Abstract

A quality education for all children and youth is required for the continued advancement of modern civilization. But this outcome is threatened by a growing international teacher shortage. Increased rates of teacher attrition and reduced rates of enrollment in teacher education programs are driving this shortage; however, research suggests that teacher candidates’ lack of preparation for the emotional labour of teaching is another important contributing factor, one which can be addressed in teacher education programs. The aim of this paper is to explore this problem and surface potential solutions. First, the social historical context of teaching is explored as an entry point to inquiry into this topic. Next, through discussion of the emotional nature of teaching, the thesis that teacher candidates must be prepared to handle the emotional labour of teaching during their teacher education program is advanced. Then, a review of the literature surfaces three key content areas which if addressed during teacher preparation can help prepare teacher candidates to handle the emotional labour of teaching: identity development, emotions and teaching, and social-emotional competence. Finally, these components are included in a theory of change for a new program that could be integrated into existing teacher education programs.
为教师准备情绪劳动:教师教育缺失的一块
现代文明的持续发展需要为所有儿童和青年提供高质量的教育。但这一结果受到日益严重的国际教师短缺的威胁。教师流失率的增加和教师教育项目入学率的降低导致了这种短缺;然而,研究表明,教师候选人缺乏对教学情感劳动的准备是另一个重要的促成因素,这可以在教师教育计划中解决。本文的目的是探索这个问题和表面势的解决方案。首先,以教学的社会历史语境为切入点来探究这一主题。其次,通过对教学情感本质的讨论,提出了教师候选人在教师教育过程中必须做好处理教学情感劳动的准备。然后,对文献的回顾揭示了三个关键内容领域,如果在教师准备过程中加以解决,可以帮助教师候选人准备好处理教学中的情感劳动:身份发展、情感和教学以及社会情感能力。最后,这些组成部分被纳入一个新项目的变革理论,该项目可以整合到现有的教师教育项目中。
