How Do Teachers Build Their Own Identity?——A Comparative Analysis Based on Social Structural and Narrative Orientation
Teacher identity is an important reflection of their career and professional development,which is also the nodus and hot issue in theoretical research.The construction of teacher identity has two theoretical perspectives:social structural orientation and narrative orientation.The social structural orientation,based on the influence of social structural factors,explores the process of teacher identity construction from three per-spectives:the constraints of institutional norms,the role and identity perception and practice of teachers in the practice community,and the reflection of routine actions to discover oneself.While the narrative orientation emphasizes the analysis of the psychological process of identity construction,attaches importance to the analysis of teacher experience and meaning construction,or is based on the dialogue between teachers and public discourse,or on the teachers'career story and key events,or based on the theory of self-dialogue,in order to analyze the context of teachers'realization of self-identity.The two theoretical orientations reveal the tension between the sociality and individuality of teacher identity,explaining the diverse paths,multidimen-sional outcome orientations,and inherent richness of teacher identity.They have reference and inspiration value for public policy practice,individual teacher career development,and teacher identity research.
