Abstract

Digitalization has led to an enormous increase in the teaching and learning materials that teachers have at their disposal. This article aims to shed light on the ways in which teachers make use of a professional online community to help them navigate in today’s complex landscape of educational resources. The article is based on an investigation of the entries and responses during two months in a participant-driven Facebook group for English teachers in Norway. Content analysis was used to identify patterns in the material. While entries covered many issues, the vast majority had to do with the selection and the use of teaching and learning materials. Most entries were requests for help and advice which, in most cases, received considerable response from fellow teachers by way of concrete tips as well as personal insights and experiences. In this way, the group conveys a sense of solidarity, collective responsibility and a low threshold for teachers to ask for help. However, the activity in the group reveals a propensity for “quick-fix” solutions for insecure and time-poor teachers. Thus, the results point to the need for more thorough education related to the choice and the use of educational resources and calls for teacher education and further education initiatives to provide this.

Facebook是专业合作的舞台
数字化导致教师可支配的教学材料大幅增加。本文旨在阐明教师如何利用专业的在线社区来帮助他们在当今复杂的教育资源环境中导航。这篇文章是基于对挪威一个由参与者驱动的英语教师Facebook群组两个月来的条目和回复的调查。内容分析用于识别材料中的图案。虽然参赛作品涉及许多问题,但绝大多数都与教学材料的选择和使用有关。大多数参赛作品都是寻求帮助和建议的请求,在大多数情况下,通过具体提示以及个人见解和经验,得到了同行教师的大量回应。通过这种方式,该小组传达了一种团结意识、集体责任感和教师寻求帮助的低门槛。然而,该小组的活动揭示了一种倾向,即为缺乏安全感和时间匮乏的教师提供“快速解决方案”。因此,研究结果表明,需要在选择和使用教育资源方面进行更彻底的教育,并呼吁教师教育和继续教育举措提供这方面的服务。
