چکیده | ||
Studying the role teacher care performs in education is necessary to address the human aspects of teaching. However, TEFL postgraduates have been a neglected cohort in most of the previous studies of teacher care. Therefore, this study investigated the role of caring teachers in TEFL postgraduate education based on the perceptions and experiences of postgraduate instructors and students. Accordingly, 20 students, both MA and PhD, and 6 postgraduate instructors were selected, through purposive sampling, from two state universities in Tehran. Conducting semi-structured interviews with both groups, data were collected and analyzed within the framework of interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA), as a qualitative paradigm. Due to the complex and contextual nature of teacher care as an abstract concept and still under-researched in TEFL, IPA was employed to provide an in-depth understanding about the role of caring TEFL instructors in postgraduate education. The findings revealed that caring instructors could perform a key role in strengthening postgraduates’ motivation and therefore enhancing their academic performances, creating a stress-free and peaceful learning environment, inspiring them to make transformative decisions in their lives, and their learning how to care in academic settings. This research has implications for instructors, teacher educators, and policy makers seeking to establish moral education at TEFL postgraduate level. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
مطالعهٴ نقش حمایت معلم در آموزش جهت اشاره به جنبههای انسانی و اخلاقی آموزش ضروری است. با این وجود، دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی رشته آموزش زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبان خارجی در اکثر مطالعات پیشین راجع به حمایت معلم نادیده گرفته شدهاند. بنابراین، در این پژوهش نقش معلمان حامی در تحصیلات تکمیلی رشته آموزش زبان انگلیسی بر اساس دیدگاهها و تجربیات اساتید و دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی بررسی شد. از این رو، 20 دانشجو از مقاطع ارشد و دکتری و 6 استاد از دو دانشگاه دولتی واقع در تهران و بر اساس نمونهگیری هدفمند انتخاب شدند. دادهها با استفاده از مصاحبههای نیمه ساختار یافته در چهارچوب تحلیل پدیدارشناسی تفسیری، به عنوان یک روش پژوهشی کیفی، جمعآوری شده و مورد تحلیل قرار گرفتند. جهت دستیابی به فهمی عمیق نسبت به نقش اساتید حامی در تحصیلات تکمیلی از تحلیل پدیدارشناسی تفسیری استفاده شد چرا که مفهوم حمایت معلم دارای ماهیتی پیچیده و وابسته به محیط و شرایط است و به عنوان یک مفهوم انتزاعی، در حوزه آموزش زبان انگلیسی از دیدگاه نظری کمتر بدان پرداخته شده است. یافتهها حاکی از آن بود که اساتید حامی میتوانند نقش کلیدی در تقویت انگیزهٴ دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی و در نتیجه بالا بردن کیفیت عملکرد آکادمیک آنها، ایجاد یک محیط یادگیری بدون اضطراب و مسالمتآمیز، الهام بخشیدن به دانشجویان در جهت گرفتن تصمیمات اثربخش در زندگی خود، و یادگیری نحوه حمایت کردن در فضاهای آموزشی توسط دانشجویان، داشته باشند. این پژوهش کاربردهایی عملی برای اساتید، مربیان تربیت معلم و سیاستگذارانی که در پی برقراری آموزش اخلاقمدار در سطح تحصیلات تکمیلی و در رشته آموزش زبان انگلیسی هستند، ارائه میکند. | ||
