International Developments and Trends in Culturally Responsive Teacher Cultivation
Under the demands of multicultural education and education for international understanding,the term"culturally responsive teachers"has gradually emerged in the discourse system of educational research and practice along with the development of"culturally responsive teaching".Culturally responsive teachers are required to possess culturally responsive competencies that are comprehensive and systematic,including a multicultural knowledge base,multicultural emotions,multicultural awareness and attitudes,and culturally responsive teaching skills.Based on a review of international experiences,it is found that the practice of culturally responsive teacher cultivation can be summarized into three stages of"preservice-in service-sustainable development",including four paths of"curriculum-cognition","experience-practice","critique-reflection"and"guidance-support",reflecting the characteristics of"whole-course and multi-path".In the future,the development of culturally responsive teacher cultivation should also focus on the revision and development of the concept of"culturally responsive teacher"and its connotation construction in the local context.
