This study investigates the impact of an inquiry-based teacher education course in nurturing second language (L2) teachers’ research mindset, defined herein as their cognition and action toward research. One hundred and thirty pre- and in-service L2 teachers of various nationalities participated in a teacher education course on instructed second language acquisition (ISLA) at an Australian university. The course was designed following an inquiry-based approach, with course activities focused on promoting teacher learners’ curiosity about ISLA issues and their engagement both with and in research. Data were collected before, during, and after course participation, using a precourse survey, written reflections, and focus group interviews. Findings revealed that the inquiry-based course activities enabled the teacher learners to adopt a stronger research mindset. They were able to articulate the importance of research for teaching practice and gained firsthand experience as well as increased confidence in conducting research. They also showed inclination toward research-informed teaching and were keen to maintain their newly established favorable relationship with research, despite acknowledging concerns about their future actual research engagement, mostly due to time constraint and lack of institutional support. These findings suggest implications for nurturing language teachers’ research mindset within L2 teacher education courses.

在探究式语言教师教育课程中培养教师的研究心态

本研究调查了以探究为基础的教师教育课程对培养第二语言 (L2) 教师的研究心态的影响,在此定义为他们对研究的认知和行动。130 名不同国籍的在职和在职 L2 教师参加了澳大利亚一所大学关于指导性第二语言习得 (ISLA) 的教师教育课程。该课程的设计遵循基于探究的方法,课程活动的重点是提高教师学习者对 ISLA 问题的好奇心以及他们对研究和研究的参与。使用课前调查、书面反思和焦点小组访谈,在课程参与之前、期间和之后收集数据。调查结果显示,以探究为基础的课程活动使教师学习者能够采取更强的研究心态。他们能够阐明研究对教学实践的重要性,并获得了第一手经验,并增强了开展研究的信心。他们还表现出对以研究为导向的教学的倾向,并热衷于维持与研究新建立的良好关系,尽管他们承认对他们未来的实际研究参与感到担忧,主要是由于时间限制和缺乏机构支持。这些发现对在二语教师教育课程中培养语言教师的研究思维方式具有重要意义。他们能够阐明研究对教学实践的重要性,并获得了第一手经验,并增强了开展研究的信心。他们还表现出对以研究为导向的教学的倾向,并热衷于维持与研究新建立的良好关系,尽管他们承认对他们未来的实际研究参与感到担忧,主要是由于时间限制和缺乏机构支持。这些发现对在二语教师教育课程中培养语言教师的研究思维方式具有重要意义。他们能够阐明研究对教学实践的重要性,并获得了第一手经验,并增强了开展研究的信心。他们还表现出对以研究为导向的教学的倾向,并热衷于维持与研究新建立的良好关系,尽管他们承认对他们未来的实际研究参与感到担忧,主要是由于时间限制和缺乏机构支持。这些发现对在二语教师教育课程中培养语言教师的研究思维方式具有重要意义。主要是由于时间限制和缺乏机构支持。这些发现对在二语教师教育课程中培养语言教师的研究思维方式具有重要意义。主要是由于时间限制和缺乏机构支持。这些发现对在二语教师教育课程中培养语言教师的研究思维方式具有重要意义。
