Educational concept is the basic viewpoint and belief about education formed by teachers on the basis of their in-depth understanding of educational work. Whether there is a professional concept or not is an important difference between professionals and non-professionals. Only when teachers have a clear educational concept can they carry out their own educational undertakings with a high sense of responsibility.
Teachers should have the ability to adapt to the new curriculum reform as soon as possible. First of all, we should seriously study modern education theory, especially the theory of quality education, innovative education and basic education reform, change traditional educational ideas and concepts, and understand the birth background of new curriculum reform. Several active educational thoughts in the world today, such as "people-oriented", "education is an awakening" and "education should care for, respect and develop people", have been recognized. This is the ideological trend of socialization of learning and lifelong learning. These educational ideas expand the time and space of learning and emphasize the importance of learning attitude, emotion and learning methods. Therefore, as teachers, we should understand these concepts. When it comes to the implementation of the curriculum, the new curriculum advocates two theories, one is the theory of multiple intelligences, and the other is the theory of constructivism, which we teachers must focus on.
Secondly, teachers should be able to adjust their roles and change traditional educational methods. Teachers should change from traditional knowledge givers and student managers to promoters and helpers of student development; From simple teachers to pragmatic researchers and practitioners; From the protagonist of teaching activities to the instructor and collaborator of students' learning. In terms of educational methods, we should also embody people-oriented and student-centered, so that students can truly become masters of learning, not slaves of knowledge. In classroom teaching, teachers should help students reflect on themselves, stimulate students' desire for growth, help students discover, collect and use learning resources, design appropriate learning activities, help students discover the practical significance of what they have learned, create and maintain a positive psychological atmosphere in the learning process, help students evaluate the learning process and structure, and promote the internalization of evaluation. Teachers should be good at catching and stimulating the sparks of students' thoughts and learning inspiration, and discovering and tapping the potential of students' development.
Second, the ability to use teaching materials creatively.
The structure of teachers' professional knowledge is complex, which is not only manifested in a wide range of scientific and humanistic qualities, but also in the knowledge and skills of contemporary important tool disciplines. Teachers' professional knowledge is open and practical. Teachers should know the object of education and have the knowledge and skills of educational subjects needed to carry out educational activities and research. Teachers should not only grasp it at the subject level, but also learn to use it comprehensively. Creative use of teaching materials is a basic quality that a new teacher should have. The teaching experience of many excellent teachers proves that only by creatively using teaching materials can the perfect unity of teaching content and teaching methods and means be realized; Only in this way can the universality of teaching materials be organically combined with the particularity of teaching practice in this region; Only in this way can students' needs for learning content and teaching methods be met to the maximum extent, and the enthusiasm of both sides of teaching can be fully mobilized to improve teaching efficiency.
The specific requirements are as follows: (1) Teachers are required to further establish curriculum consciousness, re-examine and plan teaching objectives, contents and methods with a new curriculum view (students' view, textbooks' view and curriculum resources' view), and design teaching and treat students from a higher and broader perspective, not just limited to textbooks and temporary teaching effects. (2) Teachers should fully understand the importance of teaching objectives in the creative use of teaching materials. Every class and activity must have a clear teaching goal, otherwise it will be easy to formalize-activity for activity, experience for experience, rashly and deliberately change the content of teaching materials for creative use, and so on. The principle of coordination between teaching means and teaching objectives is the basic focus and destination of creative use of teaching materials.
Education is a creative work full of wisdom, not just a simple mechanical movement that operates according to established procedures. Teachers' professional wisdom is the product of comprehensive application of literacy and the crystallization of accumulation and sublimation of education and teaching experience. Only when teachers have educational wisdom can they feel the challenge of educational work, realize the transcendence of wisdom in overcoming the challenge, and then enjoy the charm of educational work.
Third, have the ability to master modern information technology.
In contemporary society, science and technology are changing with each passing day. With the intelligentization of computer and information science and technology, the globalization of information network and the informationization of national economy, it is imperative to take information technology as a modern teaching method. 2 1 century, "the concept of illiteracy will change fundamentally, and people who can't use advanced tools such as computers or search, process and use information resources will become the new illiteracy characteristics in the information age." Modern science and technology information technology has entered the campus to serve modern education. Considering that teachers must quickly adapt to the situation of scientific development and learn and master certain modern educational techniques, "one book, one mouth, one piece of chalk and one class" can no longer meet the requirements of modern education.
Fourth, have the ability of scientific research.
In order to cultivate high-quality talents, teachers should be good at upgrading their educational experience into rational knowledge through systematic summary. This is necessary for teaching and educating people, and it is also one of the symbols of educators' quality. With certain scientific research ability, on the one hand, educators should fully understand the history and present situation of the professional disciplines they are in charge of or teaching, study the educational history of their own countries, provinces and regions, understand the development process of local education, and master the trends and development trends of educational research at home and abroad; On the other hand, actively study educational science and related scientific knowledge, such as pedagogy, educational sociology, educational psychology and so on. Through theory to guide education and teaching practice, find out regular educational methods and master the law of human growth and development.
Suhomlinski said: "If you want teachers' work to bring fun to teachers, so that attending classes every day does not become a monotonous obligation, then you should guide every teacher to embark on the happy road of research. "Educational and scientific research ability is an essential ability of basic teacher education. Modern teachers should change from experience to scientific research and become new educational concepts, educational theories, educational contents, educational objects, educational methods, educational practitioners and researchers. In order to improve the teaching level and cultivate innovative talents to adapt to social development, the traditional practice of taking "teaching materials" as "teachers" has not adapted to the needs of modern education. Effectively improving students' quality urgently calls for teachers' innovative wisdom. Therefore, teachers must educate and teach as researchers, and discover and create through constant research and exploration.
Five, should have the corresponding professional ability.
One is the ability to understand and interact with others. This is necessary for teachers to effectively realize two-way communication with students, and it is also indispensable for today's increasingly socialized education and society. The object of teacher education is people, and it needs spiritual and emotional communication between teachers and students to guide students to grow up healthily and lively. At the same time, teachers are also a member of the working group, and they should have the ability to get along well with their colleagues and work together. Education involves not only schools, but also families and society, so teachers should also have the ability to communicate and cooperate with parents and relevant people in the community, thus forming an education that can work comprehensively and effectively.
The second is organizational management ability. General education is based on classes. Teachers must have the ability to manage classes and lead education and teaching activities if they want to give full play to the educational role of student groups on individuals, so that each student can display his talents, cultivate groups and adapt to group life.
Sixth, have the ability to learn.
Studying hard and enriching yourself is the basis of becoming a good teacher today. As teachers, unlike other experts, we need all kinds of knowledge, and it is difficult for a teacher with limited knowledge to really stimulate students' personality. The younger the child, the higher the expectation of the teacher, and the more he regards the teacher as an encyclopedia. In their eyes, teachers are omniscient. If teachers are ignorant, they are disappointed. Therefore, teachers should improve their knowledge structure and be a knowledgeable teacher. Now is the era of modern education. We should constantly learn and master modern educational technology and become teachers who can optimize the teaching process by using network information resources. The definition of new illiteracy by UNESCO is that modern illiteracy is a person who can't recognize modern information symbols and charts and can't use computers for information exchange and management. As a middle school teacher with modern education consciousness, we should keep pace with the times and master computer and network information technology to serve our teaching.
The future society is a learning society, which requires teachers to become lifelong learners. Swiss Charles and hummel once pointed out: "Lifelong education is the only education that can adapt to modern people and people living in a changing world and society. Such people must constantly adapt to new situations. " Grasping the pulse of the times and the direction of education reform, teachers must establish the concept of lifelong learning and improve their learning ability, so as to constantly update their educational concepts and knowledge structure, master scientific educational methods, improve teaching efficiency and meet the needs of modern education.
Seven, with occupational sensitivity.
As an excellent teacher, in addition to extensive knowledge and diverse abilities, he should also have the inherent qualities of quick response and energy. Just as journalists are good at capturing fleeting news shots and full of news sensitivity, excellent teachers should also have their own professional sensitivity, which is formed in the long-term educational career. The subtle sparks in students' thoughts, strange expressions on their faces, casual words in their mouths, and some unusual behaviors in their lives ... These seemingly ordinary little details will not attract the attention of ordinary people, but they can touch the sensitive professional nerves of excellent teachers and become a breakthrough in his work. He can see things in a subtle way, see the details of everything and nip problems in the bud.
Eight, we must have a strong sense of responsibility.
Zhou Ji, Minister of Education, believes that there are at least three responsibilities: First, post responsibility, that is, love and dedication, teaching and educating people, which is the essential feature of teachers' profession. The second is social responsibility. When people send their children to school, they pin their hopes for a better family on school. We teachers have the responsibility to teach, protect and train students well, reassure parents, promote educational equity and build a harmonious society. Third, state responsibility. China is a big country with a population of 65.438+0.3 billion. The grand goal of modernization requires transforming the heavy population burden into huge human resources. This transformation mainly depends on education, which is an important responsibility for the nation and the future.
Nine, we must have selfless dedication to love.
First of all, if you love students, you should know them. Understand their hobbies and talents, their personality characteristics and their spiritual world. Secondly, loving students means treating all students fairly. Thirdly, loving students means respecting students' personality and creative spirit, getting along with them on an equal footing, and stimulating their curiosity and creativity with their own trust and concern.
Ten, to have excellent psychological quality, to maintain a healthy body.
The psychological quality of teachers is directly related to the effectiveness of school education. The rational attitude of seeking truth from facts, enterprising spirit and healthy and stable emotional experience constitute the core of teachers' psychological quality. However, according to the survey, students in normal universities still have serious psychological problems, such as "weariness of learning", "test phobia", fragility, inferiority, depression and anger, which lead to individual psychological imbalance, cognitive impairment, behavioral anomie and self-injury. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out psychological education for normal students to resist setbacks and temper, and we must not slack off.
Thirdly, without a healthy body, teachers are difficult to be competent, especially middle-aged teachers, who have rich educational experience and great responsibilities. Teachers themselves should attach importance to the combination of work and rest and strengthen physical exercise. Party and government departments at all levels should be very concerned about the treatment and life of teachers, and ensure that teachers have a healthy body from all aspects such as material life to meet the needs of heavy mental work.
In short, the new curriculum reform puts forward requirements for teachers as education professionals, that is, teachers should be leaders of students' growth, awakens students' potential, promoters of students' knowledge construction, explorers of educational art and developers of school-based courses. As a new teacher in the 2 1 century, we should keep learning, exploring and improving in practice.
