Narrative Research On Management Activities Of Primary School Teacher Class

“What is it” and “what should be” have been two important questions in academic research. As to the class management of primary head-teachers, the academic research mainly focuses on how to manage classes; however, there has been little research in the actual state in head-teacher’s class management. This thesis is intended to use the method of narrative study to understand the real state of head-teachers’ mind by applying the three questions: “what ideas do head-teachers possess”、”what characteristics do these ideas have” and “why this characteristic exists”. I utilize YX School as an investigation spot to collect stories about head-teachers with others like students, parents, other teachers and school leaders by applying methods of participant observation, interview and literature. From the research, the primary head-teachers’ ideas is conflicting in specific class management activities. The reason is that head-teachers are playing multiple roles like educators, administrators, common person, colleagues and employees. In specific class management activities, head-teachers may play more than two different roles in the same time, some of which may be contrary to each other. Thus, it may put head-teachers in a dilemma in class management. The thesis found out contradictory features in ideas in head-teachers as different roles: educator and administrator, administrator and common person, administrator and colleague, administrator and employee.
