On the Cultivation of Teachers'Professional Identity through Narrative Pedagogies
Facilitating teacher learners to develop a positive teacher professional identity is an important indicator of the quality of teacher education and reflects the teacher educators'professionality.Through a review of international literature and local teacher education practices,the paper argues that narrative pedagogies are effective paths for cultivating teachers'professional identity.Narrative pedagogies can be specifically distinguished into:narrative inquiry on a single story,narra-tive inquiry on experiences over a period of time,autobiography-based narrative pedagogy,and peer group based narrative pedagogy.To effectively implement narrative pedagogies,teacher educators need to deeply understand the characteristics and influencing factors of teachers'professional identity,possess excellent listening skills,be able to capture key contradic-tions from the narratives of teacher learners,analyze their roots,be good at creating a safe and warm learning atmosphere,and integrate their educational practices with educational research organically.
