Three Subjects and Seven Duties Model:Empowering Informatization Teaching Ability of Pre-Service Teachers

By constructing a model,this study seeks to provide suggestions for strengthening pre-service teachers’informatization teaching ability.It aims to answer the following research questions:(1)What do the pre-service teachers know about informatization instruction?What is their level of informatization teaching ability?(2)What factors influence pre-service teachers’ability to deliver informatization instruction?How to overcome the obstacles?The inquiry focuses on the theoretical exploration of informatization teaching ability,questionnaire,and interview analysis on the current condition and improvement of pre-service teachers’informatization teaching ability.The data from the questionnaire and interview of the pre-service teachers were evaluated from three dimensions:awareness and attitude towards informatization teaching,knowledge of informatization teaching,and the ability to apply informatization teaching skills innovatively and comprehensively.The 3S-7D(Three Subjects and Seven Duties)model consisting of three subjects and the seven duties that go with them is established.The three subjects include pre-service teachers,teacher educators,and higher education schools.The seven duties involve pre-service teachers demonstrating learning motivation,cross-discipline thinking,and information and communications technology mastery;teacher educators actively constructing informatization teaching practice and formative assessment;and higher education schools providing adequate hardware and software equipment while offering cooperative opportunities with primary and junior schools through institutionalization.

Building and Application of the“Relay”Volunteer Teaching Model for Pre-service Teachers under“Internet Plus”

The educational practice of pre-service teachers is an essential part of teacher training.As an important form of educational practice,volunteer teaching can effectively improve the quality of teacher training and bridge the serving of basic education.Upon the literature review on existing volunteer teaching models,this paper develops a teaching community of teachers under“Internet Plus”and the prototype of a“relay”volunteer teaching model towards the integrated design of training undergraduate pre-teachers and improving the educational quality of small rural schools.The sound“relay”volunteer teaching model has been formed upon revisions around checking its completeness,optimizing its operability,and enhancing its stability using the design-based research paradigm according to the research path of“planning-application-reflection-improvement.”The practice has indicated positive effects of the new model in promoting the academic development of students in small rural schools,enhancing the classroom teaching competency of rural teachers,and improving the professionalism of pre-service teachers.The quality and efficiency of the new model can be improved through initiatives such as providing timely and efficient technical support,establishing a favorable and harmonious relationship between teachers and students,adopting guidance with double-qualified instructors for instant companionship,and implementing flexible incentives and restraints.
