A Study On The Narrative Of Professional Identity Of Postgraduates In Education

The sense of specialty identity is produced and constructed in the process of specialty learning experience and subjective experience of profession. The attitude of the students to the specialty cannot be simply attributed to agree or disagree, high or low, it is a kind of dynamic process of change. It’s better to represent the students’ subjective world and the development track of specialty identity from the perspective of students by the way of narrative description on students’ specialty learning experience as well as the feelings and attitudes in that process. Represent the life situations%chances and feelings in a narrative way, and cause the understanding and attention to the students’specialty learning.Therefore, this research studies three graduate students who have studied in this specialty for seven years, tries to present the journey of specialty learning through narrative methods in order to have a better understanding of their identity of specialty education. As to the analysis of the interviewees’specialty learning life cycle, it mainly falls into two parts. Firstly, we talk about the specialty learning experience of the three students, including the entrance exam to college, the impression of undergraduate education specialty and one’s deceased father grind. Secondly, we talk about the specialty learning experience of the graduates, which from six dimensions, respectively is the specialty status, specialty value, specialty training, specialty emotion, and specialty learning and development prospects. We find that student W values specialty’s intrinsic value, the value of self-improvement and has an understanding and tolerant attitude to specialty construction. Student Z’s attitude to specialty is more complex, on the one hand, he recognizes the intrinsic value of the specialty, he thinks "specialty is only a way to obtain a diploma, but the ability is the most important", even "looks down upon" the classmates who say bad words of the major, but on the other hand, he is constantly under the influence of external factors and the attitude of the specialty identity has changed repeatedly. Student L’s attitude of the specialty identity is low generally, and she is so confused with the specialty employment prospects.In addition to give the readers the original data of the three students for reading, understanding and thinking, the researcher tries to analyze the characteristics of the graduate students’ specialty identity and the influencing factors. It turns out that the students’ specialty identity is a complex and dynamic process, influenced by various factors. In this part, this thesis analyzes from internal factors and external factors. On this basis, in the last chapter, the author puts forward five ways to the improvement of the specialty identity of the pedagogy graduate students from the perspective of students themselves and the specialty.
