The influencing mechanism of the effectiveness of international Chinese textbook use:A survey based on 1341 international Chinese teachers
To investigate the effectiveness and the influencing mechanisms of interna-tional Chinese teachers'use of textbooks is of great significance for the improvement of teachers'professional ability and the development of high-quality textbooks.Based on Biggs'3P theoretical framework,this study constructs a hypothesis model from the three levels of presage,process and product,and carries out structural equation model analysis on the survey of 1341 international Chinese teachers.The results show that:(1)Teachers'understanding and strategies of textbook use are important factors that affect the effectiveness of textbook use;(2)Teachers'conception of the textbook indirectly affects the effectiveness of textbook use through their understanding and strategies of textbook use;(3)Teachers'research on the textbook has a positive impact on both the understanding and the strategies of textbook use;(4)There are differences in the mechanisms affecting the effectiveness of textbook use between novice and experienced teachers.Based on the analysis results,this study puts forward targeted suggestions in three aspects:to improve teachers'ability to use textbooks,to adjust textbook development strategies,and to innovate textbook research and training mode.
