A CD-ROM consisting of videos of two lessons by different teachers demonstrating exemplary science teaching was used to elicit,
develop and track the changing conceptions of good science teaching of student teachers enrolled for the one-year Postgraduate
Diploma in Education (PGDE) at several stages during the programme. It was found that the videos acted as an effective probe
to elicit student teachers’ conceptions and had significant impact on those conceptions at different stages of the programme
through the provision of teacher models demonstrating exemplary teaching. The experience has extended novice teachers’ awareness
of alternative teaching methods and approaches not experienced in their own schooling, broadened their awareness of different
classroom situations, provided proof of existence of good practices and prompted them to reflect on their current conceptions
of good science teaching. Most importantly, the strategy of asking student teachers to watch the same videos on three separate
occasions at different times of the course was recognized by them as a crucial element in facilitating their reflection on
their changing conceptions of good science teaching.
PGDE is the standard form of pre-service teacher education in Hong Kong. It provides qualified teacher status within Hong
Kong. Student teachers enrolled for the PGDE have completed a relevant undergraduate degree. 相似文献

This article presents practical perspectives on mathematics teacher change through results of collaborative research with
two mathematics secondary school teachers in order to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics in Rwanda. The 2006
national mathematics curriculum reform stresses pedagogies that enhance problem-solving, critical thinking and argumentation.
Teachers need to use new teaching strategies. This article is a case study looking at issues around developing teachers’ use
of interactions in mathematics classrooms independently of the national programme. Outputs of the study include teachers’
awareness of the need for change and their increased flexibility to accept learners’ autonomy in shifting from teacher-centred
to learner-centred pedagogy. Geometer’s Sketchpad challenged teachers’ practice and then provoked reflection to improve student
learning. 相似文献

This article reports on a study of Pacific primary school teachers’ and university lecturers’ reflections on their involvement
in the in-service Bachelor of Education degree programme offered at the regional University of the South Pacific (USP) in
Fiji. Two rich sets of data have emerged from this study. Firstly, there are a number of critical reflections by ourselves
as teacher educators concerning levels of equitable student access and participation in our degree as it is reconceptualised
for distance and flexible delivery to increase levels of teacher professionalism across the Pacific region. Secondly, there
has emerged a set of statements from teachers themselves about: teaching and learning; professional development opportunities;
and what it means to be a professional educator in the Pacific region. This later data suggests an alternative set of voices
in what has largely been a “conversation between us about them” conducted by Ministries of Education, Curriculum Development
Units, USP, other educational bodies and the media in the Pacific, but particularly Fiji, about teachers and teachers’ work.
Critical reflection upon our own practice as teacher educators and the voices of experienced teachers are particularly pertinent
not only as we seek to reshape a degree programme to suit the needs of the region’s primary school teachers but also as “rethinking”
debates about the purposes of education in the Pacific region are on-going yet exclusive. 相似文献

教师专业化的过程是一个在特定社会、文化和历史脉络中社会建构的过程。英国资产阶级的需要推动了教学职业的专业化,也为教师自治组织的发展提供了空间;法国的教师专业化过程则是教育体制纳入国家科层的过程,国家控制了教师的培训机构、内容以及教师组织。这两种不同的社会现实的构建是两国不同脉络下不同利益群体之间互动的产物。文章认为追求教师专业化应充分考虑本国已有的社会脉络和教育文化传统,也应注重教师和其他利益相关者之间的沟通,倾听不同的声音。 相似文献

One strategy for implementing learner-centered teaching is through the preparation of teachers and their induction into the
profession. This article presents case studies of three secondary science teachers that follow them from their science teacher
education program that advocated teaching for conceptual change as one approach to learner-centered teaching into their first
years of teaching. The article’s purpose is to describe the teachers’ initial conceptions of teaching science carried over
from their teacher preparation program, and how they integrated those conceptions with the environmental influences of their
classrooms and schools to produce praxis. Data were collected from the participants in several different ways during the participants’
pre-service year and during their first year or two of teaching: Observation of the participants’ teaching; related interviews
with participants; and their action research journals. As they approached the end of their first or second year of teaching,
all three teachers demonstrated increased levels of confidence in their teaching competence, both in their classroom performance
and their places in their departments and schools. None of them had, however, fully implemented conceptual change teaching
approach that was the specific goal of their teacher preparation program. 相似文献

Hong Kong education has always been regarded as examination-oriented and students were taught only to memorize and not to
think. This paper gives an account of a school project in teaching critical thinking in the junior classes of a secondary
school. This project is a collaboration between lecturers in teacher education and teachers working in the frontline. As a
first attempt, the topic “fact and opinion” was chosen. In this paper, both the teaching approach and the teaching materials
used are presented. Teachers ’ feedback was obtained through informal sharing of information and student ’s evaluation were
obtained through a simple student survey. Through this process, a number of problems and insights related to this issue were
revealed. This experience had implications for ways in which critical thinking in a cultural context like Hong Kong where
memorization of facts is the norm can be developed and promoted. 相似文献

Hong Kong has been actively promoting a student-centered approach to teaching since the 1980s. Despite this effort, students
in Hong Kong still tend to be traditional learners who rarely experience and gain from real student-centered learning. While
teachers hold a “quantitative” concept of learning and focus on transmitting declarative knowledge to students (Biggs and
Watkins, Classroom learning: Educational psychology for the Asian teacher, 1995), students generally practise “rote learning.” Constructive learning models such as inquiry remain little used by students
in most Hong Kong classrooms. This article reports a study that examines the feasibility of implementing inquiry method in
Kong Kong’s primary classrooms. It analyses the implementation and some outcomes of an inquiry-based project conducted in
two local primary schools—a traditional elite Catholic school and a progressive, less-privileged school. Finally, it discusses
the contextual factors as well as cultural issues on teachers’ perception and implementation of inquiry in teaching. These
factors include the following: impacts of prevailing ideology in the community of Hong Kong, and the top-down policy-making
and management by the government.

《Educational research; a review for teachers and all concerned with progress in education》2012,54(2):199-211
Background:?Hong Kong is currently a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It has autonomy over many policy areas, including finance and education. It is a community of seven million people, which has changed its focus and identity significantly over the last 25 years, from predominantly manufacturing to a service and knowledge economy with particular strengths in financial services. Purpose:?This paper will consider the market for teacher education places and the market for teachers, and explore the career intention and commitment implications of high numbers of well qualified applicants applying for teaching in the context of reduced work opportunities elsewhere, an increasing higher education focus on intake scores and the challenge, for the teaching profession and the education system, of teaching becoming less secure work. Sources of evidence:?Governmental and institutional publications and data, along with research and survey findings, together with comparative literature underpin the reactions to past, present and possible future effects on teacher education in Hong Kong. Main argument:?Given its financial focus, Hong Kong would be expected to suffer significantly during the recent financial crisis and that this would impact across all its sectors including Education and Teacher Education. In addition to the financial crisis, other changes have affected teacher education in Hong Kong, including major reforms in curriculum and school and higher education structure and a significantly diminished birth rate reducing posts in teaching, and raising concerns about job security. Conclusions:?Hong Kong is a very prudently managed economy with substantial reserves and a commitment to ‘small government’ and the impact has been different from many other systems. Places on teacher education programmes remained unchanged. Applications for teacher education programmes however increased significantly during the crisis. 相似文献

This article discusses theoretical assumptions either explicitly stated or implied in research on teachers’ beliefs. Such
research often assumes teachers can easily articulate their beliefs and that there is a one-to-one correspondence between
what teachers state and what researchers think those statements mean. Research conducted under this paradigm often reports
inconsistencies between teachers’ beliefs and their actions. This article describes an alternative framework for conceptualizing
teachers’ beliefs that views teachers as inherently sensible rather than inconsistent beings. Instead of viewing teachers’
beliefs as inconsistent, teachers’ abilities to articulate their beliefs as well as researchers’ interpretations of those
beliefs are seen as problematic. Implications of such a view for research on teacher beliefs as well as for the practice of
mathematics teacher education are discussed.
This article is based on the author’s doctoral dissertation completed at the University of Georgia under the direction of
Thomas J. Cooney. Parts of this article were presented at the 2004 meeting of the North American Chapter of the International

This paper investigates the views of immersion teachers in Hong Kong and Xi’an towards the immersion curriculum they are teaching.
Teachers are important stakeholders in any curriculum implementation and their views are significant in both evaluating progress
and determining future directions. The teachers’ views were gathered from questionnaires and interviews. Topics include their
understanding of the objectives of immersion education, their preparedness for their roles as immersion teachers, the main
challenges in immersion teaching they identify and the support they receive from their schools. The responses are discussed
to identify areas of concern which may be future priorities for professional development. 相似文献

Influenced by work on learner-centred education, teacher efficacy and teachers’ concerns, we conducted an investigation of
the influence of 185 preservice teachers’ teacher efficacy and concerns on their learner-centred beliefs. Learner-centred
beliefs were selected for the purposes of this study as the best indicator of future teaching actions because these preservice
teachers had not yet entered the classroom or engaged in teaching practices. Preservice teacher efficacy and concerns, individually
and collectively, significantly influenced learner-centred beliefs. These findings indicate that teacher education can facilitate
the development of learner-centred beliefs by addressing these trainable characteristics and demonstrate the need to further
explore both teacher efficacy and concerns as they relate to learner-centred education within teacher education programs. 相似文献

Many university faculties of education across Australia employ a model of internship for final semester pre-service teacher
education students to help them make a smooth transition into the teaching profession. While a growing body of research has
explored pre-service teachers’ experiences of their practicum, including the internship, which is the final professional experience
within a course of study, very little work has considered micropolitics as a lens through which to interpret interns’ relationships
with their school supervisors/mentors. This paper uses a micropolitical framework to interpret reflective reports written
by 145 Bachelor of Education (primary) interns who recorded their perceptions of their professional learning experience within
the context of a relationship with their school-based mentors. Several key themes are identified that highlight interns’ reports
of a range of micropolitical strategies at play. The paper concludes by raising a number of implications for universities
and schools regarding how better to facilitate interns’ transition into the profession. 相似文献

This paper reports on a study of elementary preservice teachers’ inquiry-based practices, their efficacy beliefs, and the
role beliefs had on two preservice teachers’ practices in urban classrooms. Results show inquiry-based practices can be cultivated
through field-based experiences and preservice teachers’ efficacy beliefs, as it relates to practice in urban settings, are
malleable. Specifically, personal efficacy beliefs about teaching science improved or were sustained for one cohort of preservice
teachers. However, beliefs about students’ ability to learn science, that is outcome beliefs, were less stable. The results
of two case studies show that science content knowledge was a factor in preservice teachers’ inquiry-based practices. However,
why preservice teachers’ beliefs about student learning declined is less clear. More research is needed, along with follow-up
data on teacher induction, to learn how preservice teachers’ beliefs impact urban students’ science education. 相似文献

This collective case study reports on an investigation into the relationship between mathematics teachers’ beliefs and their
classroom practices, namely, how they organized their classroom activities, interacted with their students, and assessed their
students’ learning. Additionally, the study examined the pervasiveness of their beliefs in the face of efforts to incorporate
reform-oriented classroom materials and instructional strategies. The participants were five high school teachers of ninth-grade
algebra at different stages in their teaching career. The qualitative analysis of the data revealed that in general beliefs
were very influential on the teachers’ daily pedagogical decisions and that their beliefs about the nature of mathematics
served as a primary source of their beliefs about pedagogy and student learning. Findings from the analysis concur with previous
studies in this area that reveal a clear relationship between these constructs. In addition, the results provide useful insights
for the mathematics education community as it shows the diversity among the inservice teachers’ beliefs (presented as hypothesized
belief models), the role and influence of beliefs about the nature of mathematics on the belief structure and how the teachers
designed their instructional practices to reflect these beliefs. The article concludes with a discussion of implications of
teacher education. 相似文献

All changes of the character of education and improvement of its quality depend, in our view, particularly on the teacher.
To be able to do their work efficiently, teachers have to be equipped with professional skills and dispositions, with “teachers’
competence”. For their professional growth, we consider indispensable competence in reflection, which is aimed at the teacher’s
activities with regard to aspects of pedagogy and/or subject-didactics. From the point of view of the goals and content of
their teaching and the methods of work (and their realisation), the development of teachers’ conscious self-reflection on
their own teaching and systematic pursuance of joint reflection with other teachers and/or researchers can promote the teacher’s
professional growth. In this paper, we show how a selected group of elementary school teachers reflected on their competence
in the course of preparing, carrying out and analysing several instruction experiments. The paper is based on samples of teachers’
reflections and their gradual development from mere simple conversations based on intuitive perceptions, through searching
for effective teaching approaches, to the deep assessment of mathematics teaching from the point of view of topics and their
didactic elaboration and to suggestions for the teachers’ own experiments.
May the teacher know what he teaches.
May the teacher know how to teach.
May the teacher be sincerely interested in teaching.

Every aspect of teaching, including the instructional method, the course content, and the types of assessments, is influenced
by teachers’ attitudes and beliefs. Teacher education programs play an important role in the development of beliefs regarding
teaching and learning. The purpose of the study was to document pre-service teachers’ views on science, scientists, and science
teaching as well as the relations between these views and the offered courses over several years spent in an elementary science
teacher training program. The sample consisted of 145 pre-service elementary science teachers who were being trained to teach
general science to students in the 6th through 8th grades. The research design was a cross-sectional study. Three different
instruments were used to collect the data, namely, the “Draw a Scientist Test”, “Draw a Science Teacher Test”, and “Students’
Views about Science” tests. The elementary science teacher training program influenced pre-service science teachers’ views
about science, scientists and science teaching to different degrees. The most pronounced impact of the program was on views
about science teaching. Participants’ impressions of science teaching changed from teacher-centered views to student-centered
ones. In contrast, participants’ views about scientists and science did not change much. This result could be interpreted
as indicating that science teacher training programs do not change views about science and scientists but do change beliefs
regarding teaching science. 相似文献
