摘要
This paper aims to investigate ways of assessing the quality of teachers' reflective thinking and the factors that influence reflective thinking in EFL teachers through case studies.The reflections are assessed from three perspectives:content,depth and changes in action.The findings of this study reveal that there are three main factors which affect teachers' reflective thinking:differences of schools in different economic regions (teaching environment);mode of cooperation;teachers' beliefs.It also indicates that improvement of teaching depends on teaching context,teachers' beliefs and teachers' reflection regardless of their professional titles. EFL teachers' reflections can deepen based on changes of their personal beliefs,their teaching contexts and background,and the mode of cooperation.
本文旨在调查中国英语教师反思的质量和影响教师反思的因素。通过对来自广东省两名高中英语高级教师在课题中的工作坊、课后访谈和反思日志,分析了其反思内容、反思深度和影响其行为改变的效果。定性分析结果显示,影响英语教师反思的因素有以下三点:(1)经济发展不同的地区差异;(2)合作方式差异;(3)教师信念差异;另外,英语教师的教学水平的提高在于其选择的教学内容、信念和教师的反思。中国英语教师的教学反思可以随着其个人信念、教学内容、教学环境和合作方式的改变而深入。
