Is educational conscience the highest state of teachers' professional ethics?
Professional conscience refers to employees engaged in special occupations, because they understand the requirements of society and have a clear sense of fulfilling their specific obligations in society. The so-called teachers' professional conscience is the special moral responsibility and moral self-evaluation ability formed by teachers in the process of fulfilling their obligations to students, parents, colleagues, society, schools and occupations. It is one of the important categories of teachers' professional ethics system, which is formed in the process of teachers' education. It is reflected in teachers' strong sense of moral responsibility and self-evaluation ability in their professional beliefs. If the teacher's professional obligation itself is an objective social mission, then the teacher's professional conscience can be said to be a sense of mission that teachers consciously realize and hide in their hearts. For a teacher, if moral requirements are not internalized and accepted, he can't correctly fulfill his moral obligations. In other words, teachers' professional conscience depends on their self-cultivation and self-education in educational practice. I. Connotation and characteristics of teachers' professional conscience (I. Connotation of teachers' professional conscience) Teachers' professional conscience can be manifested in every link of education. Its main connotation, I think, is conscientious, conscientious, caring for students and United teaching. "Due diligence" is actually the requirement of work responsibility and discipline. There are two important connotations of "due diligence" in education. The first one is from professional standards. Teachers' conscience requires teachers to abide by work discipline and perform their duties according to the requirements of society and education. Secondly, from the perspective of educational effect, professional conscience requires teachers not to mislead other people's children, but to do their best to achieve the best educational effect. Teachers who can't do these two things are dereliction of duty in a sense and will be condemned by professional conscience. The requirement of "conscious labor" is determined by the labor characteristics of teachers. First of all, teachers' teaching behavior is characterized by individuality and freedom. Because teachers' work is unsupervised in most cases. Although there are educational objects, because of the immaturity of students and the unequal relationship between teachers and students, students often do not have the ability to comprehensively supervise teachers' work and its quality. Secondly, teachers' work has no boundaries and boundaries in a sense. Therefore, whether teachers can consciously demand themselves is a decisive factor in the success or failure of teachers' work or the efficiency. Teachers must have the conscience to work consciously. Caring for students is the bounden duty of teachers. Teachers' love for students has its professional characteristics. This is that he must be responsible for the growth of the educational object. Teachers' love for students is different from ordinary relatives and friends, which is mainly manifested in "preaching, teaching and solving doubts" for students. Teachers' qualities become the most important symbol of whether they really love students. Teachers can't take a laissez-faire attitude towards the problems existing in students' development. When correcting students' shortcomings, teachers must fully consider that they can't dampen students' learning enthusiasm and inhibit students' personality growth. Modern society requires higher personality development than before, and teachers' conscience requires higher personality cultivation than before. "Joint teaching" is also an important part of teachers' conscience requirements. Teachers' labor has obvious personality in the process of their activities. But the achievement of educational effect is collective. The growth of students' personality and the improvement of students' knowledge and mental level are the products of teachers' joint efforts. Therefore, the teacher's peer relationship is not only the general colleague relationship, but also the essential requirement of professional ethics. The conscience of teachers and colleagues is not the conscience of general interpersonal relationships, but the direct component of professional conscience. The above four aspects of teachers' conscience reflect the moral relationship between teachers and society, teachers and themselves, teachers and students, teachers and colleagues respectively. The connection of these four aspects embodies the teachers' sense of responsibility and obligation to education, feelings and so on. (II) Characteristics of Teachers' Professional Conscience Compared with other professional consciences, teachers' conscience has two main characteristics: 1 and high level. The so-called high level means that teachers' conscience is higher than the general professional conscience in the realm because of the sublimity of teachers' labor and their own high consciousness of this lofty profession and its requirements. The concrete manifestations are as follows: First, after pre-service education and continuing education, modern teachers have a higher sense of educational moral obligation. Second, the education of conscience has a wide range of adjustment and higher requirements. We know that many other behaviors allowed by professional ethics may not be suitable for teachers. For example, people in society can dress in fashion, but teachers' clothes must be solemn, generous and relatively conservative, so as not to affect or distract students' attention. For another example, teachers' behavior must strive to reflect high cultural and moral cultivation, otherwise it will not be enough to set an example for students, and so on. Only when teachers meet the requirements of these professional ethics can they feel at ease. Although teachers are ordinary people, their professional conscience always reminds teachers of the higher cultivation requirements that teachers must pay attention to. This is an important feature of teachers' conscience. 2. The so-called strong education refers to the exemplary role of teachers' conscience, and the ultimate criterion for judging educational conscience is whether conscience really meets the requirements of education. There is no need to explain the exemplary role or educational function of teachers' professional conscience. Here, I will focus on the standards of educating conscience. Conscience is often in an intuitive state. Even in a rational state, conscience still has the characteristics of more perceptual choices. At the same time, conscience itself only exists as a kind of consciousness of the subject's moral obligation, and there are many ways to realize the requirements of conscience. Therefore, conscience itself and the way to realize it need to find the final test standard outside conscience. Of course, the ultimate criterion for testing teachers' conscience can only be whether the judgment made by conscience is beneficial to students' education. Second, the cultivation of teachers' professional conscience 1. To cultivate your professional conscience, you must have a high sense of responsibility. Sincerely loving the teaching profession is an educational project, which is to cultivate qualified citizens for the society and high-quality members for the family. The role of teachers requires teachers to be responsible to society, parents and students. This high sense of responsibility requires us to love our work and have a normal heart that is willing to be a ladder. We should regard work as a lifelong pursuit, take education as our responsibility, and put students in the first important position. With awe of educating people, I always think that anything I do may be related to a child's life. Calm down and pave the way for your child's tomorrow with your heart. "Without love, there is no education" is a truth that every teacher is familiar with. Teachers' professional labor needs a rich emotional world, and it is an emotional world full of love. Loving students is the emotional foundation of teacher education, and getting teachers' love is the general psychological need of students. With the support of love, we can finish the work consciously. Love should also have a just heart of patiently educating people. Every child is a different individual, but it is a complete world. In the face of uneven children, we should appreciate them with the beautiful mentality of "one flower, one world, one tree and one bodhi" and let them enjoy equal educational rights. 2. Cultivate your professional conscience and standardize your words and deeds. Teacher Ye Shengtao said: "All the work of teachers is to be a teacher." A teacher's personal accomplishment and image have a strong external demonstration and internal appeal for the development of students. Therefore, teachers in the new era should pay special attention to self-image design and establish a brand-new professional image of teachers. The basic requirements for teachers' image in the new era are not only reflected in teachers' clothes, dressing and appearance, but also in teachers' internal quality. In my opinion, as a teacher, his overall image should be that he has the ability to teach, know how to teach and teach well. 3. To cultivate your professional conscience, you must have affinity. Teachers' affinity is reflected in their affinity for students, parents and colleagues. Teachers' affinity is the concentrated expression of teachers' personality charm and good interpersonal relationship. The premise of establishing good interpersonal relationship is to treat people equally. Treat students equally and respect them in return for their support and respect. Abide by professional ethics, integrate knowledge with practice, and set an example for students. As a teacher, always remember that your students always pay attention to your words and deeds, just as you always pay attention to your students. Therefore, as a teacher, we should know how to be cautious and be a teacher. 4. To cultivate professional conscience, we should purify our minds and establish lofty professional ideals. Teachers are engineers of the human soul. And to shape other people's souls, we must first purify our own souls. As a teacher, we must first be a capitalized person and a noble person. It is the brilliant sunshine that shines on students' hearts and always embodies the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature. Therefore, as a teacher, we should set up lofty professional ideals and have our own noble personality. To cultivate one's professional conscience, one must use "love" to achieve one's wonderful teaching career. Teachers' "love" can be understood as "loving themselves" and "loving their profession". The two are inseparable. Only when a qualified teacher knows how to combine work with rest, improve the quality of leisure life, and cherish and safeguard his love, marriage and family can he have a good attitude and a healthy mental outlook to devote himself to education, which is the basic moral expression of "love and dedication". The so-called "beauty" includes "beauty of image" and "beauty of artistic conception". Teachers in the new era should not only dress appropriately and give people a sense of beauty, but also have a tolerant and beautiful heart, which can tolerate the shortcomings and faults of themselves and others. In short, if teachers want to cultivate their professional conscience, they need to shape themselves in all directions and improve themselves. We should pay attention to the accumulation, edification and cultivation of elegant aesthetic taste, strengthen study in daily life, broaden our horizons, enrich ourselves and improve our internal quality.
