The Challenges and Solutions of Teachers'Classroom Research on the Identity of"Insiders"
Classroom research refers to conducting research within the classroom settings.As the individuals involved in classroom teaching and research,teachers naturally become the focal point of classroom research.In individual-mode classroom research,teachers act as"insiders"due to their shared classroom culture with students.This"insider"status brings convenience to teachers're-search,yet it also poses challenges such as falsification,superficiality,and reliance on experience.These challenges stem from teachers'inherent understanding of research and their profession,as well as their individual research capabilities.To overcome the identity dilemma of teachers as"insid-ers"in classroom research,it is imperative for teachers to shift their perspective on classroom re-search,clarify the relationship between classroom research and teaching,and master scientific and systematic methodologies.Collaborating with professional researchers in various modes of collabora-tive research is crucial to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of teachers'classroom research,thereby improving the quality of classroom teaching.
