First, the inevitability of the existence of teacher role models
1. Students have a strong "learning from teachers"
Students have a strong "teacher-oriented" nature, and teachers are the most direct role models for students. When students observe teachers, they often have a "magnifying effect": a little kindness from teachers will make them feel incomparable respect; The slightest flaw in the teacher will make them feel greatly disappointed. Teachers' behavior exerts a subtle influence on students, their attitude towards life and outlook on life. Therefore, a teacher's voice and smile, gestures, and even clothes and hairstyles may become examples for students to follow.
2. Teachers are important figures in students' growth.
Whether the teacher is liked by the students or not, the impression he left on the students is very prominent in their hearts. Every teacher is different, such as the way teachers prepare teaching plans and the way of classroom teaching; Teachers' methods to eliminate disappointment, mistakes and shame; Whether the teacher has a sense of humor, whether the teacher forgives and lets bygones be bygones, whether the teacher treats the students fairly and whether the teacher is honest; Whether the teacher is patient; Teachers' stupid jokes, teachers' hobbies, teachers' customary gestures and so on. They are all within the students' keen perception and are talked about by students. Like Robert. In the book "Children's Moral Wisdom", Kools concluded that children "witnessed" our lives, thus learning how to get along with others and how to make correct behaviors in this world. In this process, children gradually form a sense of identity with moral standards, and the motivation for this kind of learning comes from the memory of what they have seen and heard. Children are witnesses, and they always pay attention to the moral behavior of adults. It can be said that the teacher closest to students is the most important and indispensable moral educator in the process of students' growth.
Second, the role of teachers as role models in educating people
The definitions of "being a teacher by example" and "being a teacher by example" are not empty words, but run through the whole process of teaching and educating people, which is reflected in the process of teachers' ideological and moral education for students and their education in dealing with people. The influence of teachers' role models on students is an educational force that can't be replaced by any textbook, any moral proverbs and any reward and punishment system. It plays an irreplaceable role in the growth and development of students, the teaching quality of schools and the construction of spiritual civilization.
Makarenko, an educator, believes that the role of educators to the educated is to cultivate teachers' character and conduct education first, and then to cultivate scientific knowledge and skills. Only when students understand, trust and respect the teacher can they open their hearts to the teacher, and they will be willing to accept the teacher's teaching, listen to the teacher's opinions, accept the values and moral standards advocated by the teacher, and transform them into their own inner beliefs and will to grow and develop, and guide their behavior accordingly. Therefore, setting an example is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. A shaper of sound personality
The model education of teachers is to ensure that everyone enjoys the freedom to give full play to their talents, firmly grasp their own destiny with judgment, imagination, thoughts and emotions, develop their own personality more fully, and act with increasing autonomy, judgment and personal responsibility, "so that everyone can discover, develop and strengthen their creative potential" and "dig out the hidden wealth in each of us". Japanese educator Eiichi Shibata said that a teacher's career "depends on the teacher's personality image". Therefore, teachers should use their own personality to subtly influence students' character and virtue.
2. Leaders of future life
Violence still exists in today's world, and human history is like a history of conflict. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to expanding students' knowledge and understanding of others or other cultures and values, so as to help solve students' conflicts and disputes and teach students to learn to live together. Learn to know yourself, learn to find others, really put yourself in others' shoes to understand their reactions, and work hard to achieve the same goal.
3. Practitioners with good conduct
Teach students to effectively cope with the changing situation, practice what they have learned and participate in creating the future. Teachers should show curiosity, open mind, scientific spirit and scientific thinking method of respecting facts, show great interest in learning and teach students to think, so that students have a strong desire to work harder on a certain problem.
In a word, the core of teacher's role model education is to change from imparting knowledge to developing people, that is, to promote everyone's all-round development in body and mind, intelligence, sensitivity, aesthetic consciousness, personal responsibility and spiritual value.
Third, give play to the role of teachers as the main channel for educating people by example
1. Establish the "I-you" relationship between teachers and students
The promotion of human subjectivity and the enhancement of children's independent consciousness are historical inevitability, which also brings about new changes in the relationship between children and teachers. Children are regarded as the accessories of society or parents, without their own independent personality and personality value, and the era of absolute obedience to parents and teachers is gone forever. Education is no longer just "obedient" as a criterion to judge whether a child is good or bad. Children's sense of independence, initiative and criticism are enhanced, and they are not satisfied with the substitution and "cramming" arranged by teachers, nor with the unequal relationship in which teachers were above and students were obedient in the past. Teachers' past educational habits can no longer have a substantial impact on children, and children demand a more equal, democratic, friendly and harmonious relationship with teachers. This equal relationship between teachers and students is the premise for teachers to play their exemplary role in educating people.
Austrian philosopher Martin? Babel's exposition on education runs through an idea of restoring and establishing trust between people through the exchange and encounter between "you and me" and "people". "I-you" relationship is a kind of "interpersonal" relationship, and it is a relationship of equality and mutual trust in personality. To give full play to the role of teachers as role models, it is necessary to confirm the status of teachers and students in education and establish a "I-you" relationship between teachers and students, that is, teachers and students communicate with their unique personalities and equal status, which is an equal exchange between teachers and students with equal rights. On the basis of trust, the two sides can achieve the goal of education through dialogue and interaction. This idea of mutual respect, trust and equality between people is of great significance for us to correctly handle the relationship between teachers and children, give play to the role of teachers as role models, and play a good role in promoting the sound development of children's personality.
2. "example" is better than "words and deeds"
Generally speaking, teachers should first set an example, which is a good way of character education. But more importantly, words and deeds are not as good as examples. Because an important feature of character education is different from other aspects, it is not a general sermon, but a strong infection. This requires teachers to have prestige and set an example. However, this prestige does not come from the power of teachers in positions and positions, nor is it subject to the amount of knowledge, nor is it vivid in words, but the lofty prestige in thought and moral quality. It is difficult for teachers to educate students only by their own status and identity, or by their own knowledge and language. Even if you are forced to accept it, you can only listen but not smell, smell but not believe, believe but not act, and even have a rebellious mentality and deliberately do the opposite. This is not uncommon in our teaching. Therefore, as a teacher, we should pay special attention to the influence of "setting an example" on students' personality, and really play an example role for students in all aspects. Obviously, this puts higher demands on teachers. What students are required to do must be done first. Teachers must resolutely not do what students are asked not to do. If "words and deeds" are done well, sometimes "words and deeds" are not needed, and some of the most naughty students will consciously restrain their misconduct and accept our education convincingly orally, so as to achieve our desired goals.
3. Improve the social support system
The government conducts introductory training and vocational training for teachers through training departments to improve teachers' intellectual and non-intellectual qualities in order to meet social expectations. The quality of teachers has been greatly improved. In the future, when they educate students, they can cultivate their quality accordingly. In the process of training, efforts should be made to create conditions and various learning opportunities for teachers, such as getting in touch with experienced teachers and researchers, including working or studying in the economic sector for a period of time if conditions permit, discussing with the protagonists in family, economic circles, various societies and cultural life, and strengthening cooperation, so as to promote the knowledge learned to be close to the skills learned.
A large number of facts and experiences show that a qualified and excellent teacher who can play an exemplary role in educating people should be: a person who cares, understands, respects and trusts students; Is an example, is a teacher, let students trust, convincing; Knowledgeable, rich in content, can become a promoter of students' knowledge; It is not only a guide for students, but also a psychological doctor for students. It can help students to establish a correct world outlook and outlook on life, relieve their difficulties and guide them to grow up healthily.
