With the implementation of lifelong education, the function of school education will change greatly. The responsibility of schools is no longer to prepare young people for concrete life, but to prepare them for further study. The main function of the school is to educate for continuing learning and to give students the interest, motivation, knowledge and ability necessary for lifelong learning. The concept of lifelong education puts forward many new requirements for the purpose, method and content of school education. Teachers in the 2 1 century should be able to understand these requirements in time and accurately and organize and design teaching accordingly, instead of thinking about problems in narrow school education.
Second, we should establish a new democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students.
In the future society, students will get information from many sources. The relationship between teachers and students is neither simple command and obedience, nor the relationship between imparting and receiving knowledge. But to establish a new, democratic and equal cooperative relationship. By then, teachers will not force students to learn anything, nor will they present ready-made knowledge to students intact. Instead, they will actively guide students to explore independently and gain the initiative of students. Students' independent personality will be fully exerted, and the role of teachers will not be weakened, but there will be higher requirements.
Third, we should have extensive knowledge and skills and become the undertaker of various educational functions.
In quality education, expanding students' knowledge and improving their skills will become one of the important goals of education and teaching. Therefore, teachers should first master extensive knowledge and skills. Teachers should not only teach cultural and scientific knowledge, but also help students learn practical technology and guide them to live healthily and effectively. We should not only be able to speak, but also use modern teaching instruments, especially computer-aided teaching technology. We should also cooperate with parents and people from all walks of life who care about education, make full use of various educational resources and educate students in all directions.
Fourth, we must have a high sense of professionalism and responsibility, as well as excellent qualities such as pioneering consciousness and creative ability.
Teachers' working attitude and ability are the key factors that determine the ultimate success or failure of educational reform. Teachers' every move not only affects teachers' own work effect, but also directly affects students' behavior and attitude. To cultivate students' enterprising spirit, pioneering consciousness and innovative ability, teachers must first possess these qualities.
In short, teachers should fully realize that it is difficult for students to learn what teachers are unwilling or unable to do; The qualities that teachers don't have are also difficult to cultivate in students. Teachers should have what students want, and teachers in 2 1 century should be ahead of students in 2 1 century.
