Out-of-field Teaching: Sustaining Quality Practices Across Subjects

校外教学（没有资格的学科教学）在国际上越来越受到关注，这与人员流失、压力和学生学习成果下降有关。由于外地教师的比例相对较高，澳大利亚面临着巨大的社会、经济和教育成本。通过纵向案例研究的发展，本项目调查了三年来在学校制度文化中与教师分配、支持和校外数学和科学教学有关的教师观念和实践的变化情况。该项目的成果旨在为处理这一国际普遍问题的系统和学校政策和实践的发展提供信息。

Teaching out-of-field (teaching a subject without qualifications) is a rising concern internationally, and is linked to attrition, stress, and reduced student learning outcomes. With a comparatively high percentage of out-of-field teachers, Australia is exposed to significant social, economic and educational costs. Through the development of longitudinal case studies, this project investigates the changing landscape of teacher perceptions and practices over three years, within school institutional cultures relating to teacher assignment, support, and out-of-field mathematics and science teaching. Outcomes of the project will aim to inform the development of system and school policy and practice, in dealing with this internationally pervasive issue.
