Theoretical Construction of Professional Competence Model of School Teachers as Practice-based Teacher Educators
The study formulates a tiered model of professional competence for school teachers as practice-based teacher edu-cators,grounded in nine core practices,based on the Community of Practice Theory and people-oriented value system.The model is structured into three progressive levels:basic,core,and expanding literacy.Basic literacy is centered on moral education,self-improvement,and educational research.Core literacy encompasses demonstration&explanation,inspiration&guidance,evaluation&feedback,communication&counseling and cross-boundary collaboration.Expanded literacy is dedicated to the development of TE curricula and educational leadership.The model provides a scholarly basis for selection for cooperative teachers and construction of Chinese teacher educators'professional standards.It also holds significant po-tential for elevating high-quality teacher education and fostering an open,collaborative,and integrated TE system.
