百年大計,教育為本。
教育大計,教師為本。
在當前我國全面建設小康社會、加快推進社會主義現(xiàn)代化的關鍵時期,教育的基礎性、全局性、先導性地位更加突出。特別是,在整個國民教育體系中發(fā)揮“奠基”作用的基礎教育,是國家建設人力資源強國的基礎性環(huán)節(jié);A教育的質(zhì)量,直接決定著國家未來的人才素質(zhì),決定著國家和民族的崛起和復興。
有好的教師,才有好的教育。作為培養(yǎng)基礎教育師資的主渠道,教師教育必須敏銳感知基礎教育對師資素質(zhì)的需求,培養(yǎng)出適應基礎教育要求的優(yōu)秀教師。高師院校作為我國教師教育事業(yè)的實施主體,責任重大,使命光榮。
近些年來,適應國內(nèi)外教師教育發(fā)展的新形勢,國內(nèi)高師院校普遍進行了教師教育改革,千方百計提升教師教育質(zhì)量。近年來,山西師范大學集中力量實施教師教育改革,并對國內(nèi)外教師教育模式進行了考察調(diào)研,在《光明日報》等刊物上相繼發(fā)表了《高師院校教師教育改革的模式選擇》、《教師教育改革的理論、模式與實踐》等理論文章。雖然高師院校的改革模式各有特點,但都能緊緊圍繞適應基礎教育發(fā)展需要這一核心,將創(chuàng)新人才培養(yǎng)模式、強化實習實踐環(huán)節(jié)和教學能力訓練、提升學生的實踐創(chuàng)新能力和社會適應性等重點作為當前教師教育改革發(fā)展的方向。

English teachers play a crucial role in curriculum reform, as they are theagents for implementing the new concepts. Their devotion to and participationin the reform is essential to the process and completion. Without their willing-ness, understanding, cooperation and participation, there can be no changes@. In the eyes of many teachers, however, change is often not a positiveword. It brings rather stressful and even painful experiences as they have to"cope with both mental and emotional demands of relearning aspects of theirprofessional culture in order to be recognized as a competent professional usingthe new approach"@. "English teachers are expected to change in many aspects.First of all, they have to change their conceptions about the target languageand language education. Language teaching is not for knowledge imparting on-ly, but also for the development of automatic learners and whole persons. Sec-ond, they have to readjust their relationship with their students and give awaythe dominance power they used to have; teachers are expected to use moretask-based activities and put their learners in the core of learning.
