Abstract

This small-scale piece of research listened to the stories, experiences and perceptions of teaching assistants to hear their lived experiences of the role of teaching assistant. To hear how expectations have altered with/without legislative and framework guidance and consideration of the individuals who take up teaching assistant roles, in a climate where there is a succinct lack of legal requirement for any training or qualifications to be undertaken prior to or during the job role. The findings indicated that there appears to be an ethos within primary educational settings that teaching assistants can ‘do it all’ at ‘all times’, that there is a lack of clarity in role and responsibilities across the ‘unqualified staff’, and furthermore that they self-position as “Just a TA”.
“我只是TA”;从调配颜料到管理保卫和课堂教学——助教在学校的认知和角色探索
这项小规模的研究倾听了助教的故事、经历和看法,以了解他们对助教角色的生活体验。了解在没有立法和框架指导以及对担任助教的个人的考虑的情况下,在对担任助教之前或期间进行的任何培训或资格都缺乏明确的法律要求的环境下,期望是如何改变的。调查结果表明,在小学教育环境中,似乎存在一种风气,即助教可以在“任何时候”“无所不能”,“不合格的员工”的角色和责任不明确,而且他们自我定位为“只是一名助教”。
