实践取向:职前教师实践能力培养探寻

教师职业的特殊性对其教育实践能力有较高的要求。教育实践能力的强弱,决定了职前教师能否尽快适应教师职业的要求,《教师教育课程标准(试行)》中提出实践取向的理念为职前教师的培养指明了方向,本文通过分析职前教师知识和实践能力的结构,从教师教育课程的改革、教育实践能力的训练和监控、职前教师培养队伍的加强和展现平台的提供等方面来探讨职前教师实践能力的培养,以期为高等师范院校教师教育的改革提供一定的借鉴。     

“学会共处”取向的学前教育课程论析：意义、价值取向与建设策略

“学会共处”作为教育的四大支柱之一,已成为21世纪重要的学习需求。“学会共处”作为学前教育课程的新取向对“文明交往”的同伴共处、“和谐共处”的师幼互动的形成,“关关与共”的幼儿园文化的营造具有积极意义;其价值取向主要在于培养儿童的自我意识、他者意识、群体意识;“学会共处”作为学前教育课程的建设,以弹性的游戏课程的设计、基于教师指导的课程实施和以园本课程制度为依托的课程运行为主要方向。

前理解与理解的客观性

前理解是现代解释学的一个基本的概念。它与理解的客观性密切相关。文章试图通过对前理解概念及其它与理解相关的命题的分析指出，前理解与理解客观性并非矛盾的关系，相反，前理解是决定理解客观性的重要因素之一，它为我们探讨理解的客观性问题提供了一个重要的视角。     

Making a difference: moving beyond the superficial treatment of diversity

As populations in contemporary Western societies grow more diverse, the need for teachers to better understand and work with difference productively becomes increasingly critical (Allard & Santoro, 2006 Allard, A. C. and Santoro, N. 2006. Troubling identities: Teacher education students' constructions of class and ethnicity.. Cambridge Journal of Education, 36(1): 115–129. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar]; D'Cruz, 2007 D'Cruz, H. 2007. Working with ‘Diverse Bodies, Diverse Identities’: An approach to professional education about ‘diversity’.. International Journal of Inclusive Education, 11(1): 35–57.  [Google Scholar]). However, the literature on teacher education shows that historically, teacher education programs have aimed to address diversity with add‐on or piecemeal approaches, with little success (McDonald, 2005 McDonald, M. A. 2005. The integration of social justice in teacher education: Dimensions of prospective teachers' opportunities to learn.. Journal of Teacher Education, 56(5): 418–435.  [Google Scholar]). Moreover, some authors (e.g. Lortie, 1975 Lortie, D. 1975. Schoolteacher: A sociological study, Chicago: University of Chicago Press.  [Google Scholar]) have argued that “the predispositions teacher education students bring to teaching are a much more powerful socializing influence than either pre‐service education or later socialization in the workplace” (Johnson, 2002 Johnson, L. 2002. “My eyes have been opened”: White teachers and racial awareness.. Journal of Teacher Education, 53(2): 153–167. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar], p. 154). This article explores research and scholarship in this area and argues that we must move beyond the fragmented and superficial treatment of diversity if we are to encourage dispositions in all pre‐service teachers that are more closely aligned with a recognitive view of social justice.

The teacher efficacy for inclusive practices (TEIP) scale: dimensionality and factor structure

The Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) scale is designed to measure teacher‐self efficacy to teach in inclusive classrooms. The original study identified three scale factors: efficacy in using inclusive instruction (EII), efficacy in collaboration (EC), and efficacy in managing behavior (EMB) (Sharma et al., 2012). The purpose of our study was to examine the TEIP scale for dimensionality and to cross‐validate its factor structure for pre‐service teachers in the context of early childhood education. A bifactor model fit to the data revealed that the TEIP scale is essentially unidimensional, that is, there is one dominant latent factor and the originally found three scale factors (EII, EC, and EMB) represent specific aspects of the general factor of teacher self‐efficacy to teach in inclusive classrooms. Along with providing validation evidence, these findings have important implications for the scoring on the TEIP scale using classical test analysis or unidimensional item response theory models.     

What might readers want? Unexpected responses from Malaysian Literature in English students and suggestions of potentiality in text selection

This article is based on the premise that mandated reading in literature classrooms may be perceived as an imposition and disliked by students. Attempts to address that scenario have suggested that text selection should be given more consideration to promote reading engagement, particularly by choosing texts which are familiar to the lifeworlds of students. Aside from ideas of familiarity and student preferences in reading, this article argues that text selection could also take into account text potentialities, as proposed by Louise Rosenblatt, from which three aspects are discernible; potentiality for participation, potentiality for a sustained reading experience, and potentiality for an enjoyable reading experience. These aspects of potentiality are illustrated and discussed through the literature classroom experiences of two Malaysian pre‐university English literature students. This article contends that ideas of text potentiality help us interpret students' responses to mandated texts and informs discussion among curriculum constructors and teachers about text selection in the literature classroom.
