Teachers' external image requirements

Our country has the tradition of "learning to be a teacher and be a model". Zhu opposes teachers who are only good at reading, writing poems and fishing for fame. He emphasized that teachers should have the truth of morality, Taoism and art, give full play to the spirit of "teaching people tirelessly" and skillfully use the art of teaching and educating people. Educator Xu Teli believes that teachers are not only learned people, but also moral models. Teachers should not only teach questions, but also teach behaviors and how to behave. The so-called professional image of teachers is the external expression of teachers' comprehensive qualities such as thought, business, style and etiquette embodied in their educational work and life practice. It is a broad definition of the specific attitude and style of teachers' teaching behavior, which can reflect the expectations of the times and society for teachers, as well as the educational concept and value pursuit in a specific historical period. At present, China's basic education has entered the era of new curriculum reform, and primary and secondary school teachers will face brand-new curriculum culture and teaching situation. Teachers' professional image is a comprehensive external expression from the aspects of thought, morality, business, style and etiquette, and it is the impression and evaluation of students and parents on a specific teacher. This is a comprehensive concept, which has both external and internal manifestations. As teachers, different disciplines will shape their own different images, such as the elegance of Chinese teachers, the eloquence of political teachers, the delicacy of math teachers, and the artistic temperament of art teachers and music teachers. As a teacher, you should have elegant appearance beauty, lofty moral beauty and the beauty of both. Teachers should pay attention to the beauty of form, pursue the beauty of Tao and carry forward the beauty of style. Teachers' moral beauty should have the spirit of candle, and also have the functions of simplicity, kindness and trust. Teachers should also have external beauty, first of all, they should have profound professional knowledge, and second, they should have skilled professional skills. Teachers should also have a beautiful style. "Learning to be a teacher and be a teacher by example" is a praise and expectation for teachers. People's teachers shoulder the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people. Our every move, every word and deed will often inadvertently become the object of students' deliberate observation and imitation, which will have a subtle and far-reaching impact on students. Therefore, as a teacher, in addition to having the corresponding professional knowledge and skills, it is more important to have a noble professional ethics and pay attention to teacher etiquette, which is the concrete embodiment of a good professional ethics. Whether these professional images are internally important or externally important, specifically from three aspects: morality, culture and personality. First, the moral image of teachers-the most basic image ▲ "being a teacher"; "Be a teacher, learn to be a teacher". Emphasize the role model and demonstration of teachers. ▲ Dedication and upholding justice are the basic ethical requirements of the times for teachers' profession. Dedication is the concrete embodiment of teachers' sense of professional responsibility and mission. Without dedication, the nobleness and purity of teachers' profession will be lost. Justice means "fairness", "justice" and "rationality". Without fair education, students' minds will be out of balance and the value of "goodness" will be lost in the process of education. Second, the teacher's cultural image-the core of the teacher's image ▲ "A man of great talent" and "learning to be rich in five cars" are typical cultural characteristics of teachers. The traditional image has been severely challenged by the development of the times. The richness of cultural resources and the rapid development and aging of knowledge require teachers to constantly learn and adjust their knowledge structure; With the development of mass media, students have also become the owners of cultural resources, requiring teachers to provide students with time and space for cultural display and exchange; The requirements of the times to cultivate innovative spirit and practical ability, as well as the differences of students' personalities, require teachers to change the rigid image of teachers and actively participate in the tide of reform. Third, the teacher's personality image-the overall embodiment of the teacher's image▲ Personality is a person's overall psychological outlook. Specifically, it includes teachers' attitude towards students, teachers' personality, temperament, interests and so on. ▲ Teachers' personality image is the primary factor for students to get close to or alienate teachers. ▲ The ideal teacher's personality includes understanding of students, patience, cheerful personality, optimistic mood, strong willpower and a sense of humor. At present, teachers' professional image is not perfect and unified, which is mainly reflected in two aspects: (1) Teachers' function is single. Teachers are disseminators of knowledge. Under the standard of this professional image, it is both a teacher's duty and an obligation to impart knowledge. Taking students' "learning" as the highest pursuit realm is not only the expectation of students, parents and society, but also the psychological recognition of teachers' responsibilities by educational administrative departments at all levels, principals and teachers themselves. Teachers always appear in front of the world as owners and transmitters of knowledge. Over time, it has created a team of teachers who impart knowledge. However, we should also see that this basic function is not the only function. According to the characteristics of educational labor, teachers work with living people. Teachers should impart knowledge of a certain subject to each student. The process of this labor is meticulous, complex, systematic and special, which requires responsibility and creativity. Any rut and sameness may mislead others' children. Educational labor is a natural zone with creative characteristics, which makes teachers naturally have the function of creating knowledge. The problem is that for a long time, especially in the exam-oriented education mode, this function has been greatly weakened and even has a tendency to be cancelled. (2) authoritative teacher-student relationship. Teacher-student relationship is the cornerstone of traditional educational architecture. The traditional educational structure takes knowledge as the core, and the whole educational process revolves around knowledge. Teachers teach knowledge and students learn knowledge. Teachers are the embodiment of knowledge and the owners of scientific truth. Traditional education takes knowledge as the core, but in fact it takes teachers as the core. Teachers have always been regarded as the only legal owner, transmitter and interpreter of knowledge, and the only person who has the right to evaluate students' academic performance. In the traditional education system, system, concept and natural factors provide objective conditions for teachers to have authority. It is generally believed that teachers' authority is taken for granted and does not need to be demonstrated and explained. Teachers' prestige is automatically and unconditionally recognized by society. This authoritative relationship between teachers and students is reflected in the educational methods, that is, "teaching" is "teaching" and "being taught" is "learning". Teachers only "teach" people, not "teach" people; Just be a "teacher", not a "teacher". In modern school education, due to the strong wind of exam-oriented education, the role and power of teachers have been greatly demonstrated, making the authority of teachers increasingly prominent, and "authority" has become "power" to a certain extent. It is manifested in: arbitrary behavior in knowledge transfer, so that students do not question; Dogmatism in the process of cognition, that is, teaching all kinds of fixed knowledge and fixed moral beliefs without explaining the reasons, forcing students to memorize mechanically and ignoring their understanding of knowledge, and not giving students the basic methods to discover knowledge; Teachers abuse their power, arbitrarily punish and reward students according to their own likes and dislikes, and rely on various power means to make students in a state of submission and humility; Students are not properly guided according to their individual differences, but are evaluated according to some external standards, such as exam results. The result of this authoritative relationship between teachers and students is inevitably the rigidity or even degradation of the whole education, and the creative spirit of students is suppressed. Kindergarten teachers flogging children online is the best example. Teachers work with people, who are growing young students, and have great plasticity. Teachers' thoughts, personalities, words and deeds, manners, temperament and appearance are everywhere, which subtly educate, infect and influence students. Therefore, as a qualified people's teacher, we should pay special attention to the professional image, be "beautiful but cautious" and become a person with noble moral cultivation.
