國際調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn):上海老師水平最高
上海市的初中老師教學(xué)方法多樣、堅持全面發(fā)展、專業(yè)水平夠格，因此專家評定上海的初中教師是世界上最優(yōu)秀的教育者。
The assessment came after local teachers scoredhighest in 12 indicators in an international survey.
上海老師得到這一高度評價是因為他們在一項國際調(diào)查中獲得了12個指標的最高分數(shù)。
The city attaches great importance to cultivating first-class teachers and giving themrewarding career opportunities, said Zhang Minxuan, director of the Research Institute ofInternational and Comparative Education at Shanghai Normal University.
上海師范大學(xué)國際比較教育研究中心主任張民選說，上海市高度重視一流教師的培養(yǎng)，并且給予了優(yōu)越的就業(yè)機會。
In addition to the 12 indicators, such as efficiency of lessons, encouraging students to beengaged in classes, and professional training, Shanghai teachers' overall performance innearly 40 indicators far exceeded the international average standard, the survey found.
調(diào)查還顯示，上海教師不僅在12項指標(包括課程效率、調(diào)動學(xué)生積極性、專業(yè)能力等)中獲得高分，在其他近40個指標中，其分數(shù)也遠遠超過了世界教育者的平均水平。
It was carried out by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
本項調(diào)查是由經(jīng)濟合作與發(fā)展組織進行。
Nearly 4,000 Shanghai teachers from 199 junior high schools responded to the survey, whichalso polled teachers in 37 other countries and regions, including Australia, Italy, Singapore andJapan, over the past three years.
近三年以來，有來自上海市199所初中的近4000名教師參與了此次調(diào)查。調(diào)查還涵蓋了澳大利亞、意大利、新加坡、日本等37個國家的教師。
In an interview run by the journal Shanghai Education on WeChat, Karine Tremblay, directorof the survey project, said Shanghai teachers have in-depth exchanges between peers, whichhelps them to "grow together on a fast track".
在《上海教育》雜志舉辦的一次微信訪談中，調(diào)查項目負責(zé)人卡琳•特倫布萊說，上海的中學(xué)教師們與同行進行了深入的交流，這幫助他們“相互促進、快速進步”。
"We found that many initiatives concerning teachers' professional development implementedin Shanghai can serve as world models," she said.
“我們發(fā)現(xiàn)上海市實施的某些提高教師專業(yè)水平的措施可以在世界范圍內(nèi)奉為典范。”
In the OECD's 2012 Program for International Student Assessment, Shanghai students toppedthe ranks in math, reading and science tests in competition with those from dozens ofcountries.
經(jīng)濟合作與發(fā)展組織在2012年進行了一次國際范圍的學(xué)生評估。評估顯示，與數(shù)十個其他國家的學(xué)生相比，上海的學(xué)生在數(shù)學(xué)、閱讀和科學(xué)實驗方面的能力遙遙領(lǐng)先。
This helped to generate the BBC documentary series Are Our Kids Tough Enough? ChineseSchool, which was broadcast in August.
這使得BBC開始了《中國老師來了》系列紀錄片的制作，該紀錄片于去年八月播放。
In the series, five Chinese teachers took over a class of 50 teenagers at a school in southernEngland and taught them in a traditional Chinese way - no talking, no questions, and withlessons focused on note-taking and repetition. The documentary sparked heated debate onthe teaching styles in the two countries.
在這一系列紀錄片中，五個中國老師接管了英國南部一個有50名青少年的班級，他們用傳統(tǒng)的中國方式來進行教學(xué)——不許講話、不許提問，上課方式以記筆記和重復(fù)記憶為主。這部紀錄片引發(fā)了人們關(guān)于兩國不同教學(xué)方式的激烈討論。
"But the survey results showed that it could be a different story with Shanghai teachers,"Zhang said.
張民選說：“但是調(diào)查結(jié)果告訴人們，上海的老師們有一套不同的訓(xùn)練方法。”
The survey found that teachers who said that thinking and reasoning are more importantthan passing on knowledge to students accounted for 96 percent of the respondents, thehighest proportion globally.
調(diào)查顯示，96%的老師認為思辨能力的培養(yǎng)比獲得知識的多少更重要。持有這種想法的老師比例是全世界最高的。
Zheng Yiwen, a math teacher at an elite high school in Shanghai's Changning district, said: "We prioritize giving students opportunities to think over methods to solve a question bythemselves, pair discussions and group work. ... Moreover, we encourage them to givemultiple answers to a question."
來自上海長寧區(qū)某重點中學(xué)的數(shù)學(xué)老師鄭逸文說道：“我們非常重視讓學(xué)生思考，通過相互討論和小組合作讓他們自行解決問題。同時，我們還鼓勵他們對一個問題做出多樣解答。”
The survey also found that all teachers in Shanghai receive in-house training, with a veteranteacher as a one-on-one instructor.
調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)，上海所有資歷較淺的教師都會接受內(nèi)部培訓(xùn)。教學(xué)經(jīng)驗豐富的老師會對他們進行一對一的指導(dǎo)。
The proportion of teachers often observing other teachers' classes was 99 percent, the world'shighest.
另外，上海教師之間相互觀摩課程的比例也最高，約為99%。
