高校女性专家型外语教师专业发展轨迹可视化研究

A Visual Analysis of the Trajectory of Female Expert FL Teachers’Professional Development at Tertiary Level

本研究以两位有代表性的女性专家型外语教师作为研究对象,将她们的科研发表成果建成微型数据库,回溯她们的专业发展路径。通过CiteSpace可视化分析,发现两位女性专家型外语教师在科研论文数量和质量两方面皆有引领示范作用,且呈现出阶段性和延续性的特征。为了探究她们专业发展的动因,本研究进一步以两位女性专家型外语教师公开发表的自叙和访谈为研究素材,基于Clarke和Hollingsworth(2002)的教师发展模型分析数据,发现她们的专业能力发展可归因为外因和内因。外因包括同行、学校和社会环境的影响,内因包含主观能动性、反思意识和创新精神。本研究旨在帮助高校女性外语教师更好地定位自身角色,突破职业高原期,成长为专家型外语教师。

The study takes two representative female expert FL teachers as the research subjects and establishes a mini-database of their publications to investigate retrospectively the trajectory of their professional development.By applying CiteSpace to conduct a visual analysis of their publications,it is revealed that the two female expert FL teachers play a leading and exemplary role in terms of both quantity and quality of academic publications,which are characterized by periodicity and continuity.To explore the motivation of their professional development,the study further employs the two female expert FL teachers’published autobiographies and interviews as research data.By adopting Clarke&Hollingsworth’s model(2002)of professional development of teachers,it is found that their professional development can be both attributed to external and internal factors.External factors encompass influences from peers,university administration and social environment,while internal factors include autonomous initiative,reflective awareness and innovative spirit.The research aims to help female FL university teachers to better position themselves,break through the professional plateau,and advance into expert FL teachers.
