教师专业身份认同探析

教师专业身份认同作为教师专业成长的核心,是实现教师专业发展的内部保证。但在目前课程改革的背景下,教师的专业身份认同尚存在一些问题,需要学校、教师个人采取多种途径,共同努力,促使教师实现自身的专业身份认同。     

从幼儿教师专业认同看影响教师专业发展的因素

幼儿教师专业认同是幼儿教师对自己身为幼儿教师所具有的意义的整体看法。分析幼儿教师专业认同对专业发展的影响可从自我形象、专业准备、工作动机、教学实践、未来展望等方面进行。     

教师的专业成长组织:教师协作学习共同体

教师专业化是教师教育发展的方向,教师的专业发展需要在教育实践中进行,学校是教师专业成长与发展的场所,“合作”“共享”是教师专业发展的关键,教师协作学习共同体在教师专业成长中起着激发教师主体生长性,提升教师的实践性智慧,提高教师的合作意识和能力的作用。其运作方式包括:课题活动方式、同行交流方式、结伴合作方式、专家引领方式、教育教学问题研讨方式。     

Problem-Based Learning as an Effective Strategy for Science Teacher Professional Development

Abstract

The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Project for Teachers included three days of professional development using PBL to deepen teachers’ content knowledge. Teachers identified the content area in which they wished to work from a list of choices. They worked in facilitated groups of from five to nine participants to solve rich, ill-structured problems. Content knowledge was assessed based on teachers’ written responses to at least one general question and one application question in which they explained some everyday phenomena. Teachers responded to these questions two months before and at the end of the professional development; 80.5 percent of the 41 middle and high school teachers who participated showed improved content knowledge. We also examined the patterns in teachers’ incoming content knowledge and changes in content knowledge. The data indicate that the PBL approach used here was effective in improving the content knowledge of teachers independent of demographic factors and type and degree of incoming content knowledge.     

The Role of Heads of Department in the Professional Development of Educators: A Distributed Leadership Perspective

The qualitative study reported on was, undertaken from a distributed leadership perspective, and was an attempt to provide understanding of how heads of department (HoDs) develop educators within the organisational context of different schools and subject departments. The findings are related to the current policy framework for professional development in South African schools. Two fee-paying and two non-fee-paying schools were selected and interviews were conducted with HoDs from single subject (unitary) and multi-subject (federal or confederate) departments in each school. The data was transcribed, coded, analysed and related to the research question. The findings confirmed that HoDs are a key link between principals and the educators in their classrooms. This supports the view that HoDs have formal responsibilities and accountabilities and they wield a horizontal and a vertical influence. Recommendations are made to improve professional development practice by HoDs in particular and in the education system in general.     

免费师范生的职业认同类型及其学习动机特点研究

对来自两所部属师范大学的1172名免费师范生的职业认同和学习动机进行了测量,通过聚类分析将免费师范生的教师职业认同分为四种类型,研究考察了四种类型学生的分布特点及其在学习动机上的表现。结果表明:(1)免费师范生的教师职业认同可划分为四种类型:热爱型、兴趣型、功利型、回避型;(2)四种类型的免费师范生在性别、年级和生源地上呈现出不同的分布特点;(3)四种类型的免费师范生在学习动机水平上差异显著。本研究对此提出了相应的建议。     

校本教师发展与教师专业学习共同体的建构

相对传统教师发展的范式,即自上而下的发展模式——校本教师发展强调教师为改革的中心,教师发展应立足于教师工作的环境和脉络之中,以课堂和学校为本位。教师专业学习共同体则关注教师发展的脉络化,强调通过在学校中建构专业学习共同体,实现教师学习和实践的共享,从而提升教师质素,并实现学校向学习型组织的转变。校本教师发展与教师专业学习共同体在学校脉络这一平台上实现融合,教师在学校的专业学习共同体之脉络中,借由分享领导、集体学习、共享实践,并最终形成教师发展的学校本位之系统建构。     

A Professional Learning Community for the New Teacher Professionalism: The Case of a State-Led Initiative in Singapore Schools

ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to explore the empirical fit of two PLC models, using Singapore as a case. Insights emerged from documentary analyses and interviews with state-affiliated agents from the Academy of Singapore Teachers. The proposed DuFour–Fullan model, despite policy aspirations, remains largely DuFour-predominant in practice. Aspirations for a Fullan-inspired approach are evident, but still rest in the stage of conceptualization.     

课程改革、教师赋权增能与教师专业学习共同体——上海市四所小学的个案研究

基于对上海地区四所小学的田野调查,考察教师在“赋权增能”政策条件下,如何处理课程改革中所面临的问题,及其所处教师共同体的影响。研究发现：课程改革给教师造成的压力客观上推进了教师发展和教师专业学习共同体的构建;课程改革在赋权增能的同时赋予教师高度问责,造成教师不愿承担赋权,而教师专业学习共同体以群体分责来支持教师的赋权增能;未来课程改革应当寻求赋权、增能和问责的平衡,并推进教师专业学习共同体的建设,从而支持教师真正成为课程改革的“代理人”。     

课程改革中教师专业身份的危机与重构

课程改革中,教师的专业身份往往面临挑战,它也是教师面对压力的一个重要原因。本文提出关注教师在课程改革中专业身份的重新建构,并以质的研究方法,指出教师寻求专业身份的过程充满了挣扎与无力感,因此要给教师以适切的支持与尊重,使他们获得专业身份的赋权,从而实现真正意义上的教师专业发展。     

国际视野中的教师专业学习与发展模式走向

教师专业学习与发展对提升教育质量具有重要作用。对于发达国家的教师专业学习与发展模式的理念、机制、措施和成效的整体性分析与走向判断,有助于我国教师教育改革与发展的借鉴和决策参考。     

论学科教学论教师的专业身份简

学科教学论教师是专业的教师教育者,是生产和传播教师教育知识的学术人.在教师教育大学化过程中,学科教学论教师的专业发展受到普通大学教师学术范式的影响,注重探究理论,轻视教学实践.教师教育的科学发展呼唤学科教学论教师的专业身份回归教师教育者本位.     

教师在线专业学习共同体的内涵、价值及其构建

教师课改认同感与教师专业学习社群的关系研究

近年来西方研究指出教师专业学习社群能支持教师成为改革代理人,提升其改革投入。因此本研究通过对实施新课改十年S省的调查研究,考察教师课改认同感与教师专业学习社群的关系。研究发现:教师专业学习社群能通过影响教师对新课程特征的认知,并能通过改革学校改革管理来提升教师的改革价值感,进而影响其课改认同感。     

大学英语教师学习共同体叙事研究

一项跟踪某高校大学英语教师学习共同体的个案研究表明：以课堂教学研究为核心的教师学习共同体,从情感和知识技能两个维度促进了大学英语教师科研成长及身份转变。教师学习共同体打破以往自上而下的教师团队建设形式,有利于促进教师师徒传授和同伴互助,是普通大学英语教师专业发展的有效途径。     

幼儿教师专业身份认同的困惑及其重塑

幼儿教师专业身份认同的“二元分离”现象、幼儿教师主体身份认同与社会角色期待间的冲突、幼儿教师专业身份认同缺乏法律保障是目前幼儿教师专业身份认同存在的三大现实境遇。通过分析幼儿教师专业身份认同存在困惑的原因,提出重塑幼儿教师专业身份认同的策略,这对于幼儿教师、幼儿教育事业的整体发展有着重要的现实意义。     

教师学习:专业发展的替代性概念

上世纪九十年代以后,西方研究者们在批判教师专业发展概念的同时提出教师学习概念。教师学习逐渐成为教师教育研究中的主导性概念。概念的更替使得观念发生了转变,一种旨在促进学生有效学习,关注教师学习自主导向,强调工作场景中真实探究,以及倡导学校变革中的持续更新的教师学习观念正在逐渐形成。     

专业共同体:教师发展的组织基础

在专业共同体中推动教师专业发展是教师教育改革的新方向。本文论述了教师专业共同体的概念、特征、理论基础、重要意义,并指出构建教师专业共同体的关键是学校文化的重建。     

Developing a Professional Identity as an Elementary Teacher of Nature of Science: A self-study of becoming an elementary teacher

This study explores the development of professional identity as a teacher of nature of science (NOS). Our research question was ‘How can a teacher develop a professional identity as an elementary teacher of NOS?' Through a researcher log, videotaped lessons, and collection of student work, we were able to track efforts in teaching NOS as part of regular classroom practice. A team of four researchers interpreted the data through the Beijaard et al. professional identity framework and found that it was not as simple and straightforward to teach NOS as we predicted. Development of professional identity as a teacher of NOS was influenced by contextual factors such as students, administration, and time, as well as personal struggles that were fraught with emotion. Development took place through an interpretation and reinterpretation of self through external factors and others' perceptions, as well as the influence of sub-identities.     

School Innovation in Science: A Model for Supporting School and Teacher Development

‘School Innovation in Science’ represents a model, developed through working with more than 200 Victorian schools, to improve science teaching and learning. SIS works at the level of the science team and the teacher, providing resources to challenge and support the change process. Its emphasis is on strategic planning supported by a framework for describing effective teaching, materials for auditing practice and planning initiatives, and a networked support structure. Experience and results from the project, concerning the nature and extent of change, will be used to provide insight into the multidimensional nature of the change process and to suggest a number of principles concerning support for change. Arising out of this, the major elements of a School Innovation Model are identified, that supports a transformative agenda for schools more generally.
