Abstract: |
Studies of teaching reform of colleges have examined how teachers learn to change,
but have paid little attention to how grass-roots organizations or groups support teachers professional
development. This paper explores how Teaching and Research Groups (TRGs), one of these grassroots
organizations in Chinese colleges, functions as a formal instructional organization for teachers’
sustainable professional development and teaching reform. Drawing on interviews, documents
and data from statistical yearbook in China, the findings indicate that TRGs historically were
institutionalized as formal instructional organizations in 1950s, evolving as significant institutions to
provide full support for college teachers’ situated learning and teaching improvement. Historically,
TRGs played an important role in faculty’s teaching improvement and the organization itself has
undergone five developmental stages from the start-up period, the stereotype period, the recovery
the transformation period to its weakened period. Currently, TRGs are gradually marginalized in
colleges mainly because of the structural transformation movements in colleges, including the switch
of higher education development model, deviation of university functions, confusion of "Elitism" and
"Project Thinking" reform path and the intrinsic problems of TRGs. However, effective instructional
reform needs a grass-roots organization to provide institutional support for teachers’ development
in colleges. The practice of TRGs focuses on learning content and methods closely aligned with
classroom behaviors and contributes to building good teaching culture.The conclusion of this paper
advocates a return to the “past”, and indicates the necessity of renovating the instructional
organizations in each department in colleges. The paper further suggests the way of restructuring
TRGs of colleges based on a system contingency perspective. There are various aspects which
should be considered in restructuring TRGs of colleges: (1) Value sub-system: how to reconsider
the mission and vision of TRGs in colleges; (2) Technical sub-system: how to develop and refresh
the expertise in TRGs of colleges; (3) Structural sub-system: how to establish and improve the
norms of practices in TRGs of colleges; (4) Sociopsychological sub-system: how to nurture the
organizational culture in TRGs of colleges; (5) Managerial sub-system: how to collaborate with
other teaching and research systems in colleges. A systematic renovation will optimize the function
of TRGs and better for teachers’ teaching transformation in colleges in China. |
