| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 教育學系教學科技碩士班 === 105 === This research investigates a native English speaking teaching (NEST) assistant’s perceptions of roles and professional relationships with partner local English teachers (LETs) in a prominent co-teaching program in Taiwan. Theories of inter-disciplinary collaboration guide this study, which identify the NEST assistant’s perceptions of aspects of co-teaching framed by themes in collaboration theory distilled by Montiel-Overall (2005a; 2005b). Using constant-comparative analysis, this descriptive study utilizes individual, transcribed interviews and bi-weekly reflection logs to formulate the NEST assistant’s self-perceptions of teaching roles and professional trajectories over the course of 11 months.
The extensive length of time for this study allows for multiple data collections, providing rich introspective depth and fine-grained resolution of dynamic forces acting on NEST assistants’ trajectories of professional collaboration with LET co-teachers.
