国外隐喻视角下教师信念的研究述评

Abstract

教师信念是教师对关于教与学的真实的坚定不移的看法,包括教师对教学、课程、学生、教师角色等的认识。教师的职前经验及在职经验都会对教师信念产生影响。教师信念与课堂教学密切相关,然而信念是内隐的,因而许多学者尝试通过隐喻来探索教师信念,进而为教育培训及教师教育等提供相关的启示和借鉴。隐喻可以帮助我们理解一些不熟悉的、抽象的、复杂的事物。目前,越来越多的学者采用质性结合量化的方法来窥探教师隐喻,从而对教学及教师角色等有更好的认识。值得一提的是,虽然隐喻是探索教师信念的重要途径,但也存在不足之处,在今后的研究过程中还有待完善。

Teachers' belief are regarded as teachers' unshakeable understanding about what's the reality of teaching and learning,including teaching,students,teacher'roles and so on.Both of teachers' pre- service and in- service experience influence their belief.Teachers' belief is closely related with teaching practice,while belief is implicit,so many researchers trying to explore it through metaphors,thus providing corresponding inspirations and references for educational training and student teachers' education.Metaphors can help us understand something unfamiliar,abstract or complex.At present,more and more researchers adopt qualitative method combined by quantitative method to explore teachers' metaphors,thus promoting our understanding of teaching and teachers' roles.What we need to pay attention to is that though metaphor is an important way to study teachers' belief,some disadvantages still exist which need to be perfected in the following studies.
