Abstract
Docentontwikkelteams hebben ondersteuning nodig om kwalitatief goede leermiddelen te kunnen ontwikkelen. In dit onderzoek staat de ondersteuning aan docentontwikkelteams bij het vergroten van curriculumontwikkelexpertise centraal. De ondersteuning van drie docentenontwikkelteams waarbinnen docenten gezamenlijk leermiddelen ontwikkelen is onderzocht via een meervoudige casestudie. De resultaten laten zien dat de beoogde ondersteuning sterk afhankelijk is van de voorkeuren van de ondersteuner en de context waarbinnen de ondersteuning aangeboden wordt. Onderscheid kan gemaakt worden tussen meer proactieve en meer reactieve ondersteuning. De ervaringen van docenten met de ondersteuning laten zien dat docenten kritisch zijn over zowel de pro- als reactieve ondersteuning. Docenten van docententeams die reactieve ondersteuning hebben ontvangen laten een significante groei zien in hun vaardigheden om ontwikkeluitdagingen op te lossen. Concluderend lijkt het vinden van een goede balans tussen pro- en reactieve ondersteuning essentieel om de curriculumontwikkelexpertise van docenten in docentontwikkelteams te bevorderen.
Teacher design teams require support to develop good quality curriculum materials. This study focuses on the support teachers receive to develop their curriculum design expertise. Support offered to three teacher design teams, who collaboratively developed curriculum materials, has been investigated using a multiple case study. The results indicate that the intended support strongly depends on the facilitators' preferences and the context in which the support is offered. A distinction can be made between more proactive and more reactive support. The experiences of teachers regarding the support indicate that they are critical about both the proactive and reactive support. Teachers who received reactive support show a significant growth in their skills to tackle develop challenges. In conclusion, finding a good balance between proactive and reactive support is essential to foster teachers' curriculum design expertise.
