关于高等教育认证机制的研究

高等教育(机构或专业)认证是一种高等教育评估和质量保障机制,近年来,受到国际组织和各国政府的广泛关注。高等教育认证作为高等教育发展史上的第四种重要的质量保障机制,诞生于19世纪末20世纪初的关国,经历了从区域认证到专业认证的过程。二战后,政府开始介入教育认证,促使教育认证制度化、法定化和社会化。其主要渠道有两条:对教育认证机构的评估的认可和政府对被认可的学校给予财政支持。同时,加强了对高等教育认证机构再评估和再授权的工作。高等教育认证过程主要包括:认证申请、现场考察、初次认证和后续考察等。高等教育认证的特质与优势表现为:教育认证的动机来自教育机构;教育认证是一个全覆盖、全过程的发展性评估过程;教育认证不仅有“标准”,而且也就各院校的办学理念和特色进行认证评估;教育认证由社会专业中介机构实施;教育认证具有公信力。

THE CHESTER CASE

Broad (1999) Broad, B. 1999. “Facing our professional others: Border crossing in teacher education”. In Preparing a nation's teachers: Models for English and foreign language programs, Edited by: Franklin, P., Laurence, D. E. and Welles, E. B. 373–379. New York: The Modern Language Association of America.  [Google Scholar] observed that “troubled borders crisscross the geography of teacher preparation in English” (p. 373), calling for collaboration where preparation is a university responsibility (Gregorian, 2001 Gregorian, V. 2001. Teacher education must become colleges' central preoccupation. August172001. The Chronicle of Higher Education, pp.B7–B8.  [Google Scholar]). This research documents a three-year complex case study that addressed the question: What happens when English, education, and high school faculty cross borders to prepare secondary English teachers to teach in urban schools? This study looked at faculty mentors and preservice teacher mentees as they collaborated on multi-leveled projects to improve teacher preparation of secondary English teachers. Interventions included collaborative seminars, collaborative mentoring, and individual mentoring of preservice English teachers by English, education, and high school faculty. Results indicate that interventions challenged biases of stakeholders, enhanced the quality of teacher preparation, and revised instructional practices of university English and education faculty and preservice teachers. Results indicate that mentees incorporated suggestions made by mentors that reinforced pedagogical content knowledge. Most mentees regarded content mentors favorably, noting that their focus of observation was different from those of clinical supervisors and cooperating teachers. English and education mentors assimilated changes in personal pedagogy based on observations and discussions with urban high school teachers. Such discussions also challenged personal beliefs about urban students and schools. Content mentors also adjusted syllabi to include materials used in high school curricula. The implication of this study is that “crossing borders” improves and alters how university faculty can better prepare preservice teachers.
