Action Research——the Way to Enhancing Teacher Professional Development

This paper introduces the notion of action research in its international academic context. Action research is potentially beneficial to both pre-service teachers and in-service teachers in their professional development and it should play an important role in the curriculum renewal of English teaching methodology in China.

Incorporating the Reflective Approach into Teacher Professional Development

There exists an increasing tendency in the ELT field that the teaching is referred as a profession. In our context, being professional means being the effective teacher, which is required to develop continuously throughout the whole career. Teacher professional development, in this article, mainly the issue of teacher professional self-development is discussed. In order for that to be realized, the reflective approach is bring introduced. Here, the reflective approach is primarily based on doing Action Research that includes Rettospective technique, Observation technique, Questionnaires and Interviews and Case Study.

Teacher Professional Development Approach: Action Research

Theory and practice, researchers and practitioners are usually isolated in traditional education research, so much so that the research results can not solve the problems that teachers encounter in their teaching practice. As a new mode, action research provides a bridge linking theory and teaching practice as well as a way to promote teacher development.

The Role of Teacher Professional Development in Improving Teaching Quality and Student Learning Outcomes

This study investigates the impact of Teacher Professional Development(TPD)on teaching quality and student learning outcomes.Utilizing a mixed-methods approach,the research draws on quantitative data from standardized test scores and qualitative insights from teacher interviews and classroom observations.The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between TPD,as measured by self-assessment and peer evaluation,and improvements in teaching practices.These enhancements in teaching quality are further shown to have a significant impact on student learning outcomes,including academic achievement,critical thinking,and engagement.The study also presents case studies that highlight the transformative potential of TPD in various educational contexts.Limitations include the generalizability of the sample and the correlational nature of the study design.The research concludes with policy implications,emphasizing the need for increased investment in TPD,customization of TPD programs,and the promotion of a collaborative culture within schools.Future research directions are suggested to further explore the long-term effects of TPD and the most effective models for professional development.

An Interview-Based Study of the Factors Influencing the Quality of Professional Training of Science Education Graduates

The proposal of the strategy of developing the country through science education has clarified China’s demand for the development of the science and education industry and the cultivation of science and education talents,and the birth of Science Education majors is an important link in the cultivation of scientific literacy.Based on the grounded theory,we interviewed three Science Education graduates from a university and coded the interview data by using NVivo 12.0 to find eight important factors affecting their professional training and employment choices.The factors are“social factors,”“individual career choice factors,”“campus resources,”“employment advantages,”“professional self-development,”“teacher factors,”“planning for further education and employment,”and“student motivation.”This study analyzes the interaction between the influencing factors,constructs a theoretical model of the influencing factors of the quality of Science Education professional training,explores the problems of the training process of Science Education majors and employment dilemmas,and puts forward corresponding suggestions.

Professional Learning Communities(PLCs)of Chemistry Teachers

The models of Professional Learning Communities(PLCs)are based on principles of learning that emphasize the co-construction of knowledge by learners,who in this case are the teachers themselves.Teachers in a PLC meet regularly to explore their practices and the learning outcomes of their students,analyze their teaching and their students’learning processes,draw conclusions,and make changes in order to improve their teaching and the learning of their students.It was found that participation in a PLC influences teaching practice,so teachers become more student-centered.Moreover,the teaching culture improves as the community increases the degree of cooperation among teachers,and focuses on the processes of learning rather than the accumulation of knowledge.This enables students to be innovative,creative,and critical.In addition,trust is developed among the participants,which enables them to discuss and analyze their students’cognitive and affective problems,misconceptions,and learning outcomes.

基层教学组织是高校最基础的组成单元,在提升教师教学能力、确保人才培养质量方面发挥着积极作用。近年来,受职能模糊、功能失位的影响,基层教学组织发展进入低谷期,完善和创新基层教学组织的呼声日益高涨。新文科背景下,基层教学组织必将承载更厚重的使命、需要挖掘更具时代性与大局观的职能。对我国高校基层教学组织的发展历史进行回顾,分析新文科背景下高校基层教学组织的定位和功能,进一步从建设原则、建设理念、建设内容和建设评价四个方面提出基层教学组织高效建设的对策建议。

“双循环”新发展格局下重塑高职院校专业教师团队评价范式

专业教师团队评价作为高职院校高质量发展的关键动能,既是提高职业教育实效的重要抓手,也是满足“双循环”新发展格局下高素质师资力量需求的有效途径。结合我国高职院校专业教师团队评价标准固定、方法简单、流程不畅、顶层缺位的现状,提出从“一元”转向“多维”,以重构标准为着力点;从“控制”转向“融合”,以拓展方式为关键点;从“鉴定”转向“引领”,以优化流程为突破点;从“强势”转向“现代”,以延伸主体为切入点。具体实践中,应着眼于政府外控,推行“双向”管评模式;立足于社会支持,发挥“三维”话语功能;根植于教师内驱力,构建“四频”能力框架;发端于院校设计,创设五项增值环境,以“自上而下”闭环评价系统赋能专业教师团队评价功能提升。

人文取向的当代西方教师情感研究

人文取向的教师情感研究关注教师作为一个整全的人的发展,强调教师发展的主体性和精神性特质。通过对已有文献的综述,发现人文取向的教师情感研究汲取心理学、社会学等不同学科的研究成果,但这一取向主要关注教师职业所内含的主体状态和精神性,常常通过隐喻等方式展开对教师精神内涵的可能性想象。同时,这一取向认为教师的精神是在日常教学饱含情感的实践中生发的,教师全身心投入的教学实践体现了具身的审美性。在研究方法上,人文取向的教师情感研究常通过叙事、传记等形式展开,在研究路径上强调研究者的“亲证”立场。

新生代乡村教师专业发展的文化自觉

教师专业发展是新生代乡村教师“留得住”的内源式路径,乡土文化是新生代乡村教师专业发展的源动力。新生代乡村教师增强乡村教学生活适应性,提升自身专业发展,须保持必要的文化自觉。“乡里人”身份认同、“潮土共生”的理性自觉以及“回乡为农”的实践自觉是新生代乡村教师文化自觉的内在意蕴。新生代乡村教师专业发展面临着乡土身份迷失、乡土素养匮乏和学校文化落伍等诸多文化困境。通过重塑新生代乡村教师身份认同、聚焦新生代乡村教师专业发展特质、变革乡村学校的学校文化,以提高新生代乡村教师专业发展的内生动力、乡土素养以及乡村文化振兴参与度,成为新生代乡村教师专业发展文化自觉的突围路径。

新乡贤:新时代乡村教师专业发展的有效路径

乡村教师成为新乡贤,是乡村振兴背景下国家在政策层面对乡村教师的角色期待。当前乡村教师专业发展面临着一些困境:乡村教师公共性缺失、价值理性被遮蔽、发展脱离乡土情境。为了破解这些困境,研究指出乡村教师担当新乡贤角色是促进专业发展的一条有效路径,论证新乡贤角色与乡村教师专业发展的内在联系,揭示新乡贤角色影响专业发展的机制,为乡村教师担当新乡贤角色提供学理基础。为了激励乡村教师认同并担当新乡贤角色,需要从环境创设、制度建立、个体主动性发挥三个方面采取措施,使新乡贤自然成为乡村教师专业发展的追求目标。

新教师专业核心素养的要素与发展研究

新教师阶段是教师专业发展的关键阶段,该阶段直接关系教师未来发展的成就乃至整个教师职业生涯的幸福度。对应新教师专业素养的三维内在结构,存在三个现实困惑,即因职业内在价值认知不足而产生困惑,因能力和经验欠缺不足以解决教学实践问题而产生困惑,以及因自主性动力缺失而产生困惑。为走出上述困境,新教师要自觉地以“四有好老师”和“引路人”为价值引领,培育职业价值认同;要在教育教学实践中培养过硬的“基本素质”,提升教育教学能力;要有争做教育家的内在精神追求,强化专业发展内生动力,进而全方位促进新时代教师队伍的高质量发展。

新课标背景下中小学体育教师专业化发展的困境与纾解——基于行动者网络理论

中小学体育教师专业化发展是义务教育阶段学校体育高质量发展的必然选择。本文采用文献资料法、逻辑分析法等研究方法,基于行动者网络理论,以转译过程的4个核心要素(问题呈现、利益赋予、充分征召、积极动员)为分析框架,对新课标背景下中小学体育教师专业化发展困境与纾解路径进行探究。研究发现:“新课标”背景下中小学体育教师专业化发展面临各方行动者认同感不高、趋利性博弈、机制不健全、行动力不足等困境,致使“新课标”执行落地缓慢、建设实效不强。据此提出纾解路径:强化行动者自身认同感,激发专业化发展的自觉性行动;夯实利益共同体意识,维持专业化发展赓续性跃迁;打造多元协同培养机制,促进专业化发展全要素参与;不断突显核心行动者,支持专业化发展持续性推进。
