This study aims at investigating the teaching competencies of Chinese teachers and their competence disparity under the global contexts, and inventing a plausible tool. An IB-PCK questionnaire, established on Shulman's idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge, and integrated with the teaching philosophy and standards of the International Baccalaureate (IB), was used to investigate the competence disparity perceived by in-service teachers, and to reveal the gap between what has been acquired and equipped in the teacher education, and what is needed in the classroom nowadays. The results of the investigation also provide some suggestions to the improvement of the teacher training for in service teachers. In this study, the IBPCK questionnaire has been designed and delivered through Google Documents, and 382 valid results are received and analyzed. As a result, those Chinese teachers generally perceive the greatest competence disparity in teaching method, while the least in content knowledge. The rest of these domains are teaching objectives, instructional assessment, curriculum design and. Through the discussion of the competence disparity of in-service teachers, not only can we discover the significant distance between what in-service teachers perceived and what they are asked to prepare in Teaching Chinese as Second Language (TCSL) courses. We can also reinforce the curriculum of pre-service teacher education. |
