职初教师视角下数学师范生培养课程的实用性调查和需求分析--基于某师范大学的一项探索性研究

Utility and Demand Analysis of Preservice Secondary Mathematics Teacher Education Curriculum from the Perspective of Novice Teachers--An Exploratory Investigation

如何进行师范专业课程改革以适应教师专业化发展的需要是目前倍受关注的重要问题.从职初教师的立场出发,对其所经历的师范生培养课程进行实用性调查和需求分析能为该问题的解答提供来自一线实践者的观点.以毕业于某师范大学数学师范专业的185名职初数学教师为对象,以问卷加访谈的方式展开探索性调查,以期发现当前课程设置中存在的问题,为合理制定数学师范生培养课程方案提供建议.研究发现,这些职初数学教师认为数学类课程和数学教育类课程的实用性程度要明显高于一般教育类课程和公共课程;他们在数学教学知识、数学教学实践与技能、班级管理、大学数学与中学数学之间的联系、教师专业发展和学生心理学等方面提出了进一步的学习需求.数学师范生培养课程改革要关注课程结构的合理性,加强实践类课程建设,鼓励用教学案例联系教育理论和教学实践,加强班主任工作和学生心理学方面的课程设置,关注数学教师的“双重遗忘”现象,并充分认识教师专业的发展性要求.

How to carry out curriculum reform on preservice teacher education to meet the requirements of teacher professional development is an important current issue.One way to approach this issue is to survey new teachers who have just finished their teacher education program.This study investigated,via questionnaires and interviews,185 secondary mathematics teachers who had graduated from a prestigious normal university in 1 or 2 years.It was found that the novice teachers highly valued courses on mathematics content and mathematics education rather than courses on general education and common courses.They also indicated a desire to learn topics such as mathematics pedagogical content knowledge,mathematics teaching practices and skills,classroom management,connections between college mathematics and school mathematics,teacher professional development,and student psychology.Preservice teacher education programs should attend to the rationality of the course structure,strengthen the learning of practical knowledge in teaching,make connections between educational theory and teaching practices via teaching cases,enhance class-advisor and student psychology-related curriculum,deal with the phenomenon of“double discontinuity,”and focus on fully understanding the developmental requirements of the teaching profession.
