参与式教师培训的实践与反思

Participatory Teacher Training:Practice and Reflection

太上,不知有之……功成事遂,百姓皆曰: “我自然。”(译文:最好的领导人,人们甚至不知道他的存在……当工作做完了,任务完成了的时候八们会说:“这是我们自己完成的。”) ——《老子·十七章》 一个人能够对某个问题有所知的唯一办法是听不同的人对这个问题所提出的不同意见, 了解具有不同思维特点的人是如何使用不同的方法来探究这个问题的。所有有智慧的人都是通过这种途径获得其智慧的,人的智力的本质决定了只有这种方法才能使人变得聪明起来。 ——约翰·斯图尔特·密尔:《自由论》

In this article the author shares some of her thought based on her own personal practice about the basic principles and functions of participatory teacher training as well as some of the constraints and the corresponding strategies in organizing participatory teacher training.
