High School Novice Mathematics Teachers' Professional Growth

To talk about the new teachers'development is an old topic, and different experts and scholars have different viewpoints. It's difficult for new teachers to become the distinguished teachers or eligible teachers, if they are not directed and helped by the old and experienced teachers in their teaching. In 2006, the New Curriculum Reform was put forward, which posed many challenges for all the teachers. The old teachers can quickly adjust their teaching instructions or methods to meet the requirements of the new curriculum standard by their experience. However, the new curriculum reform made new teachers bear much heavier burden, since it posed more requirements for new teachers who have more to learn. Besides, the new teachers didn't receive enough concern and help from the nation and society at home, and it's hard for them to improve their teaching level in a short time.This research was intended to learn about the present situation of new teachers'development by questionnaire and case interviews, and discover the problems and questions.
