Are teaching researchers really better than teachers?
Teaching researchers and teachers play an important role in the field of education, but their responsibilities, roles and abilities are different. So we can't simply say that teaching researchers must be better than teachers or teachers must be better than teaching researchers. The following are some comparisons between teaching researchers and teachers:

Responsibilities: Teachers are mainly responsible for teaching course content, guiding students' learning and evaluating students' learning progress and performance. Teaching researchers are mainly responsible for the research, analysis and improvement of education and teaching, providing professional development support for teachers and promoting the improvement of education and teaching quality.

Role: A teacher is a teacher who directly faces students and needs strong communication skills, organizational skills and teaching skills. Teaching researchers are professionals who indirectly participate in teaching. They need to have knowledge of educational theory, research methods and data analysis ability.

Ability requirements: Teachers need to have rich educational experience, subject knowledge and teaching skills in order to better meet the needs of students. Teaching researchers need to have knowledge of pedagogy, psychology, statistics, etc. in order to carry out effective education and teaching research and improvement.

Growth path: Teachers' professional development mainly depends on the accumulation of teaching experience. With the improvement of education level, you can gradually be promoted to senior teachers, class teachers and other positions. The professional development of teaching and research staff pays more attention to academic research and the improvement of professional quality, and can serve as the leader of teaching and research group and the director of educational administration.

In a word, teaching researchers and teachers have their own advantages and characteristics in the field of education, which cannot be simply compared. For an individual, choosing a researcher or a teacher depends on his interest, ability and career planning. If you are interested in educational research and teaching improvement, then becoming a teaching researcher may be more suitable for you; If you like to interact with students and pay attention to their growth and development, then becoming a teacher may be more in line with your expectations.
