An Optimization Research of University-School Cooperation in the Perspective of Boundary-crossing Learning:Taking the Teacher Research Literacy Enhancement Programas Research Object
How to resolve the dilemma of overemphasis on homogeneity in the current U-S cooperation and essentially activate the subjectivity of diverse participants has become the key to fostering the sustainable growth of U-S cooperation for teachers'professional development.Following this approach,the boundary-crossinglearningtheory,which underscores heterogeneityingrouplearning processes has come into our view.Taking the Teacher Research Literacy Enhancement programasresearch object,this research aimstoreconstruct the current U-S cooperation through the lens of boundary-crossing learning theory,and to explore what kind of new patterns U-S cooperation can present as well as what kind of new situation it can bring to teachers'professional development.Research has revealed that the key to optimizing U-S cooperation in the perspective ofboundary-crossing learning lies in following three pivotal aspects.Firstly,it relies on the core proposition of'differences as resources',which shifts from mere complementarity to embracing diversity.Secondly,it cultivates a secure,trustful,and supportive interactive field from emotional,physical,and institutional aspects,providing a fertile ground for teachers to manifest their subjectivity.Lastly,it establishes multi-level and multi-type boundary objects from'what it is''how to do'and'why',thus continuously promoting communication and interactionamongparticipants.These above three aspects work together to constitute the operating system of U-S cooperation in the perspective of boundary-crossing learning.This operating system triggers the formation of boundary-crossing learning mechanism,and further construct a theoretical model of U-S cooperation in the perspective of boundary learning,which brings new possibilities for teachers'professional development.
