The Beginning Teacher's Search for Assistance from Colleagues
Keywords:
Beginning teachers, Collegial support, Teaching philosophy, Professional isolation, Elementary educationAbstract
Les données obtenues par entrevues et par observations participantes montrent que les professeurs qui commencent à enseigner au niveau élémentaire sont d'abord préoccupés par deux facteurs lorsqu'ils envisagent de faire appel à l'assistance de professeurs plus expérimentés. Les débutants demandent de l'aide premièrement à ceux qui enseignent à des élèves de même classe ou bien qui ont une conception de l'enseignement semblable à la leur. S'il leur est impossible de trouver ce genre de personne dans leur école, ils abandonnent tout espoir d'obtenir de l'aide de la part d'un professeur expérimenté et ils se débrouillent seuls. Ce rapport de recherche documente cette conclusion et en dégage l'impact sur le premier emploi d'un débutant.
