教师教育改革与教育图景

在全世界范围内，教师教育已被公认为是教育领域的重中之重，尤其在普及读写能力、职业技能及作为国家发展基础的公民意识等方面。对于教师教育改革的热情在世界范围内呈现出周期性循环，但令人沮丧的是，结果却不尽如人意。教师教育是复杂教育生态图景中的一部分，其变化部分源于教育改革者的努力，部分源于教育家们也无能为力的自然社会力量。拟通过探寻“叙事”、“理论与实践”及“互惠学习”等概念来描述这一教育图景及其潜在的指向性变化。同时，也将从国际教育图景中的沟通、交流、学习与竞争的角度思考教师教育的重要意义。

Teacher Education Reform and the Landscape of Education

Teacher education is recognized worldwide as an educational priority for developing literate, workforce capable, citizens as a basis for national progress. There are cycles of enthusiasm for teacher education reform worldwide with a discouraging literature on successes. Teacher education is part of a large complex landscape ecosystem which changes partly due to the efforts of education reformers and partly due to natural social forces over which educators have little control. In this paper I describe this landscape and the potential for directed change by exploring concepts of narrative, theory and practice and reciprocal learning. The significance for teacher education that comes from thinking in terms of an international educational landscape of communication, exchange, learning and competition are discussed.
