2.1.4 Case method in teachers’education

案例在教师教育中起着越来越重要的作用,对英语教育方向的学生来说,利用案例,可以提前了解职场环境及工作中可能存在的问题,通过案例分析,提高认识问题、解决问题的能力,是为培养英语教育方向的学生从事教育、教学工作的专业能力的重要手段之一,能够克服教师专业性不足和经验匮乏的弊端,也体现了新时期教学改革和发展的要求。本书版权页的二维码中有延伸阅读资料,详细地讨论了案例教学在教师教育中的应用。

教师教育中的案例教学具有多种取向,并以案例为重心,以提高教师的专业性。

(1)教师教育中案例教学的取向

一是理论取向,主张案例即理论。舒尔曼(Shulman,2007)认为案例的界定、分析和拓展都奠基于教育的专业理论之上,并将案例教学界定为教师专业化的重要组成部分。二是实践取向,突出教师教育中的教育实践能力。三是技术取向,突出教师将理论或科学原则应用于实际情景的技术、技巧。四是教师发展取向,主张教师在解决教育问题的同时推动个人发展。五是批判取向,把进步的社会观与激进的教育批判相结合。

(2)案例教学的重心:案例而非教学

教师教育中的案例教学,更多地在于培养教师的专业性,以解决人们对于教师专业性欠缺的不满,其注重教育专业理论的应用,即“教师不在于拥有知识,而在于应用知识”。案例具有多重“再认识和多重表征的潜力”,并反映出案例的多样化应用。同时,学科中心论的教学取向,也要求案例教学是通过案例来统整教学而非相反。事实上,在满足教学目标方面,案例教学相对于讨论法和启发式教学并没有明显优势。由此可见,案例教学的重心与优势在于案例而非教学。

因此,教师教育中案例教学的核心在于深化教育教学理念,并通过以案例为中心的教学来提高教师的专业性。
