How Can Teachers and Teaching Researchers Unite:The Formation and Operation of Teaching Research Communities
How teachers and teaching-researchers are united is a key topic to reveal the characteristics,operating mechanism and construct the theoretical discourse system of Chinese Jiaoyan.Based on the database of"National Survey of Teaching Research of Elementary Education",this paper analyzes the reasons for the union of teachers and teaching-researchers through the relationship between individual and group,and explores the formation and operation logic of communities of teaching research(CTR).Drawing on grounded theory,it is found that the communities of teachers and teaching-researchers are affected complicatedly by a shared vision,an organizational structure,an institutional system and a cooperation culture.As a result,discrete groups are centralized by multiple ties,and then formed a top-down hierarchical structure of teaching research.The connotation and characteristics of the Chinese CTR are shown in three aspects:the expression of the community from the discrete group to the quasi-community and to the community,the common goodness in the Chinese context and the constitutive self-generation of teachers,the multiple communities combining the bureaucracy and circles with conflicts.
