Dilemmas and Choices of Subject Matter Teacher Educators in Multiple Identities:A Perspective Based on Self-gaming
Due to the complexity of the working logic,subject matter teacher educators carry multiple identities simultaneously,such as academic researcher,teaching demonstrator and educational service provider,etc.Subject teacher educators face various dilemmas and choices in the collision of multiple identities.In order to explore the action logic of subject matter teacher educators in multiple identities,this study assumes that the multiple identities of subject matter teacher educators are multiple selves,and draws on the analytical framework of ego game theory to analyse the dilemmas and action choices of subject matter teacher educators in multiple identities through coding the interview data of the three subject matter teacher educators.The study found that subject matter teacher educators in multiple identities face the dilemmas of fragmented academic time and space,mismatch between'teaching'and'learning'and conflicts,insufficient cooperation and coordination,and the dilemma of being distant but not close to each other.When the multiple selves are in conflict,subject matter teacher educators will play the game based on the self-consciousness of efficiency agents,equity agents,behaviour agents,identity agents,and make a relatively rational division of self-interests,and keep searching for a better strategy under the interaction of the multiple selves.
