Teachers'Perceived Risk of Project-based Learning and Its Relationship with Implementation Willingness
While research and implementation of project-based learning in primary and secondary schools are receiving in-creasing attention,teachers'perceived risks to this emerging teaching method are often overlooked.In this study,the teachers in Beijing and Shanghai were taken as the research objects to examine teachers'perceived risks of project-based learning and its relationship with their willingness to implement.The results shown that the ranking of teachers'perceived risk is time-consuming,delaying teaching progress,being incompetent,not adapting to exams,hindering teaching effective-ness and destroying knowledge systems;the perceived risk of junior middle school teachers is higher than that of primary school teachers;perceived risk can negatively predict implementation willingness;School stage plays a moderating role be-tween perceived risk and implementation willingness,and the above negative predictive effect is greater in primary school teachers.Accordingly,it is suggested to carry out teacher training to eliminate teachers'perceived risks.
