实践共同体模式下公共英语新手教师的职业发展探索

Exploring novice college English teacher development under the model of community of practice

基于美国社会学家Wenger 提出的实践共同体理论框架，以教师自我反思来促进职业发展为主导思想，本研究探索了一种通过实践共同体促进新手教师职业发展的途径，其主要目的是培养新手教师的自我反思能力，提高他们的教学和科研能力，通过有经验教师和新手教师之间的定期和不定期的访谈、互相听课、写反思日记、工作坊、集体读书等面对面的交流活动以及网络交流活动，在教学理念、教学方法、教学困惑、师生关系、科研能力、情感世界、知识信息等方面进行交流，达到知识建构、知识共享、共同发展的目的，使新手教师在认同上由教学实践者向教学研究者逐步发生转变。
