Based on a theory of organisational socialisation, this study aimed to investigate physical education teachers’ orientations towards teaching. These orientations were also compared with lesson objectives and the methods by which teachers coped with their school environments. Ten male physical education teachers were selected by a tertiary college teaching practice coordinator. Five were identified as innovators and five as custodial or non‐innovative teachers. Each teacher was interviewed at length by one of the two researchers. The results from this exploratory study indicated some support for the organisational theory in the career patterns of the innovative teachers significantly differed from the custodial physical educators. For examle, the custodial teachers had experienced very stable career histories and had showed little inclination for study leave or other substantive breaks from teaching. The analysis also indicated links between lesson objectives and coping behaviour; while the custodial teachers tended to adjust their ideas to match those of the schools, the innovators were more determined to change decisions or policies with which they disagreed. 相似文献

Given the high attrition rate of beginning science teachers, it is imperative to better prepare science preservice teachers,
so that they can be successful during the early years of their teaching. The purpose of this study was to explore science
preservice teachers’ views of themselves as a future teacher, in particular their hopes and fears for science teaching and
the experiences that help to shape their possible selves. Employed were qualitative methods, which included open-ended surveys
and face-to-face interviews. Eleven preservice teachers who enrolled in a secondary science teacher preparation program participated.
Findings showed six categories of future selves with the most frequent category being for effective/ineffective science teaching.
When their hoped-for and feared selves were not balanced, participants articulated more fears. Regarding the primary influence
in shaping their hopes and fears, diverse past experiences related to teaching and learning appeared to be more salient factors
than science teacher education program. Given the enriched understanding of the science preservice teachers’ perceptions,
we provided suggestions for science teacher educators. 相似文献

Career choice and retention of nineteen secondary science education graduates were studied using a biographical approach. Autobiographical papers written as preservice teachers and rewritten as career teachers were compared for intrinsic reasons for vocational choice. Comparisons were made between early vocation teachers and those who chose science teaching later in their higher education studies. Participants beginning college as science education majors wanted to teach for student learning and to shape their students' lives. Participants beginning college as science majors wanted to continue learning science while also enhancing their students' science literacy. Ten participants' data from both groups showed great similarities in self as teacher across autobiographical papers. Teaching for impact on students appeared to support retention in this study. Implications for development and potential retention of future science teachers are discussed. 相似文献

In recent years teacher educators have witnessed an increase in the number of alternative pathways to university‐based teacher education for prospective teachers. One option is for second‐career teachers to enter post‐baccalaureate programs in education; however, the experiences of second‐career teachers are largely unexplored in the international literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching beliefs that post‐baccalaureate students brought into a graduate level teacher certification program, and the extent to which those beliefs persevered or changed during their first year of teaching. Written philosophy statements and semi‐structured interviews from the three participants were analyzed to identify emerging themes. Outcomes, presented in the form of vignettes, suggested that second‐career teachers experienced many of the same contextual pressures as baccalaureate teachers and struggled adapting to the teaching profession and implementing their stated teaching beliefs. Implications include continued research on second‐career teachers as they represent a distinct population entering the teaching profession. 相似文献

Arguments regarding the need for reading skills in career and technical education exist, but far less attention has been given to teaching strategies that can help support vocational students’ growth as readers. Based on a review of literature, this article highlights the importance of reading literacy in career and technical education, and argues that students from the various content areas in vocational education can benefit greatly from teachers incorporating reading instruction into the curriculum. This article also provides educators with six powerful, practical strategies to use in classrooms to facilitate students’ reading comprehension. 相似文献

This study chronicled the professional journeys of two beginning science teachers. The focus of the research effort documents
what brought them to science teaching and investigated their resulting career paths. Data artifacts for this instrumental
case study approach included: interviews, written survey responses, personal communications and member checks. All data was
transcribed and coded into emergent categories using a constant comparative analysis approach. The findings indicated that
their decisions to enter and leave teaching were a complex mélange of issues that included career disposition, notions of
isolation, overarching culture of the school, and future possibilities. However, most striking was their re-entry into teaching
on a temporary basis after considerable time away from the classroom, which suggests that teachers develop a sense of agency
regarding their career decisions. This may require researchers to reconsider how we view teacher decision-making within the
context of teacher attrition and mobility. Implications for science teacher education indicate that some teachers may enter
the profession considering teaching to be a transition into a different career path. Secondary science teachers may perceive
multiple career options (beyond the classroom) based on their preparation and teaching experience. Further implications and
possibilities for science teacher education are discussed. 相似文献

In the context of teacher education, it could well be suggested that assessment activities that build on formative interactions between student teachers and teacher educators might offer new windows into better understanding teaching and learning. This paper presents findings from a study into a primary science teacher education initiative that seeks to build the foundations on which 24 primary science student teachers, through the use of formative assessment of their science teaching and learning, can begin developing their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). In the project, formative assessment consists of activities used by teacher educators to stimulate interactions, self- and peer-assessment in order to provide insights into how student teachers develop their PCK during a semester. Content Representations (CoRes), were used as a tool to unpack the student teachers’ approach to teaching a science topic and the reasons for that approach. The results indicate that the use of CoRes, together with subsequent self-assessment and formative interactions with teacher educators and peers, do have the potential for PCK development for student teachers. The results further highlight the need for developing reliable and valid tools for capturing and assessing student teachers’ PCK in pre-service teacher education. 相似文献

This paper discusses some of the issues arising from the first year of a longitudinal study into the career development of
science teachers. It deals with the influences on, and approaches to, teaching by first year science teachers. Eighteen science
graduates who had completed a Diploma in Education in 1990, were interviewed about their first year's teaching experiences.
The participants explored issues ranging from the influences on their approach to teaching, student learning, determinants
of a good lesson, the role of pre-service teacher training, and teaching as a career.

Many new science teachers are assigned to teach subjects in which they have not been prepared, a practice referred to as out‐of‐field (OOF) teaching. Teaching OOF has been shown to negatively influence instruction and constrain teachers’ development. In this study, we explored the extent to which new secondary science teachers were assigned OOF across their first 5 years. Analysis of this longitudinal data set indicated that these assignments were common. While new science teachers were assigned to teach a variety of subjects over their first 5 years of teaching, they were not assigned more or fewer OOF courses over time. Furthermore, results indicated that teachers in certain situations are more likely than others to be assigned to teach OOF. Even with federal legislation in the United States seeking to eliminate OOF teaching, a large portion of new secondary science teachers are assigned to teach science disciplines for which they are inadequately prepared. Based on the findings of this study, it is worth exploring policy avenues that eliminate OOF teaching. Policymakers, administrators, and teacher educators should seek to provide supports, such as science‐specific induction programs designed for new teachers who are assigned OOF, and science teacher educators should prepare prospective teachers to teach multiple science disciplines. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACTTo better understand the reasons underlying attrition and the teacher shortage, and to develop ways to attract and retain high-quality teachers in early childhood education, it is necessary to explore teacher motivation and commitment to teaching. Although previous research has investigated various aspects of teacher motivation and commitment to teaching, little attention has been paid to this in the context of early childhood teachers, especially early career teachers. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 12 early career, early childhood teachers in mainland China, this study aims to examine early career early childhood teachers’ motivation to teach and commitment to teaching in the Chinese context. Four distinct types of early career, early childhood educators were identified: committed passionate, committed compromiser, undecided, and uncommitted. Each of these had unique motives for teaching and different levels of commitment to kindergarten teaching in mainland China. The four types of early career early childhood teachers identified in this study demonstrate the diversity and complexity of teaching motivation and commitment to teaching in the field of early childhood education. The findings from this study can provide implications for policy-makers and teacher educators to enhance novice teachers’ motivation and commitment to teaching in the early childhood context. 相似文献

The pace of change in today's society means that there is an ongoing need for teachers to learn, have new knowledge and use new pedagogical approaches to meet the needs of their pupils. For many teachers, this requires redefining their identity as teachers and what ‘teaching’ means in 21st century learning environments. These changes also require teachers to be supported in learning to ‘teach’ in different ways that are relevant to their own individual needs and to the contexts in which they work throughout their career. In this article, it is argued that a more integrated and collaborative approach to teacher education is needed with better understanding of those who take up the roles of teacher educator across a teacher's career. With a particular emphasis on ‘teacher educators’ working in school to support teachers' career-long professional learning it is argued that currently many do not recognise themselves as teacher educators nor are they recognised by those they work with as teacher educators. Drawing on an empirical study carried out with mentors in schools in Scotland, it is suggested that these teacher educators may be ‘unrecognised’ and remain ‘hidden professionals’ because of the identities they construct for themselves, the values and priorities that they or others attach to their roles or because of the institutional structures and cultures in which they work. It is concluded that it will be difficult to recognise and value these ‘hidden teacher educators’ and the distinctive contribution they can make to teachers' career-long professional learning without further clarification by them and others of the roles and responsibilities they hold. 相似文献

Museum Experience — a Resource for Science Teacher Education 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In this study, the researcher included an extensive science museum experience for the pre-service secondary science teachers within a teaching methods course to enhance their learning to teach science. The extensive museum experience covered four aspects: the visit, discussion with museum educators, the development of lesson plans, and practising teaching in the science museum. Twenty-one pre-service science teachers attended this course. Qualitative methods were used for data collection and analysis. The data sources included field notes, reports, diaries, and interviews. The findings show that this course connecting museum resources and context had created a novel situation for pre-service science teachers to learn how to teach science. The discourses with the museum educators also provided them with innovations in education beyond the gains from traditional teacher education. Through developing and practising teaching activities, they improved their understanding of the meanings and effective ways to use museum resources in science teaching. Pre-service science teachers reported that getting feedback from peers and observing modeling teaching was helpful. This course provided an alternative way to view how scientific activities were developed for junior high students. In general, the use of museum settings provides a new profile of learning and teaching course for pre-service science teachers in Taiwan. Based on the findings, this study makes suggestions for those science teacher educators who would like to use science museum resources and contexts to nurture prospective science teachers. 相似文献

This paper presents the results of a case study involving 282 Taiwanese elementary science teachers at the elementary level.
These teachers provided responses to the science efficacy instrument (STEBI-A) and also provided personal data regarding how
their years of general (YTE) and science (YTS) teaching experience may have influenced student achievement in science. Researchers
used two multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to investigate the interaction and influence of YTE and YTS upon the personal
science teaching efficacy (PSTE) and science teaching outcome expectations (STOE) of these teachers. The results advocate
the position that the years of general teaching experience of elementary science teachers in Taiwan have a significantly greater
impact upon their personal science teaching efficacy and science teaching outcome expectations than years of teaching science.
This evidence calls into question whether Bandura and Tschannen-Moran’s view of teacher efficacy as both context and subject
matter specific at the elementary level can be applied to Taiwan elementary teachers who teach science. The results of this
study should benefit educators and policy-makers with respect to future elementary teacher education throughout Taiwan and
other developing nations.
