Racial witnessing and the formation of los conscientes – race critical preservice teachers

This article introduces the concept of racial witnessing – i.e. defining moments where an individual experiences a strong event in which they (or someone they care deeply about) were racialized, Othered, and/or treated differently (usually negatively) because of their racial group, racial affiliation, etc. It is these moments of racial witnessing that are pivotal in the development of los conscientes. These were the more critical-minded preservice teachers who demonstrated a greater understanding regarding race and racism and the impacts it has on the educational system and human lives. This article argues that it is not a specific variable and/or experience (such as those gained in field experiences) that creates race consciousness among preservice teachers. It is the accumulation of racial witnessing events that allow for a deeper understanding of how race dictates lives.

综合性大学举办教师教育存在的问题及对策

Toward a teacher solidarity lens: former teachers of color (re)envisioning educational research

Based on a two-year self-study by a group of early-career scholars of color, we explore and purposefully name our role, within the contemporary context of neoliberal reform, as educational researchers of color who are former K-12 teachers. We capture the insights that emerged from our self-study through a close reading of dominant neoliberal educational reform discourses, particularly through an examination of the writings of Michelle Rhee and Wendy Kopp. Along three dimensions of: (1) experience as teachers; (2) solidarity with teachers; and (3) analyses of racism in schooling, we characterize prominent discourses through which educators, researchers, and the public describe teachers and teaching. We name these discursive frames to make explicit the assumptions that are embedded in each and the intentional or inadvertent consequences of each. Finally, we propose a teacher solidarity lens through which we strive to approach our research and work with teachers.     

Parental involvement in the development of a culture‐based school curriculum

This study focuses on parental involvement in Sámi schools when developing a culturally sensitive school curriculum. The research recognizes a number of competing and complementary interests that play a role when constructing structures and policies in curriculum development. Two Sámi schools in Sweden with 115 pupils, their parents and 27 teachers were included in a longitudinal three‐year study. Interviews, school visits, videotapes and document analysis were used to gather information. The results indicate the invisible existence of culture‐based school practice and curriculum texts. The lack of contact among homes, schools and community culture was obvious. Parents and teachers expressed an interest in developing a culture‐based local curriculum through a process of reflecting on and creating an education incorporating the past, the present and the future. The study showed that parents, pupils and teachers experienced increased awareness in culture‐based schoolwork. The study pointed to a desire for cooperation between home and school in the development of a culture‐based school curriculum and a school practice supported by a culturally responsible teacher.

师生关系的心理学思考

师生关系是教育活动中最基本的人际关系。师生关系的情感特征决定了其本质是教师和学生间的心理关系。教师要善于发挥师生关系中的人际情感因素在促进学生发展中的巨大作用。教师和学生间的心理位差有助于教师更好地发挥主导作用,但也为师生间的情感交流设置了障碍。师生关系是教师和学生在教育活动中心理互动的结果。师生间的心理互动是一个综合网络系统,其教育影响作用能够促使教学相长。     

西北地区思想品德教师观念的调查研究

通过对新疆、甘肃和宁夏三省区思想品德教师观念的调查研究发现：思想品德课程改革实施至今,教师在观念上已经普遍接受了新课程理念,但接受和内化程度并不高,在诸如师生关系,突出学生的主体地位等方面与新课程理念尚存在一定差距。通过对不同群体教师观念的差异分析发现：城市教师高于农村教师,本科及以上学历教师高于专科及以下学历教师,教龄在10-20年的教师高于其他教龄教师。为进一步促进西北地区思想品德教师观念的转变,推动思想品德课程实施,建议加强教师培训,提高思想品德课程师资队伍水平;促进教育均衡发展,提高农村教师认识水平;深化德育课程评价改芷．

海南农村中学教师科研素养调查、反思与对策

近年来,国家大幅度推进的教师教育改革以及课程改革对教师科研素养的要求不断提高。"教师作为研究者"的理念也被越来越多的学者所认可。然而,海南农村中学教师仍然在科研素养方面表现出科研观消极、缺乏科研理论、科研能力的薄弱以及科研道德的虚高等问题。文化与家庭、职称评审制度以及教师培训方式等因素在很大程度上影响了农村教师科研素养的提升。欲破解现实困境,组建面向教育教学实践变革的科研团队、促进职称评审制度的变革以及注重农村教师在职培训模式的多样化是可行的改革之路。
