“目的适切性”:师范类专业认证何以促进教师教育课程质量观的转变

“Fitness for Purpose”: How the Accreditation of Teacher Education Programs Influences the View on Teacher Education Curricular Quality

教师教育课程质量观对教师教育课程起着统领性的作用,有什么样的教师教育课程质量观,就有什么样的教师教育课程。中国以往教师教育课程质量观是"知识本位"的质量观,虽有助于师范生夯实教育教学理论知识功底,但较少考虑师范生的教育实践,难以适应当前基础教育发展对教师能力的需求。师范类专业认证推动教师教育课程质量观向"目的适切性"发展。在这一质量观指导下,教师教育课程质量评价标准及其实践都将发生不同程度的变化。梳理师范类专业认证的相关政策文件,有助于深入理解教师教育课程质量观从"知识本位"向"目的适切性"转变的潜在趋势及其实践启示。

The view on teacher education curricular quality plays a leading role in the teacher education curriculum. The kind of view on the teacher education curricular quality determines the kind of teacher education curriculum. The view on teacher education curricular quality in China used to be “knowledge-based”. Although helpful for normal students to consolidate their theoretical knowledge of education and teaching,it seldom considers the educational practice of normal students and thus fails to adapt to the development of elementary education. The implementation of teacher education program accreditation promotes the development of teacher education curriculum quality toward“fitness for purpose”. Guided by this view,the standards for evaluating teacher education curricular quality and their practical application will change accordingly. Based on the relevant official documents of teacher education program accreditation,this research explores the potential shift of the view on teacher education curricular quality from being“knowledge-based”to“fitness for purpose”and its practical implications.
