teachers provided feedback through an end-of-project evaluation. Data were also collected through participant observation and informal interviews. Results show that teacher-led action research projects as a professional development structure contribute to the development of a supportive professional culture, feelings of context-specific support, and feelings of empowerment and being overwhelmed in an urban school staffed primarily with early career teachers.

Transformational professional development: (re)claiming agency and change (in the margins)

With performativity and evidence-based teaching, the development of action research (AR) by teachers brings tensions and challenges as teachers move outside their comfort zones and question their practice. This article draws on a small-scale research study developed with teachers. It was funded as part of a professional development initiative by a Teaching School Alliance to support partner schools with university support to build teacher-led systematic research into everyday practice. The dataset combined interviews with teachers about their motivations and experiences, field notes from the sessions, the teachers’ final written reports and their evaluation surveys about the project. This article offers a unique perspective on teachers as researchers in a new age of work-based AR with the risk of research by teachers in schools being regarded as part of an uncritical ‘tick box’ performative and celebratory culture. However, the authors argue that teacher research can contribute to a transformational approach to professional development working as an antidote and a source of (re)professionalization based on the outcomes of collaboration, reflection and attention to the singularity of their ‘contexts-for action’ and specific pupils’ needs.     

Existential approaches to action research

The existential approach to action research is derived from research that suggests that teachers' actions, intentions, and beliefs are manifestations of their ways of being teachers. A teacher's ‘way of being’ in an educational situation is defined and informed by what was and is for the teacher, and his or her intentions for what could be. It is essentially the way that that person is a teacher – where ‘teacher’ is one of the many ways that that person is and can be. The existential approach to action research extends the way of being perspective by examining three aspects of personhood – situation, existence precedes essence and freedom – and combines them with critical reflection and action. The result is that existential action research happens when people work together to research their own ways of being a teacher to increase their capacity to choose freely, and to act responsibly for themselves and those they care for     

教育行动研究的过程分析

营造积极的生活与工作环境以增进教师求真求进的专业精神,进而唤起并培育教师的主动性与创造性是近年来教师教育的核心,教育行动研究是教师通过扩权增能的过程实现上述目的的重要思想和方法。然而,非常缺乏理论联系实践的对教育行动研究过程的探讨。本研究把教育行动研究过程概括为计划、实施、资料收集和反思四个环节,并结合实践经验较为系统地探讨了四个环节的内涵及其之间的互动关系。
