Abstract

We explored teacher agency in a policy context of hyper-accountability drawing on interviews with ten experienced secondary school chemistry teachers in Chile. Constraints included successive reforms of the national curriculum, a resource-poor and high-surveillance education culture, and a low-priority culture of professional learning. Strategies enacted to sustain teacher agency included identifying ‘pockets of possibility’ to realise authentic chemistry education for all, developing trusting relationships with students and proactively nurturing their own professional development. These strategies have the potential to enhance the practice of teachers and teacher educators, and to inform a reorientation of policy away from high-stakes accountability.

探索在 "超级问责制 "背景下维持教师能动性的策略:智利十位经验丰富的化学教师的思考
我们通过对智利十位经验丰富的中学化学教师的访谈,探讨了在超问责制政策背景下的教师能动性。制约因素包括国家课程的连续改革、资源匮乏和高度监督的教育文化以及低优先级的专业学习文化。为维持教师的能动性而采取的策略包括:确定 "可能性区域",以实现真正的全民化学教育;与学生建立相互信任的关系;积极主动地促进教师自身的专业发展。这些策略有可能提高教师和教师教育者的实践能力,并为政策调整提供信息,使其摆脱 高风险问责制。
