Abstract:
Home-school-community collaborative education in China faces a “formalization” dilemma: policies are actively formulated, yet practices remain tepid; collaborations are easy to initiate but difficult to sustain. This study takes Dongsheng District’s “Whole-Area Mental Health Education” model from 2013 to 2023 as a case, employing action research methods to explore the micro-mechanisms of sustainable collaborative education. The findings reveal that the key to collaborative education lies not in institutional design, but in whether participants—particularly mental health education teachers—can achieve a professional identity transformation from “marginalized individuals” to “experts.” Through the “135” teacher development model, Dongsheng District provided teachers with a three-stage pathway of “cognitive restructuring—practice empowerment—identity validation,” transforming teachers from passive policy implementers into core nodes of collaborative networks. This discovery offers a new perspective for understanding the “black box” of home-school-community collaboration and provides a replicable pathway for building education systems in resource-constrained regions.
家校社协同育人在中国面临“形式化”困境:政策热、实践冷,协作易启动、难持续。本研究以东胜区2013—2023年“全域心育”模式为案例,采用行动研究方法,探讨协同育人可持续性的微观机制。研究发现,协同育人的关键不在于制度设计,而在于参与者——特别是心理健康教育教师——能否实现从“边缘人”到“专家”的专业身份转换。东胜区通过“135”教师成长模式,为教师提供了“认知重构—实践赋权—身份确认”的三阶路径,使教师从被动的政策执行者转变为协同网络的核心节点。这一发现为理解家校社协同的“黑箱”提供了新视角,也为资源薄弱地区的育人体系构建提供了可借鉴的路径。
