14、I bring to this study is influenced by my own teacher experiences and from my understanding of teacher induction research. I believe that teacher induction is an essential component to effectively bringing new teachers i

18、of these teachers' experiences as possible.</p><p>  As a researcher, I spent many hours observing and listening to teachers tell stories of their work. In some cases, stories were recounted with extreme

19、 positive or negative emotion. In other accounts, stories seemed more neutrally presented. Regardless of the emotion present, I was entrusted with both the sacred and the cursed moments of beginning teaching. Although no

38、整體的圖片” (Creswell, 1998, 第15頁)。新任教師思想工作環(huán)境即是本文的自然環(huán)境。</p><p>  本文的案例研究所采用的是研究方法論(Merriam, 1988)。案例研究以通過多種數(shù)據(jù)來源深度搜集數(shù)據(jù)(Creswell, 1998)來探索 “有限系統(tǒng)”(Smith, 1978),其具有廣泛跨科學發(fā)展的傳統(tǒng)。收集數(shù)據(jù)的多種形式,如訪談、觀察、述職訪談、現(xiàn)場記錄及文件等,讓案例的切入視角更為

40、案例研究的設計允許案列分析內部及之間有相同主題的出現(xiàn)(Creswell, 1998),并不局限于單獨的案例研究(Creswell, 1994)。因此,案例研究是進行新教師情緒體驗整體深度調查(Feagin, Orum, & Sjoberg, 1991)的理想方法。</p><p><b>  研究者的角色</b></p><p>  本人在研究中扮演的角色是進

44、研究保持了對參與者期望參與次數(shù)的敏感性。在不影響研究設計的情況下,我們保持了對需要數(shù)據(jù)的深度研究的資料所報告的新任教師的壓倒性需求的注意力。同時我們還意識到,對部分參與者來說,向研究員披露敏感信息可能是個問題。在研究的后期,許多教師就我作為研究員所為他們提供的傾聽、指導、反應及支持表示欣賞。比如:</p><p>  昨天我感到很失落。我的Cathy在哪里?昨天發(fā)生了太多的事情。我早上找你,因為你就是那個我可以分

46、披露敏感信息的尷尬。本質上,研究員與參與者之間的互動是在研究中建立起來的一種信任及機密的指導關系。我們期望這種關系在研究范圍之外,尤其是在研究員和主要參與者之間依然持續(xù)存在。</p><p>  對案例研究參與者進行篩選</p><p>  在定性研究中,對參與者進行有目的的篩選是對調查問題的最好回答(Creswell, 1994)。在本文中,參與者是從安大略西南學區(qū)的中學里有目的挑選出來

48、之為經(jīng)驗。</p><p>  為了啟動篩選案例研究參與者的工作,我們取得了所進行研究院校行政處的書面同意。該校副校長從學校數(shù)據(jù)庫中導出了所有的已有一年教學經(jīng)驗的教師名單。在學校行政處的許可下,我對上述名單中的14位教師的信息資料進行了備案和分布。在這14名教師中,有六名教師表示有興趣參與此項研究。我們分別與這六位教師進行了單獨談話,闡述了此次研究的目的和設計,以幫助確定參與者是對研究的主要內容還是少部分感興趣,
