An Action Research On The Professional Community Construction Of Male Kindergarten Teachers ——A Case Study Of M-district Male Kindergarten Teachers Salon

With the development of the times,preschool education now has been rapidly developing.Both the country and the people are eager for high-quality preschool education.In this process,enhancing the professional standards of early childhood teachers is an important measure to achieve the objective of high-quality preschool education,and building a professional community of teachers is one of the important methods to promote the professional development of post-service teachers.A teachers’ professional community is a team in which teachers’ professional level can be enhanced through professional mutual assistance and sharing.Previous researches at home and abroad show that for teachers,a teachers’ professional community can improve the isolation of teachers emotionally,and for the professional development,promote their teaching improvement through mutual communication and sharing;for schools,it can change schools’ internal culture and cultivate the sense of collective responsibility;for students,it can finally promote students’ learning by improving teachers’ teaching practice.Led by the District Education Bureau,M-District Male Early Childhood Teachers Salon has a history of more than 8 years since the establishment,and in this process,a lot of forms,such as collective teaching and research,micro-courses,lectures are used to improve the professional standards of regional male early childhood teachers.Cross-school and cross-discipline,teachers’ independent participation,regular activities and various contents and forms are its features.Based on analysis,its members reflect the characteristics of overall young age,high educational level,many permanent teachers,wide post distribution and professional title level to be improved.Then,according to the salon activities,a detailed analysis was made on the time,places,participants and contents of these activities.After the study,it is found that there are still some problems in the salon,such as lack of opportunities to build emotional connections,excessive concentration of power and cooperation efficiency to be improved.The main reasons are the large mobility of male early childhood teachers in the region,the contradiction between salon activities and their own work,and much rich resource support required by the salon.In the past year’s course of action,the development of teachers’ professional community was enhanced by changing the contents and forms of activities and delegating power to the lower levels.On this basis,the experience,achievements and problems in the process of community development were summarized,and the basic strategies to promote the development of teachers’ professional community were put forward.By this action,it is found that the activities of a teachers’ professional community can not conflict with daily teaching work,teachers’ professional community activities cannot be successful without the cooperation and support of kindergarten leaders,and a close emotional connection was needed to be built for a teachers’ professional community outside the community activities.Finally,we concluded that for a teachers’ professional community,members’ enthusiasm is needed to be stimulated,a good external environment support is required,and experienced organizers are essential.
