以数据驱动教师减负政策完善:英国中小学教师工作量监测

Motivating and Improving the Teacher Burden Reduction Policies by Data:Monitoring Workloads of Primary and Secondary School Teachers in the UK

工作量是体现教师工作负担的指标。解决工作负担问题,就要对中小学教师工作量进行监测。作为较早重视中小学教师工作量的国家,英国政府依托政、校、社多元主体,围绕工作时长、个体感受和效能提升,对教师工作量展开持续、系统的调研,在数据驱动中实现了教师减负政策的持续完善。当前,我国正处于“双减”政策持续推进期,“双减”对课堂教学、课后服务等提出的高要求,使中小学教师面临着工作负担加重的风险。如何减轻教师负担,已成为“双减”政策实施中亟需解决的一个问题。英国教师工作量的监测经验,对我国完善教师工作量监测体系,精准识别教师工作量状况,制定有针对性的中小学教师减负政策具有重要启示。

Workload is an indicator reflecting the burden on teachers.To address the issue of workload,it is necessary to monitor the workload of primary and secondary school teachers.As a country that has attached importance to the workload of teachers for along time,the UK government has relied on the multiple bodies of government,schools and society to conduct continuous and systematic research on teachers'workload,focusing on working hours,individual perceptions,and efficacy improvement.Through data-driven approaches,it has achieved sustained improvements in teacher workload reduction policies.Currently,China is in a period of continuous advancement of the"Double Reduction"policy,which places high demands on classroom teaching and after-school services,posing a risk of increased workload for primary and secondary school teachers.Alleviating teacher burdens has become an urgent issue in the implementation of the"Double Reduction"policy.The UK’s experience in monitoring teacher workload provides important insights for China to improve the teacher workload monitoring system,accurately identify the workload status of teachers,and formulate targeted workload reduction policies for primary and secondary school teachers.
