Structuring Professional Dialogue through Protocols: A Study among Elementary English Teachers in Taiwan
Chien, Chin-Wen; Teo, Timothy
Educational Research for Policy and Practice, v21 n3 p357-373 Oct 2022
This study focuses on the integration of protocols into elementary school English teacher's professional dialogue and discusses the influence of protocols on teacher's teaching and learning. Based on the analysis of documents, observations, and interviews, this study concludes that the introduction of protocols to elementary school English teachers led them to discuss their classroom practice and gain professional learning in instructional strategies and student learning during the professional dialogue. However, English teacher's lack of experience in using protocols led to interruptions during the professional dialogue. Suggestions for effective protocol-based professional dialogue are provided.
