The 21st century is an era of life-long learning. Life-long learning will become a choice for life style of people. Based on life-long learning idea, teacher professional development should be a dynamic and continuous process through whole teachers' career. Teacher education that assumes the responsibility of teacher preparing and training should be an integrative process including three continuous phases, pre-service education, inductive education and in-service training.Induction period is a key phase in teacher professional development process. Whether beginning teachers successfully realize the transformation from student of teaching to eligible teacher in inductive period will influence not only their occupational orientation and permanence, but also their professional development pattern in whole career, which will determine what teachers are like in the future. Large numbers of studies indicate that beginning teachers indeed encounter more difficult and complex problems than teachers in other periods. Therefore, it is more important to provide inductive education for beginning teachers based on their professional development need.After the educator in Great Britain, James Porter, advanced a famous Theory of Three Phases of Teacher Education in 1971,which took the lead in introducing inductive education to teacher education system, many developed countries in Europe and America has began to implement and research on teachers' inductive education.This thesis makes a comparative study of representational theory of teachers' inductive education and practice of Japan, America and Great Britain, which implement teachers' inductive education early, and have prefect systems as well as remarkable effect. Based on the comparative study above, the thesis concerns seriously about teachers' inductiveeducation in our country.The thesis consists of eight chapters following a rigorous consecution:Chapter I . Introduction. This thesis' significance and researching method are introduced in this part, and definitions for several important conceptions in this thesis are made.chapter II .Induction period: the key phase in teacher professional development process.
