A Study On Teacher Education And Training For Secondary Vocational And Technical Education In China

Teachers are the utmost important resource of the education, and their quantity and quality have direct relation to the scale and speed of the educational development. So does the secondary vocational and technical education. Since the late Qing Dynasty we have been exploring appropriate teachers' education and training pattern for the secondary vocational school, from the instruction and training institutes to the vocational and technical normal colleges and all levels of training bases for the professional teachers. The system of the teacher education and training is being improved gradually and we also get further understanding about the knowledge on the teachers' quality. Furthermore, quite a lot of experience on it is accumulated.With respect to the development course of the teachers' education and training for the secondary vocational and technical education, the education is carried out only in academic institutes and has the character of small scale and lack of practice. Therefore, it is difficult for the teachers' quantity and quality in different times to meet the requirement of today's secondary vocational and technical education. Especially at the present time when the vocational and technical education is well developed, the teachers' quantity, quality and problems with structure have prevented the secondary vocational and technical education from being improved.It is of great importance, in theory and in practice, to investigate the cause of the problem with constructing teachers troop from the angle of the history's development. Currently speaking, breaking the closing model of cultivating teachers in pure vocational and technological normal college, building up an opened and cent stage educational model, and in the same time, perfecting the in-service teachers training and system of appraisal is the only method to build up a powerful teachers troop.
