Based on the result of Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018, this study tries to obtain deep insight of teacher professional development in elementary schools by comparing data between Taiwan and international average. Elementary-school teachers in Taiwan spend less time on teaching, lesson planning, and teaching preparation than TALIS international average. However, they spend more time on general administrative work (including communication, paperwork and other clerical duties), marking/correcting of student work, and counselling students (including student supervision, mentoring, virtual counselling, career guidance and behaviour guidance). Adapted to qualitative research, it reveals that teachers’ profession development is by students’ family and administrative duties. As to teacher professional development activities, carrying out teaching plans, applying reflective teaching, joining professional learning communities and online professional learning communities, cooperating with other teachers play key roles in supporting and encouraging teacher professional development. |
