教师文化病理现象透析

教师文化对于促进教师专业发展、优化师资队伍建设,进而提高学校管理质量发挥着举足轻重的作用.然而,目前学校组织中普遍存在着教师文化病理现象,严重阻碍着学校的发展,主要表现为:相互隔离,各自为阵;机械操作,按部就班;主体缺失,放弃管理;丧失动力,迷失自我.笔者认为可以从以下几个方面进行矫治:学校组织层面上,加强民主管理,革新评价机制;教师领导层面上,创造和谐环境,引导自然合作;教师自我层面上,更新传统观念,倡导专业反思.     

教师的疲惫与疲惫的教师:问题与对策

有关调查数据显示,疲惫是今日中小学教师的普遍感受。社会期待的叠加、工作负荷的失据、管理思维的线性及教师心态的失衡导致了教师的疲惫,而疲惫的教师则以“做假帐”或负担转嫁作为回应,并在这样的回应中丢失了创新意识和创新行动。解决这一问题,需要把“分离期待”并“注释期待”、“有组织地舍弃”过度负荷、树立科学的成本观和辩证的闲暇观作为应对教师疲惫的管理策略。同时,也有赖于教师自身心态的调适。     

中小学英语教师知识基础的建构——高校师资培训课程设置个案分析

依据关于教师知识基础的理论研究,结合我国基础教育阶段英语课程标准对教师提出的要求,笔者认为中小学英语师资培训课程可划分为六种基本的知识类别:语言技能、学科知识／基础理论、教学理论和教学技能与技巧、现代教育技术及应用、背景知识和科研方法知识,前三类是教师所必须掌握的知识,而后三类是教师应该掌握的辅助教学实践、完善教学过程的相关知识。     

论新课程对小学语文教师专业素养的新要求

小学语文教师的专业素养是一个动态发展的系统,随着教育目标和要求的变化调整而不断变化发展。新课程的不断推进和深入,对小学语文教师的专业素养结构提出了一些新要求:小学语文教师应具有新的现代教育理念;小学语文教师在知识结构上更加强调多层复合性;小学语文教师应更加注重提高文学素养;小学语文教师应努力提升学习能力、现代化教学技能和教育研究能力。     

秉持现象学态度的教师教育理论研究

秉持现象学态度,依据现象学还原原理进行教师教育理论研究,现象学的教师教育理论研究新领域得以敞开。在现象学态度下,教师作为研究者的主体地位得以确立;教师的教育研究对象与内容为教师的职业生活体验;教师的职业生活体验研究过程与方法是进行现象学的描述与解释;教师进行职业生活体验研究应按照现象学的反思方法去操作;教师的职业生活体验研究是态度、目的、方法与过程的统一。     

Juggling competing activities: academic staff as doctoral candidates

ABSTRACT

This article explores the experiences of a group of established academic staff in New Zealand and the UK, as they undertake a doctorate in their home institutions. Our interest is in how individuals negotiate this dual status from a cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) stance that explores how rules, tools, community and divisions of labour, and interacting activity systems, shape doctoral experiences. The focus in this article, having analysed their detailed narrative accounts, is on how academics experience three interdependent activity systems: those surrounding the thesis, the institutional context, and the home-life spheres. Issues related to time, workload and supervision issues, variability in collegial support and impact on personal priorities and time emerged. There is a range of particularities – from easy access to resources/supervisors to inflexible institutional regulations – applicable to this group of doctoral candidates. Negotiating life as an academic with concurrent doctoral candidature provides positive outcomes in terms of teaching, research confidence and general personal and professional development. However, a range of difficulties can also be encountered, particularly in relation to personal and professional relationships, and workload management.

The impact of a professional development programme on teachers' attitudes towards inclusion

This article describes a study that aimed to answer the following question: ‘Will a programme of professional development in the area of special and inclusive education be effective in achieving attitudinal shift in teachers?’ Forty‐eight teachers who were enrolled on a Master's programme in Special and Inclusive Education were surveyed via a questionnaire at the beginning and end of a ten‐week introductory module. The results indicated overall attitudinal shift and attitudinal shift for four categories of inclusion to suggest more positive attitudes at the end of the module, compared with at the beginning. The implications for providers of pre‐ and in‐service education and training courses for teachers are discussed.     

近十年体育教师专业能力研究综述

通过对近十年我国体育教师专业能力的文献收集,将其分为中小学和大学两大类,并对每类文献做结构、现状、策略的综述。研究方法为文献资料法,逻辑分析法。研究结果:学者对体育教师专业能力结构的见解具有交叉性,但缺少统一的认识,研究范围较小,不足以代表合格教师所应具备的专业能力;现状和策略的研究较为陈旧,对提出的策略没有进一步跟进,策略缺乏创新,需要更深层次的研究。     

Blended learning in higher education: professional development in a Hong Kong university

ABSTRACT

Online learning has become a ubiquitous part of the educational landscape and how teachers are supported in developing approaches to teaching online is a fundamental aspect of the students’ learning experience. Based on the implementation of a professional development course on becoming an online teacher offered in a blended learning mode at one university in Hong Kong, this article proposes that offering this type of professional development in a blended mode is very effective in facilitating enhanced usage of the university’s learning management system. In a blended mode, teachers are actively engaged with blended learning and were found to make more extensive use of features/tools in Blackboard after they attended the professional development course. Results support that offering professional development in a blended mode provides teachers with an authentic student perspective, at the same time as they take guided steps in the teacher’s role in blended learning.
