导师中介与访学教师学习研究--社会文化理论视角

Supervisor Mediation and Visiting Scholar Learning--A Sociocultural Theory Perspective

本研究以社会文化理论为框架,采用历时个案研究方法,从两名访学教师的视角探讨导师辛老师指导的有效性。通过分析访谈、座谈记录、反思日志、访学叙事和微信聊天记录等数据,研究发现,辛老师对访学教师遵循读中学、思中学、观中学、做中学的指导理念;辛老师通过全方位的宏观指导和任务驱动的指导模式,逐步引领访学教师走上质性研究的轨道,在他们的学习中起到知识中介、认知中介、情感中介及实践中介的作用,指导效果超出访学教师预期。本研究为高校英语教师国内访学项目提供可借鉴的指导模式,并指出专家引领对访学教师专业发展的重要性。

Drawing on the sociocultural theory proposed by Vygotsky,this study,employing a longitudinal case study approach,examines the effectiveness of Supervisor Xin's guidance through the perspectives of two visiting scholars.Multiple sources of data were collected,including interviews,records of seminars between Supervisor Xin and visiting scholars,reflective journals,personal stories of two core study objects,and WeChat records.Data analysis shows that Supervisor Xin adopted the guiding philosophy of learning by reading,learning by reflecting,learning by observing,and learning by doing.Through her all-round and macro guidance,these visiting scholars stepped on the track of qualitative research gradually.During the process,Supervisor Xin played the roles of knowledge mediation,cognitive mediation,affective mediation and practice mediation.Supervisor Xin's guidance was beyond visiting scholars'expectations.This study offers a guiding model for foreign language teachers'domestic visiting programs,highlighting the significance of expert guidance to the professional development of visiting teachers.
