Research On The Quality Assurance Mechanism Of In-service Training For Teachers In Hong Kong Primary And Secondary Schools

Education is often a cornerstone of any country's development and an instrument of change.Education is a tool of "excellence" that is critical to national development,transformation and social reconstruction.School reform has become a key tool to implement education reform,and education reform and teacher development are highly interdependent,so teacher professional development is the key to school development and education reform,and their mutual need to strengthen deeper internal communication and cooperation.In response to the new curriculum reform,school administrators and teachers are more and more involved in seeking and making use of opportunities to improve their professional skills and teaching effectiveness.It can be seen that the development of in-service teacher training has been a hot topic.Education involves quality everywhere,and schools and teachers have the right to demand high-quality training programs.However,the quality of in-service training of teachers in China is not optimistic,and there is an insurmountable gap between teachers' professional preparation and classroom practice needs.As early as 1993,the United States proposed to provide high-quality training for teachers in the bylaws of county councils,and explained how to check the quality through auditing procedures.It can be seen that the quality of in-service teacher training is fundamental.Quality depends largely on the commitment of the academic community to maintain and improve standards and,correspondingly,the quality of on-the-job training depends on the commitment of educational authorities to maintain and improve educational change.Of course,this cannot be imposed from the outside,and academics generally agree that the government's responsibility is to ensure that "institutions are in place to promote and implement this commitment and monitor the results".Therefore,China should actively explore the quality assurance system of in-service training for primary and secondary school teachers,further improve the quality of in-service training for teachers,and give play to its important role in promoting teachers' professional growth.As early as the 1990 s,there was a question in Hong Kong's education circles: "teachers spend a lot of time on continuing professional development activities,but sometimes they are dissatisfied with the quality and effectiveness of the activities." As a professional teacher training school,the Hong Kong institute of education,one ofthe public universities of Hong Kong,had been institutionalized at that time.At the same time,the government of the Hong Kong special administrative region was established in 1993 with the advisory committee(qualifications(acteq)qualifications(acteq,dedicated to improve the professional quality of teachers,and formulate a set of competent teachers architecture(TCF),at the same time,to encourage and promote teachers to participate in the activities of professional development(PD),formulate measures for some institutions,such as continuing professional development framework)and Hong Kong teachers' training is dedicated to provide you with quality assurance.Primary and secondary school teachers in Hong Kong,like their social counterparts in the midst of rapid social,economic and political change,are facing the challenges of educational reform that require greater efficiency and accountability.The active participation of teachers is very important to create a culture of continuous professional development of teachers.While encouraging teacher participation,Hong Kong has always stressed that quality is more important than quantity in teacher professional development,since the primary objective of teacher professional development is to benefit students,schools and teachers.In 30 years later,Hong Kong continues to actively explore and continually improved as cornerstones of Hong Kong vocational training and continuing education qualifications framework,at the same time,Hong Kong qualifications framework derived under the academic and vocational qualifications accreditation(accreditation)as a "review authorities",develop and implement standards and mechanism of teachers' in-service training review,as the basis of seniority structure of Hong Kong.As a gatekeeper and gateway to quality assurance,the quality of in-service training for primary and secondary school teachers in Hong Kong will enter a new stage of systematization through the combination of the assessment mechanism and in-service training for teachers in Hong Kong.
