Collaboration: Exploring the path of novice teachers' growth in teaching and research activities

Abstract

For novice teachers, collaborative teaching and research activities are an important way to enhance their professionalism and realize their aspirations as teachers. In diverse collaborative teaching and research activities such as teacher-apprentice systems and group listening and evaluation, teachers are able to find their own breakthroughs in imitation, practice and reflection, shaking off the pain of identity change in a short time and moving towards the goal of teacher excellence. However, existing collaborative teaching and research activities are generally characterized by formalism, lack of teacher initiative and utilitarian outcomes, which hinder the development of novice teachers. Therefore, based on the above background, this paper proposes an effective path for novice teachers to achieve growth in collaborative teaching and research activities from two dimensions: extrapolation and endogenization, with the aim of using teachers' endogenous motivation as the source and efficient and diverse collaborative teaching and research activities as a scaffold to help novice teachers achieve growth and transformation.
