Abstract：Objective To develop a scientific,systematic and operational competency evaluation index system for primary and sec-ondary school special education teachers based on World Health Organization rehabilitation competency frame-work(RCF),integrating the inclusive teacher frameworks of United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO)and European Union(EU)as well as China's Professional Standards for Special Educa-tion Teachers(Trial).
Methods A core competency framework and content for special education teachers in primary and secondary schools was constructed based on RCF,using a systematic analysis of UNESCO and EU policy documents and the Minis-try of Education's Professional Standards for Special Education Teachers(Trial).On this foundation,a corre-sponding competency evaluation index system was developed.
Results The competency framework for primary and secondary school special education teachers comprised five compe-tency domains and two supporting dimensions,including 25 core competency modules and 59 evaluation points.The five competency domains were educational and teaching practice,professional ethics and values,profession-al learning and development,management and collaborative leadership,and educational research and innovation.The two supporting dimensions were professional beliefs and core values.
Conclusion The competency evaluation index system for primary and secondary school special education teachers em-phasizes educational equity,inclusive principles,and values of care and justice.It can be used for competency di-agnosis and assessment of teachers at different developmental stages,as well as for designing continuing educa-tion courses and professional development plans.
