Investigating the Changes in Teacher Professional Learning: A Case Study of QMEA Schools
Abstract
Key words: Teacher Professional Learning; QMEA Schools; VET; Change
Resumé: L'apprentissage professionnel des enseignants joue un rôle important dans les résultats d'enseignement et dans la performance des élèves. Les enseignants qui s'engagent dans l'apprentissage professionnel se retrouvent souvent dans le cycle d'autonomisation. Bien que tous les enseignants ne suivent pas cette voie, ceux qui le font bénéficient d'une amélioration dans leur enseignement. Cet article étudie la question des changements dans l'apprentissage professionnel des enseignants fourni par les écoles de l'Académine des minéraux et de l'énergie de Queensland (AMEQ) , combien ces écoles AEMQ y ont investi, et comment les enseignants ont été impliqués en analysant les initiatives d'apprentissage professionnelles présentées dans les rapports annuels de ces écoles. Les résultats de la recherche indiquent qu'il existe une variance dans la quantité et une variété de l'offre de l'initiative dans les différentes écoles AEMQ. La participation des enseignants dans l'apprentissage professionnel offert n'est pas en proportion directe avec les investissements des écoles dans les initiatives. Les initiatives prévues par presque toutes les écoles AEMQ se concentrent encore sur le renforcement des connaissances académiques et les compétences pédagogiques.
