From pre-service to in-service teachers: a longitudinal investigation of the professional development of English language teachers in secondary schools

This study reports on a longitudinal inquiry into professional identity construction among six novice cross-border English language teachers from mainland China, who completed their pre-service teacher education in Hong Kong (HK) and began their teaching practice in local HK schools. The findings indicate that the participants navigated obstacles in teaching by deploying their own multiple languages as a cultural and linguistic repertoire. The findings also show that the teachers experienced difficulty legitimising their professional identity in the teaching community, where contextual issues and power interplays mediated the process. Furthermore, it is found that the participants’ commitment to teaching was negatively influenced by their non-legitimate position in the teaching community and the discordance between their teaching beliefs and the norms and values of their workplace. This study suggests that complex inter-relationships between marginal status in and legitimate membership of the community, between historical and cultural background, present practice, and future expectations, between social discourse and personal location, are involved in the process of identity construction. Measures to legitimate these teachers’ position and to transform the linguistic and cultural repertories of these teachers into valuable resources of the local schools are suggested. Implications for future research are outlined.

Mathematics anxiety of some pre-service primary school teachers

The construct ‘mathematics anxiety’ is explored with a sample of first year primary education university students. Self reported measures of anxiety about needing to use mathematics, and anxiety about the prospect of teaching mathematics, are moderately and positively correlated. The factor structure of a set of 13 items related to ‘mathematics anxiety’ is consistent with previous studies and the associations of these factors to other, related measures are explored using multiple linear regression of the factor scores. It is argued that it is likely to be more valuable to investigate ‘mathematics anxiety’ in terms of its composite factors than as a single phenomenon. Directions for future investigations are indicated.

The effect of problem-based learning on the metacognitive awareness of pre-service science teachers

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on the metacognitive awareness of pre-service science teachers. In the study, an experimental design with pre-test/post-test control group was used. A total of 51 junior pre-service science teachers participated in the study. The study was carried out over 10 weeks and within the scope of an environmental science course. During the study, lessons in the experimental group were processed using a PBL approach while lessons in the control group were processed using a traditional teaching approach. Data were collected through a personal information form and Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. Data were then analysed using PASW Statistics 18 (SPSS Inc.). The findings of the study revealed that PBL could be an effective intervention to promote metacognitive awareness towards procedural knowledge, planning and debugging. The results are discussed based on the findings of the study.

初中英语教师专业发展研究:现状与对策

针对我省参加2010年"国培计划"的156名初中英语教师,从生活状况、工作环境、教学情况、科研情况、专业现状、发展需求6个方面进行了专业发展现状调查。调查显示我省初中英语教师的职业幸福感偏低,专业满意度偏低;由于担心影响考试成绩,不少学校没有实施教改,"穿新鞋,走老路"的现象广泛存在;教师普遍缺乏专业发展的自觉性和动力;教师排斥理论学习、排斥教研/科研。基于调查结果,对我省初中英语教师专业发展提出一些建议和对策。     

浅谈商务英语翻译中跨文化意识的提高

随着世界的迅猛发展,人与人之间的贸易交流也变得越来越密切,商务翻译也因此越来越普及。传统的观念认为有了足够的语言能力,丰富的知识,基本的技能,人们就能够在交际中有很好的表现并取得成功。但是,他们却忽视了文化间的差异。因此,译者应该重视跨文化意识的培养和其翻译策略。这二者是商务翻译获得成功的保证。本文旨在研究跨文化意识在商务英语翻译及其翻译策略中的重要性,并引导译者强化和培养自身的跨文化意识和能力以有效地促进国际商务活动的开展。     

乡村小学全科教师乡土情怀培育的价值、困境及路径

乡土情怀是乡村小学全科教师热爱、扎根乡村教育的精神动力,是推动其职业发展的坚实之基。在乡村小学全科教师的成长过程中,由于乡土文化教育渗透不足、社会支持体系不够健全、自我参与乡土文化建设不多等原因,导致其乡土认同感缺失、乡土归属感孱弱、乡土使命感不强。基于此,乡村小学全科教师乡土情怀的培育,需要进一步完善小学教育人才培养方案,强化社会支持体系建设和自我内生式成长。     

Understanding legitimate teacher authority in a cross-cultural teaching context: pre-service Chinese language teachers undertaking teaching practicum in international schools in Hong Kong

Legitimate teacher authority is fundamental to effective teaching, but is often a thorny issue that teachers need to grapple with when teaching in cross-cultural teaching contexts. By interviewing 18 pre-service Chinese language teachers on their understanding of legitimate teacher authority throughout teaching practicum at international schools in Hong Kong, this study revealed that the teachers changed their perception about the essentiality and the nature of the pedagogical and interpersonal components of legitimate teacher authority. They developed a more nuanced and balanced understanding about legitimate teacher authority over time. However, their abilities in reaching the balance were constrained by their cultural knowledge and skills in achieving positive interpersonal dynamics when implementing student-centred pedagogies.     

Scientific evidence as content knowledge: a replication study with English and Turkish pre-service primary teachers

Pre-service teachers around the world need to develop their content knowledge of scientific evidence to meet the requirements of recent school curriculum developments which prepare pupils to be scientifically literate. This research reports a replication study in Turkey of an intervention originally carried out with pre-service primary teachers in England. The cohorts had different characteristics; in particular, their overall ability, their confidence in science and how they had been taught science at school were different. Despite these differences the explicit teaching of the ‘concepts of evidence’, which is described, proved to be a targeted and efficient intervention in both cohorts. Following teaching both cohorts had increased their understanding of scientific evidence, improved their ability to conduct an open-ended investigation and they were able to ask questions about the evidence for claims made in a socio-scientific issue.
