The Use of Reflective Journals in Initial Teacher Training   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Frances Harland  Debra Myhill 《English in Education》1997,31(1):4-11

The intention of this article is to examine the role of reflective journals in Initial Teacher Training courses, and, in particular, how they can enable students to develop critical independence for professional self-appraisal. It explores the value of journal writing in the process of learning about teaching by reproducing an edited extract of one PGCE (Post-Graduate Certificate in Education) student's course journal, and by offering both a student's and a tutor's perspective of the significance of the journal.  相似文献   

Do we need more male primary teachers? Tensions and contradictions in the perspectives of male and female trainees     

Colette Ankers de Salis  Avril Rowley  Kathy Stokell 《Education 3-13》2019,47(4):475-489

Primary teaching Initial Teacher Training courses across the UK have been under pressure from central government, Ofsted and the media to recruit more male students to their courses with the aim of increasing the proportion of males in the primary teaching workforce. This is because increasing the number of male role models in primary schools has been mooted as the solution to boys’ underachievement, especially in reading and writing. There is, however, little evidence showing any correlation between boys’ educational outcomes and the number of male primary teachers in schools. The purpose of the project reported in this paper was to ascertain the beliefs of the future primary school workforce about this focus on the need for male role models in schools. A mixed-methods approach was employed: 120 male and female primary trainees were surveyed and a further 48 took part in group interviews, all of whom were based in an Initial Teacher Training department in a university in North West England. Results indicated that although aspiring teachers felt that males and females could make equally good role models for children their personal value systems perpetuated the myth that boys need male role models to achieve better educational outcomes.  相似文献   

Becoming a teacher: Experiences of female trainees in initial teacher education in Nigeria     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2020

This article foregrounds the experiences of female trainees on a scholarship programme for initial teacher education aimed at increasing the number of qualified female teachers from rural northern Nigeria, and boosting female pupil enrolments. Challenging conditions in colleges of education, including curricular shortcomings, overcrowding, limited resources and inadequate learning support were compounded by non-academic factors – especially financial, and gendered constraints. Collectively, they threatened student retention, learning and attainment, and the programme’s gender equity goals. Findings highlight the need to move beyond increasing numbers of female student-teachers, to improving quality in teacher education, paying attention to out-of-college conditions too.  相似文献   

转型国家转型发展的初始条件和约束条件分析     

朱楠  任保平 《未来与发展》2010,33(11):6-10,21

本文运用高级发展经济学中的转型发展理论来说明转型与发展的辩证关系,以及其对转型国家的重要性。实现在转型中发展是转型国家的目标,但转型国家在转型时期的经济绩效表现出很大的差异性,而这种差异性是受各国转型之时的初始条件和约束条件的影响造成的。因此,初始条件和约束条件产生的各种影响迫使改革设计者必须在考虑它们的前提下,周密制定每个转型阶段的转型任务,帮助国家实现转型成功。  相似文献   

The impact of initial learning experience on digital services usage diffusion: A field study of e-services in Lebanon     

《International Journal of Information Management》2017,37(4):284-296

The initial learning experience is crucial for understanding digital services adoption and usage diffusion. Using a UTAUTv2 model, we explore the effect of process- and content-oriented knowledge on behavioral intentions to use e-government services. The adoption of e-government systems is lower than desired in general and faces considerable resistance in many developing countries. Scholars suggest that more knowledge and better training are critical to increasing adoption and usage rates. We conducted a survey of 262 citizens in Lebanon to investigate how consumers cope with high and moderate levels of complexity during their initial learning experience with a technology-based product. The results show that a moderate degree of content- and process-oriented knowledge about e-government services during an initial learning experience improves usage habits, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions. The challenge for service providers is to understand consumers’ learning experience and coping strategies and to provide mechanisms that make the transition to e-services easier and more intuitive. This can be achieved by developing new infrastructure for e-services to facilitate easier access to e-government websites and to improve site performance. Marketers can also develop more effective communications that offer easy and flexible specific steps for using the portal.  相似文献   

安徽建省初期的人口规模研究     

张理华 《安庆师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2009,28(2):83-87

安徽建省初期正值清朝政府完成全国统一之后,社会趋于安定,政府轻税赋以鼓励农耕,自然灾害相对较少,为人口再生产提供了稳定的环境。此时期的安徽人口增长遵从指数规律。据此建立安徽1667～1748年的人口增长模型,推测安徽建省初期的人口数。1667年安徽建省时人口为1250万人,此后80余年间,人口增长率保持0．6668％左右。人口数无大幅度波动。安徽建省至1850年以前的180余年间,安徽省总人口占全国人口的比重保持在10％左右。  相似文献   

Using activity theory to understand prospective teachers' attitudes to and construction of special educational needs and/or disabilities     

Sue Pearson 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

Appropriate professional development, including that initial teacher training, is regarded as a cornerstone of the development of inclusive education. This research is concerned with prospective teachers' conceptualisations of terms such as ‘disability’ and ‘special education’. Activity theory is proposed as a lens through which to consider the complexities involved. In the context of the English systems, this research, using data collected through word association and analysed using activity theory, explored the trainees' conceptualisations. The findings highlight both heterogeneity and homogeneity within a cohort of students, changes over time and implications for those involved in teacher education.  相似文献   

How to capture growth? – Video narratives as an instrument for assessment in teacher education     

Anne Bannink 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

Portfolios are widely used as instruments for assessment in initial teacher education courses. They are claimed to present a comprehensive picture of student teachers' knowledge and performance. But what type of evidence is needed to safely say that an aspiring teacher has not only grasped essential notions and concepts from the teacher education course, but is also able to implement them in real world classroom situations? This paper reports on the design process of one portfolio assignment that has been developed specifically to capture students' classroom performance and development in their portfolio. Data from the portfolio entries of one student from a small-scale pilot conducted with the assignment are analyzed in detail followed by a discussion of the implications of the case study.  相似文献   

An examination of pre-service teachers' attitudes towards the inclusion of development education into Irish post-primary schools   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Orla McCormack  Joanne O’ Flaherty 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2010

As part of an undergraduate concurrent initial teacher education programme pre-service teachers participate in an education module consisting of a number of workshops relating to the integration of development education active learning methodologies into their teaching. Following completion of the module, pre-service teachers participate in a 12-week teaching practice placement. This study, based on questionnaires and focus group data, was conducted following their return from teaching practice and examines their attitudes towards development education, the extent to which they included development education issues in their teaching while on teaching practice and their attitudes towards including such issues in the future. Results indicate that while pre-service teachers were positive towards integrating development education into post-primary schools and indicated their hope to include such issues in the future, they face a number of barriers that prevent them from doing so. As they begin their teaching career, the integration of development education is not viewed as a major priority for these pre-service teachers.  相似文献
