Relationship of Workaholism with Stress and Job Burnout of Elementary School Teachers

Teachers voluntarily devote a lot of time to their vocational activates. This can lead to workaholism and may result in stress and job burnout. The main objective of the current study is to examine the relationship of workaholism with stress and job burnout of elementary school teachers in Zahedan. This is a descriptive-correlational study. The sample includes 350 elementary school teachers in Zahedan whom are selected through applying stratified random sampling method and are examined using questionnaires on workaholism, occupational stress, and job burnout. To analyze the obtained data, correlation coefficient and simultaneous multiple regression analysis are applied using SPSS21. Teachers’ mean scores on workaholism, stress and job burnout are higher than the considered theoretical mean. Workaholism and its components (feeling of being driven to work, work involvement, and work enjoyment) are significantly and positively related to job burnout and occupational stress (p ). The results of simultaneous multiple regression analysis indicate that components of workaholism can predict teachers’ occupational stress and job burnout (p ). Considering the results, holding training courses for teachers to become familiar with the phenomena of workaholism, stress, and job burnout, individual and organizational outcomes, methods of dealing with them and managing them effectively is highly recommended.

论小学教师的性别素养——基于小学教育中性别现象的思考

我国小学教育中广泛存在着两种性别现象,一种是反映在教育教学中的性别差异现象,一种是小学女教师偏多的性别失衡现象。本研究通过揭示小学教育中客观存在的性别现象,超越生物本质视角与社会建构视角,回到教育自身来认识小学教育中的性别问题。基于此,本研究在小学教师专业伦理视域下提出小学教师应具备一定的性别素养,立足小学生的“向善性”、小学教师的“示范性”、小学教育的“发展性”,小学教师在教书育人的过程中应遵从性别敏感、性别公正、性别友好三项伦理原则。小学教师性别素养的伦理原则及教育价值可以帮助师生基于性别存在又超越性别存在,不断趋向教育之终极善,即“培养完整的人”这一育人目标。

教师职责和职业能力的动态耦合结构模型建构——基于中小学教师角色隐喻的分析

教师为了履行时代赋予的更多职责,必须发展与之对应的职业能力。通过分析在职中小学教师角色隐喻,揭示教师的职责与职业能力的特点与关系。结果发现,教师的职责包括结果性、过程性与指向教师终生发展的职责;教师感知的职业能力包括基础能力、方法能力、专业能力和社会情感能力;教师职业能力未能满足教师履行职责的需求。据此,以教师感知的职责为核心,完善了教师职业能力的结构,为职责导向的职业能力理论提供了实证依据。

小学教师心理健康问题的特点、影响因素与发展趋势

小学教师担负着义务教育早期阶段的关键责任,深入了解其心理健康状况至关重要。本研究采用横断历史分析、线性回归模型和自回归综合移动平均模型等方法,对1998年至2020年间小学教师心理健康问题的特点、影响因素进行了系统性探讨,并预测了其未来走向。研究结果表明:①小学教师心理健康问题总体上有轻微下降趋势,并展现出性别与区域差异;②教育(小学数量、教师数量)、经济(人民币汇率)、社会人口(自然增长率)和网络技术(网民规模、国家科学技术进步奖)等宏观因素对小学教师的心理健康状况具有一定影响;③基于以往的变化历程,小学教师的心理健康问题可能会在未来五年内维持在较高水平。未来心理健康研究应明晰小学教师心理健康的变迁历程及特点,制定针对性的干预项目。心理健康服务应注重心理健康的宏观影响因素,构建多维度、多层次的服务体系。心理健康政策应具有前瞻性,预先考虑心理健康问题的发展趋势及应对策略。

理想与现实:中小学教师身份困境与纾解——基于课程改革的视角

中小学教师是基础教育课程改革的重要参与者和推动者。新一轮课程改革为中小学教师提供了更多的身份发展空间,成为一名专业者、独立者和批判者是课程改革对教师理想身份的诉求和期待。但当教师往这些方向努力迈进时,他们面临着诸如专业化风险、经济独立和功绩主义的压力、极端批判方式等一系列挑战,如何协调好理想身份和现实条件之间的关系是纾解课程改革中教师身份困境的核心要义。因此,中小学教师需要做到恢复公共属性,追求“业余的”专业化;在满足基本经济保障的情况下,实现思想的独立性;理解批判的底层逻辑,积极进行技术性批判。

“沉默的螺旋理论”视域下小学生课堂沉默诱因及纾解

小学生课堂沉默与师生之间有效性的对话形成的价值悖论内嵌于小学课堂中,教师的“言论权威”使得一个对话的课堂变成演说型课堂,学生群体中“关键人物”的施压使得小学生沦为“沉默的羔羊”,课堂场下隐匿的主体间规则让师生之间局限性对话关系变得愈加坚固。教师、学生、课堂、学校相互牵制下衍生出的小学生课堂沉默现象一直是小学课堂易出现的问题,小学生课堂活动参与度不高对教学效果产生严重的负面影响。小学生课堂沉默不仅是一种个体选择参与课堂的方式,也是一种教师、学生、课堂和学校社会关联的结果。基于“沉默的螺旋”理论思考,深度剖析小学生课堂“失语行为”,构建积极课堂“主流气候”,掌控小学生课堂舆论导向,为小学生课堂沉默现象提供切实可行的破冰“解旋”之策。

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.

Chinese Upper Elementary School Mathematics Teachers’Attitudes towards the Place and Value of Problematic Word Problems in Mathematics Education

Word problems play a crucial role in mathematics education.However,the authenticity of word problems is quite controversial.In terms of the necessity of realistic considerations to be taken into account in the solution process,word problems have been classified into two categories:standard word problems(S-items)and problematic word problems(P-items).S-items refer to those problems involving the straightforward application of one or more arithmetical operations with the given numbers,whereas P-items call for the use of real-world knowledge and real-life experience in the problem-solving process.This study aims to explore how Chinese upper elementary school mathematics teachers think of the place and value of P-items in the elementary mathematics curriculum.
