Action Research for System and Network of Teachers' Professional Development on school site

在这个世纪，我们必须为知识社会建立新的学习。为此，需要新的学校和新的教师。探究、交流和协作是新学习的核心。新学校是共同探究的社区。新学教师是新学教育改革的促进者、协调者和共同学习者，教师专业发展是新学教育改革的重要因素之一。但是，普通的教育制度并不能促进教师的发展。大学教师教育系统分为多个学科的部分。他们没有明确的背景和教师发展的结构。另一方面，学校教师教育过于传统，过于生殖化。世纪的教育改革需要新的教师发展机制。本计画的核心是以学校重建为目的的合作行动研究。教师和研究人员在这种合作行动研究中共同工作和学习。在福井大学的初中项目中，项目主题是在学校培养探究共同体。合作学习的持续时间是影响合作学习效果的重要因素之一。我们必须建立合作的基础，共同工作和学习，反思这些作品，并重建这些循环。对于这些完整的周期，我们需要三到五年。要建设这一大跨度的工程，需要新型的教师发展机制。在本研究项目的基础上，我们提出了在学校所在地设立专业学校的方案。

In this century, we must build new learning for knowledge based society. For purpose, new schools and new teachers are needed. Inquiry, communication, and collaboration are core of new learning. New schools are communities of co-inquiry. Teachers for new learning are facilitators, coordinators, and co-learners in this process.For educational reform for new learning, teachers' professional development is one of most important factors. But ordinary educational systems can not work for teachers' development. Teacher education systems in university are divided into segments of a lot of disciplines. They have no clear context and structure for teacher development. On the other hand, teacher education in school is too traditional, and reproductive. New teacher development system is needed for educational reform in this century. Our project is for this purpose.The core of this teacher development project is collaborative action research for school reconstruction in school. Teachers and researchers work and study together in this collaborative action research. In project of junior high school of University Fukui, project theme is to cultivate community of inquiry in school. Duration of collaborative study is one of important factors. We must build base for collaboration, work and study together, reflect these works, and reconstruct these cycles. For these full cycles, we need three to five years. To build this long span project, new type teacher development system is needed. Professional school on school site is our plan based on this study project.
