A Study On The Collaboration Culture Of Middle School English Teaching Group In Rural Areas

New Curriculum demands teachers with good qualities in teaching and learning based on win-win collaboration rules in order to get adjusted to the difficult and complicated situation of middle school teaching. Collaboration is particularly important for the teachers to accomplish their teaching goals, to promote their abilities in teaching and learning and to cultivate the students' abilities and foster their spirit of collaboration. The best way to accomplish this aim is for the middle school teachers to center on the all-round development of the students instead of only on the performances of the students. Hence, this dissertation aims at solving the collaboration problems existing in the English Group of JY Middle School and providing approaches to collaboration culture by means of analyzing the problems of the group based on Andy Hargreaves' collaboration theory and the theory of Robert G Owens' Organizational Behavior in Education.This dissertation consists of four parts. The first part analyses the background knowledge, the existing problems and the importance of the research with some relative concepts defined and research design and methods adopted in this part.The second part deals with the history of teaching collaboration at home and abroad by analyzing its collaboration situation in China, the factors resulting in teaching collaboration and the approaches to better its existing collaboration situation, aimed at getting well prepared for the solution to collaboration problems in the English teaching group in JY Middle School.The third part aims at discovering how the existing collaboration culture affects the English teaching group by looking into the existing collaboration culture in the English teaching group depending on the general situation of the group and the English teaching rules of JY Middle School. And the factors affecting the collaboration culture of the English group are dealt with from the following four aspects: the school managing mechanism, school systems including evaluation system, assessment system and tutor-student system, open-class mode, and teachers' qualities.Based on the first three parts, the last part deals with suggestions to foster healthy collaboration culture in the English group in JY Middle School. Suggestions are given in this part to establish a win-win collaboration culture in the English teaching group in JY Middle School including cultivate a win-win collaboration value, reforming school organization, promoting school collaboration culture, enhancing teachers' collaboration spirit and forming real collaboration culture.
