IB Teacher’s Professionality in China and School Curriculum Reform: The Research on the Various Academic Background Teachers’ Performances in IB Classroom

摘要

This study explores the expansion of International Baccalaureate(IB)education focusing on teacher’s professionality in mainland China.The increase of IB schools over the past ten years results from strategies aimed at insertion of the IB into national education markets and its adaptation to different national systems.There is also an unintended percolation of the IB worldview and activities within national curricula and policies.These strategies and mechanisms are uncovered by tracking the embeddedness of the global IB in national education systems.
