A Study of the Innovation of Teacher Education Concept

Abstract

Teachers’ educational concept is an important part of teachers’ quality, which reflects teachers’ understanding of education. Educational concepts are teachers’ personal views on education based on their subjective understanding of students’ developmental characteristics and the laws of educational activities in their daily life, educational teaching practice, and professional theoretical learning under a certain historical and cultural background. Teachers’ education concept affects teaching quality, students’ development, and personal development. It has a decisive significance for the smooth development of educational activities. The transformation of teacher education concept is affected by various factors. These are both internal and external factors, and its development is the inevitable trend and demand of the individual’s internal growth. Self-determination theory (SDT) plays a guiding role in analyzing the effective factors of teacher education concept change. The strategies for improving teachers’ teaching concepts are as follows: help teachers improve their teaching ability through teacher training, gain more autonomy, and thus enhance their educational concepts. In addition to these, meeting teachers’ related needs in cooperation, and cooperating to achieve the improvement of teachers’ educational concepts are also among the factors. The transformation of ideas is realized in the practice and reflection of education.
