On how to strengthen the construction of teachers in the traditional "dignity of teaching as a teacher"

The connotation of the traditional thought of "learning from others" The thought of "learning from others" was formed in the long historical process and is closely related to China's traditional culture and social structure. The connotation of the traditional thought of "the dignity of teachers' morality" mainly includes teachers' morality, teachers' morality and teachers' morality. About teachers' morality. According to the traditional view of education in China, only teachers with excellent moral quality are qualified to educate others, convince others and become role models for others to learn and follow. The so-called "its body is right, but it does not make; His body is not right, although he can't obey "and" he can't be right, just like a person "all reflect this meaning. The particularity of teachers in educational activities determines the importance of teachers' morality. Teachers are the main body of education, and their knowledge structure, ideological morality and emotional will can greatly influence the development direction of students. To cultivate moral people, educators should first be moral people. Based on this understanding, traditional education in China emphasizes that teachers should not only be "teachers of classics", but also be "teachers of people", requiring teachers to play an exemplary and guiding role in moral cultivation and life realm. About the master. Respecting teachers means emphasizing teachers' dignity and authority. Traditional education in China attaches great importance to the position and role of teachers. Mencius said, "Heaven descended on the people to be kings and teachers". Xunzi said: "There are three kinds of rites: heaven and earth are the foundation of life; Ancestors are the foundation of class; Jun and Shi are also the foundation of governance. " Xunzi also put forward: "If a country wants to be rich and strong, it must be valuable; If you are a teacher and attach importance to Fu, your statutes will survive. The country will decline, not as light as a teacher; If you are a humble teacher and you are lighter than Fu, you will be quick, and if you are quick, your law will be poor. " This raises teachers to the height of the rise and fall of the country. The Book of Rites also pointed out: "Strict teachers are difficult to learn. The teacher is strict and then respects the Tao, and the Tao respects and the people know how to respect learning. " Here, teachers are regarded as an important carrier of Tao. Only when the status of teachers is respected can the status of Tao be respected, and ordinary people can respect learning. About the post of teacher. Han Yu, a thinker and writer in the Tang Dynasty, clearly summarized the responsibilities of teachers as preaching, teaching and solving doubts in the article Teacher's Theory. This definition is representative. The so-called preaching is to teach students basic moral norms such as "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith". The so-called teaching is to impart professional knowledge to students. For example, Confucius takes "six arts" such as "etiquette, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics" as the main teaching content. The so-called solution is to give targeted explanations and guidance to students' puzzles and questions in their studies. Corresponding to the responsibilities of teachers, the ancients also put forward professional ethics such as caring for the poor, being ready to help others and being tireless in teaching others. It should be pointed out that the traditional "teacher dignity" is not only aimed at teachers or students, but at the whole society; Denying the dignity of teachers not only hurts teachers, but also weakens the authority of social morality. Therefore, only by placing the thought of "dignity of teaching as a teacher" in China's traditional cultural environment and social structure can we profoundly grasp its connotation. Dialectically treating the traditional thought of "respecting the dignity of teachers" has been greatly challenged in contemporary society. Especially with the advent of the information age, teachers are no longer the only source of knowledge, and classroom listening is no longer the only way to learn knowledge. The traditional teacher-centered classroom education model has been impacted to some extent. At the same time, the social value orientation and moral standards are increasingly diversified, and the ideas and values advocated by teachers are difficult to be recognized and accepted by all students; The education system and education management mode have undergone profound changes, the status of students has been improved day by day, and the relationship between teachers and students has also undergone great changes. So, how should we treat the traditional thought of "respecting the dignity of teachers"? The key is to have a dialectical vision. It should be noted that there are great differences in educational concepts and methods between China and the West. In western educational thoughts, the idea of "equality first" occupies an important position. This idea emphasizes the equal relationship between teachers and students, and teachers do not have moral authority. In western society, religious groups are responsible for hosting a large number of ceremonies and regular moral education activities, which have great influence and role in moral education. In this case, teachers bear less moral responsibility. However, in our tradition, religious forces and religious culture have no universal moral education function. In this way, the school not only becomes the temple of knowledge dissemination, but also becomes the important town of moral education; School education has become the basic way for students to accept the influence of civilization and shape perfect personality; Teachers are not only responsible for imparting knowledge, but also for moral education. This is a major feature of education and teachers in China. This feature has not changed fundamentally with the changes of the times. It is precisely because of these special positions and functions of China's education and teachers that the traditional thought of "dignity as a teacher" cannot be completely denied. In educational activities, awe plays an important role in the establishment of students' internal value order. In the new era, we can learn from the western concept of "equality first" and advocate and establish an equal relationship between teachers and students. But this kind of equality should be mainly the equality of personality and rights, not the complete equality between teachers and students. As the leader and mentor of students' study, life and growth, teachers must maintain certain authority. The awe and even worship based on this authority can often become a powerful driving force for the healthy growth of students. Of course, there are also some shortcomings and problems in the traditional thought of "teaching dignity". For example, teachers' sense of responsibility and mission is overemphasized, while students' sense of independence is neglected; Too much emphasis on the authoritative image of teachers, ignoring the equal dialogue between teachers and students; Too much emphasis on respect and awe of teachers will easily lead to students' personal attachment and absolute obedience to teachers; Wait a minute. Undoubtedly, these unreasonable factors should be abandoned. It is our correct attitude to treat the traditional culture of the motherland to carry forward the reasonable components of the traditional thought of "teaching dignity", persist in making the past serve the present, take its essence and discard its dross. We should also treat the traditional "dignity of teachers" with this attitude, actively absorb the reasonable components in it, and serve today's educational development. Strengthen the construction of teachers' morality. In today's society, social ideology and values are increasingly diversified, and the independence, selectivity, variability and differences of people's thoughts are constantly enhanced, and some decadent and backward concepts still exist. This brings challenges to both teachers and students. As "engineers of the human soul", teachers should earnestly pay attention to strengthening ideological and moral cultivation, strive to be cautious and self-disciplined, "enjoy poverty", love their jobs and be tireless in teaching others, and educate and influence students with a good image and noble personality. Rebuild the relationship between teachers and students. Nowadays, the relationship between teachers and students should be equal but unequal. The so-called equality means that teachers should communicate with students on an equal footing and deeply, and respect their independent personality, instead of condescending and unilaterally emphasizing their authority. The so-called inequality means that at any time, teachers should correctly grasp their position, conscientiously perform their duties and be good guides for students, instead of pandering to students blindly or even conniving at their wrong thoughts and behaviors. Improve the teacher system. Focus on building high-quality teachers, improve and perfect the corresponding system. At present, we should focus on two systems: one is the teacher access system and the other is the teacher evaluation system. (Southwest University School of Education Yi Li Anyun Ran Yahui)
