教学研究素养:建设可持续发展的华文师资队伍的重要因素

Researcher-minded Quality: A Key Factor to Maintaining a Self-sustained Team of Practitioners in Overseas Chinese Education

“教师作为研究者”已经成为当代教育中广为人们所接受的观念。华文教师,通过积极参与“行动研究”,置身于自己的教学环境中,善于发现问题、思考问题、解决问题,对于提高教学效果,促进教师自身素质的提高是大有裨益的。为实现华文教育师资队伍建设的可持续发展,身处华文教学一线的教师们应当增强积极投身教学科研活动的意识,这是华文教师基本素质的体现,也是加强海外华文教育师资队伍建设,形成其自身造血能力的客观需要。

＂ Teacher as researcher＂ has become a widely accepted concept in modem education. Practitioners involved in overseas Chinese education should actively develop their own professional qualifications by way of ＂action research＂, in which language teachers may improve their skills in teaching by taking advantage of their close encounter of the teaching environment and developing sensitivity to discovering, pondering and solving practical problems in teaching and learning. To meet the growing needs of qualified teachers tor overseas Chinese education, practitioners in the field should enhance their awareness of the necessity of involving themselves in educational research activities. Researcher-mindedness should be considered as one of the basic qualities for overseas Chinese teachers. It is indispensable for sustainable development of a teaching force for overseas Chinese education.
