课堂学习研究:教师专业发展的平台

The Learning Study:A Platform for Teachers' Professional Eevelopment

教育改革成功的关键在于教师专业能力的发展与提升。"课堂学习研究"是香港教育学院推动的具有特色的教师专业发展项目。该项目以改善课堂教学质量为核心,通过大学研究人员与教师的协作,在校本行动研究的基础上提供教师反思及再实践的机会,为教师持续的专业发展搭建了一个可操作的平台。本文检视了在"课堂学习研究"的实践过程中,教师如何从与不同成员的互动中得到学习的机会,实现自身的专业发展。

The success and failure of educational reforms hinges on the professional capability of teachers. The Learning Study developed by the Hong Kong Institute of Education has proved to he an effective means of supporting teachers＂ professional development. The Learning Study has the improvement of teaching and learning at its core. Through close school-university collaboration, teachers are supported by researchers to engage in school-based action research to reflect on their practice, and to building a platform for continuous professional development. This paper examines the opportunities to learn offered to teachers during the process of the Learning Study, as they interacted with participants in the learning community, including their own students, their colleagues, teachers from the school community and the researchers. The Learning Study has a well constructed theoretical framework which has been tested and improved over a period of seven years with over 260 Learning Studies. It has gained enormous support from the school community, and has contributed to a common language for lesson planning, observation and analysis in a large number of schools.
