学生教师见习期间教师信念的变化－一项关于全日制英语教育硕士的个案研究

Changes in student teachers' teacher beliefs in educational probation: A case study of full-time Master students of English education

本个案研究考察某师范大学两名2009 级全日制英语教育硕士见习期间教师信念的变化。基于前人研究的发现，通过对访谈资料和研究对象反思日记的分析，生成了英语教师信念的六个维度，即对职业的信念、对教师品质的信念、对英语的信念、对英语学习的信念、对英语教学的信念和对师生关系的信念；研究还发现教师信念各维度上的五类变化，即变革、从无到有、加强、减弱和无变化。学生教师教师信念的改变是其原有信念各个维度与外部世界相互博弈的结果，而对这个博弈的结果作出“判决”的是学生教师自己的反思。

This case study aimed to investigate the changes in the teacher beliefs of two student teachers in their educational probation. Both student teachers are full-time Master students of English education in a normal university in China. Based on the framework from previous studies, data analysis of the interviews with the two participants and of their journals revealed six aspects of teacher beliefs: the beliefs about being a teacher, about teachers' qualities, about the English language, about learning English, about teaching English, and about the relationship between teachers and students. In addition, five sorts of changes were identified: belief reformation, generation of new beliefs, belief enhancement, belief weakening, and null belief change. It is the result of the "game" involving their original beliefs in the six aspects and the external influences that leads to the changes of the student teachers' teacher beliefs in educational probation, and the determinant of the result is his/her reflections on his/her teacher beliefs.
