Utilizing a case study method and a Multiperspectival Approach,
this volume presents a pioneering, in-depth study about China's
teacher education policy since the 1990s. It critically
investigates the rational, dynamic and complex implementation
process taking place at the micro institutional level for the
transformations of teacher education institutions. The book first
introduces the sociopolitical and cultural background of China's
teacher education system and its challenges under the condition of
globalization, and illustrates major national initiatives for
nurturing highly qualified teachers. It then explores new teachers'
identities in an era of enhanced professionalism, uncovers the ways
they reflect China's teacher education reform, and distills the
rationales behind these policy actions. This is followed by an
analytic presentation of the findings of the case study of a
provincial normal university, with a particular focus on such core
pieces of the implementation jigsaw as policy flow, the dynamism of
implementation, sociopolitical and cultural confluence, and
institutional barriers in the complex process. Lastly, the book
unravels key recommendations and implications for policy
implementation studies from the China policy case, and constructs a
Chinese Zhong-Yong Model of policy implementation, and sheds new
light on policy studies of teacher education reform in particular
and public policy in general, which may be transferable to other
sociopolitical contexts seeking to nurture world-class teachers and
achieve educational excellence in a global age.
