A Study On Teachers' Receptivity Of The Compulsory Education Biology Curriculum Standards (2011)

Teachers' receptivity is an important affecting factor in the reform of curriculum.The biology curriculum standards of 2011 edition is an important reference for the curriculum reform of biology teachers in compulsory education.Teachers' receptivity of curriculum standards directly affects the implementation of curriculum standards and the progress of biological curriculum reform.In this study,we randomly selected200 middle school biology teachers across our country as the research object.Based on the quantitative research,this paper makes an investigation and analysis on the current situation of middle school biology teachers' receptivity of the "full-time compulsory biology curriculum standards(2011 Edition)." Finally,we clarified the status quo of teachers' receptivity and the existing problems,and sought solutions to these problems.Based on the theoretical model of teacher's receptivity,this paper divides teacher's curriculum receptivity as a dependent variable into three dimensions:cognition,feeling and behavior intention.According to the classification of influencing factors,the influencing factors of teacher's receptivity are divided into three categories.The results show that: the questionnaire has good reliability and validity;the teacher's curriculum receptivity is in the medium-high level;there is no significant difference in the personal factors between the middle school biology teachers' receptivity such as gender,education,teaching seniority and job title;there is a significant linear positive correlation between the frequency of the use of curriculum standards and teachers' receptivity;There is a positive correlation between teachers' self-expectation and teachers' receptivity;There is a positive correlation between teachers' educational beliefs and teachers' receptivity;On the level of environmental factors,such as school support,out-of-school support,relieving teachers' anxiety,teachers' cooperation,teachers' participation and teachers' learning opportunities,are positively related to teachers' receptivity in different degrees.Improving these items will enhance teachers' receptivity to biology curriculum standards.There are some problems as follows: middle school biology teachers don't do well in experimental teaching and developing curriculum resources;the evaluation of students is very simple;paying more attention to teaching than self-exploration;the school's support for the implementation of the curriculum is not enough,and so on.Finally the thesis proposes some suggestions on how to enhance the biology teachers' receptivity to new curriculum standards.
