Teaching for a living is one of the oldest occupations in human society. In social development, teachers are the inheritors and disseminators of human culture and scientific knowledge. For students, it is also the developer of students' intelligence and the shaper of their personality. Therefore, people give people's teachers the lofty title of "Engineer of Human Soul".
In the process of education, teachers play a leading role. He is an educator, leader and organizer of students' physical and mental development. The quality of teachers' work is related to the physical and mental development level of the younger generation and the improvement of national quality, thus affecting the rise and fall of the country.
Teachers refer to both a social role and the undertaker of this role, generally referring to those who impart knowledge and experience. Teachers' duty is to learn to be teachers, to be respected and to be teachers.
Teachers are professionals who perform their education and teaching duties, and undertake the mission of teaching and educating people, cultivating builders and successors of the socialist cause and improving the quality of the people.
The role of teachers is not only to impart some textbook knowledge to students, but also to adopt specific teaching methods in a specific environment and promote students' growth through specific channels according to their development reality and educational goals and requirements. The role of a teacher is a complicated professional role. It takes a complicated and long-term learning process for a person to grow into this role.
Professional characteristics of teachers:
First, the quasi-publicity of professional image. Although teachers are not completely public figures like politicians and artists. But also exposed to the attention of students, parents and the community, we should be good at shaping and maintaining our positive image.
Second, the occupational environment is relatively closed.
Thirdly, the fuzziness of job performance.
Fourth, professional benefits. Teachers' labor achievements can not be measured by economic indicators, and teachers' labor treatment also has considerable benefits, so-called welfare. One is that the treatment of teachers is relatively low, and the other is that the treatment of teachers is relatively stable.
Fifth, the implicit inequality between teachers and students. Although from a legal point of view, teachers and students are equal subjects of rights and obligations; From the ideal pursuit of education, teachers and students should also become equal interlocutors.
However, in practice, due to the influence of traditional ideas, especially the advantages of teachers in physical strength, intelligence, knowledge and social status, the relationship between teachers and students is naturally unequal. This kind of inequality may be something that many people are afraid or unwilling to admit, but it is extremely hidden and stubborn.
