The Collective Action Logic and Practical Rationale of"Burden Reduction"for Primary and Secondary School Teachers
The"burden reduction"for primary and secondary school teachers,as a necessary social action to address the issue of teacher workload,is akin to a game"black box."It encapsulates the complex interplay of various forces within the current spatiotemporal context,forming a dynamic and intricate action network.Utilizing the Actor-Network Theory framework,the essence of the"burden reduction"initiative for teachers is the network construction among diverse stakeholders,including government,schools,teachers,researchers,and technology,all engaged in addressing the"teacher workload issue."This initiative reveals the collective action logic of interest games,negotiations,and collaborations among different forces concerning teacher"burden reduction."The pluralistic value demands of different stakeholders are the foundational conditions for the occurrence of translation and are also the key drivers for the formation and evolution of the teacher"burden reduction"network relationships.Goal displacement and interest misalignment within interest groups,as well as external field influences and cognitive biases,can lead to a series of actor deviations,thereby weakening or eliminating the network's connectivity.To resolve the practical dilemma of"the more you reduce,the heavier the burden becomes,"it is possible to facilitate ideal translation by enhancing school autonomy and coordination functions,and by establishing channels for participant interest demands,ensuring the realization of the intended goals of teacher"burden reduction."By forming a collaborative action alliance system among local governments,primary and secondary schools,teachers,parents,and researchers,the sustainable development of teacher"burden reduction"can be promoted.Breaking free from"spatial"limitations and internal management constraints,it is essential to gather heterogeneous actors from multiple sources to expand the practical influence of teacher"burden reduction."
