ABSTRACT Teaching Assistants’ (TAs’) roles in mainstream English primary schools continue to evolve. Research suggests TAs play a vital role in managing behaviour and can have benefits for both teachers and children in relation to supporting positive behaviour in the classroom. However, there is a lack of clarityin what constitutes TAs’ role, particularly when their pedagogical contribution outweighs any other form of support provided to schools. With a lack of clarity in what constitutes the teachers’ and the TAs’ role, TAs’ responsibilities for managing behaviour are opaque. As a result, opportunities for TAs to manage behaviour can be reduced due to their concerns over undermining teachers. The research this paper draws on found TAs were often passive observers in relation to behaviour management as they did not understand how their role correlated to that of teachers’. The concept of what TAs in this research described as ‘knowing their place’ in relation to managing behaviour will be introduced and discussed. Strategies to support TAs in ‘knowing their place’ in a positive, as opposed to pejorative way in managing behaviour will be considered through a range of different approaches to their direct work with children and teachers. The paper then concludes with some ‘next steps’ for schools to consider in supporting TAs to affirmatively find their ‘place’ in managing behaviour.

一个好的助教是“知道自己位置”的人吗?

摘要 在主流英语小学中,助教 (TA) 的角色不断发展。研究表明,助教在管理行为方面发挥着至关重要的作用,并且在支持课堂上的积极行为方面对教师和儿童都有好处。然而,助教的作用尚不明确,特别是当他们的教学贡献超过向学校提供的任何其他形式的支持时。由于教师和助教角色的构成不明确,助教管理行为的责任不透明。因此,由于担心损害教师的利益,助教管理行为的机会可能会减少。本文借鉴的研究发现,助教在行为管理方面往往是被动的观察者,因为他们不了解自己的角色与教师的角色有何关联。将介绍和讨论本研究中 TA 所描述的与管理行为相关的“了解自己的位置”的概念。将通过一系列不同的方法直接与儿童和教师合作,考虑支持助教以积极而非贬义的方式“了解自己的位置”来管理行为的策略。论文最后提出了一些“下一步”,供学校考虑支持助教肯定地找到他们在管理行为中的“位置”。将介绍和讨论本研究中 TA 所描述的与管理行为相关的“了解自己的位置”的概念。将通过一系列不同的方法直接与儿童和教师合作,考虑支持助教以积极而非贬义的方式“了解自己的位置”来管理行为的策略。论文最后提出了一些“下一步”,供学校考虑支持助教肯定地找到他们在管理行为中的“位置”。将介绍和讨论本研究中 TA 所描述的与管理行为相关的“了解自己的位置”的概念。将通过一系列不同的方法直接与儿童和教师合作,考虑支持助教以积极而非贬义的方式“了解自己的位置”来管理行为的策略。论文最后提出了一些“下一步”,供学校考虑支持助教肯定地找到他们在管理行为中的“位置”。
