“教师专业化”认识上的误区

Misunderstanding on Teacher Specialization

教师工作具有不确定性、非线型性、复杂性及创造性等特点,教师个体自身所需具备的学科知识并不是专业性的知识,作为教师职业专业知识的教育学知识还不足以支撑起教师职业的专业地位,教师职业本身又缺乏较强的自主性,这些都决定了教师专业化只能是一种特殊意义上的专业化。同时教师专业化并不能等同于教师的职业发展。教师专业化的着眼点是教师这门职业,教师职业发展的着眼点是教师个体,并且单纯以促进教师职业发展的范式来促进教师专业化也是行不通的。

Teaching is indefinite, nonlinear, complex, and creative. The subject knowledge that individual teacher needs to have is not professional, knowledge on education which teaching as a kind of profession needs to have can＇ t make up the foundation of teaching as a kind of profession, and teaching as a kind of vocation can only act on its own badly, which all make teacher specialization a kind of specialization with special meanings. At the same time, teacher specialization is different from teacher vocational development, teacher specialization stresses on teactfing as a kind of vocation, teacher vocational development stresses on individual teacher, and teacher specialization can＇ t be developed by improving teacher vocational development.
