Reseal’ch On Snior Teachers’ Development In The View If "New Elementary Education"

For quite some time, the problems of teachers’development of basic education have been emphasized by scholars of the pedagogy. In this field, it had been already done a lot of theory researches or empirical researches, and it also had been set up a lot of theory systems. Many great achievements had been got, too. The author had used "teachers’development" as the key word to search in VIP periodical data base, and got2305results. But when I used "senior teachers" as the key word to search, I got8results, and5of them introduced foreign experience as their details. Then I used "senior teachers’development" as the key word and found no results. To a certain extent, This data could prove that there are some limitations in the recent researches of teachers’development:Firstly, most of this kind of researches were around of solving the problems of "new teachers’development", compare with that, researches which were around of "proficient teachers’development" or "senior teachers’ development" is lesser. Secondly, in the field of Chinese education, researches were once filled of "Bring Ideology" and ignored to develop our own education theory which based on local facts of our country. This state of affairs hadn’t been improved until1990’s. So, teachers’development researches which base on Chinese local facts of education still have a wide developing space. The end, teachers’developing level directly determines the level of the development of education, and it would be led by the development of senior teachers. But, this problem didn’t be noticed because of the limits of education opinions, social environments, material conditions and so on. So, basing on these kinds of limitations, it is stringency for us to do a series of local education researches, especially to do some senior teachers’development researches."New elementary education" research, which is led by Ye Lan, Professor of ECNU, is a research which used15years and totally based on the education facts of recent China. The key positions of this research are person-based and life-awareness. These positions had made a great revelation to the development of Chinese education, and it would also affect the development of Chinese education and pedagogy. Still,"teachers’development" will be one of the most important research contents, and the researchers have made a large number of researches in education theories and education practice. They have got many valuable results. But, to the problem of "senior teachers’ development", we still need more analyses and results. And this brings my research some new views and some possibility break-through.This research used the narrative research method to make a case study, researched three senior teachers of Shanghai Mingqiang primary school, which is a base school of the "new elementary education". Participant observation, structured interview were used to reproduce their teaching, researching, class-managing and so on. And these methods would help to restore the education phenomenon, summarize the situations of senior teachers’ development in "new elementary education", provide some significant reference to the teachers’ development researches of our elementary education, and the development of the elementary education of Guangxi.
