-- Talking about the shaping of a good image of teachers

(4240 words)

Comenius said, "There is nothing nobler under the sun than the profession of a teacher", a famous quote that spoke highly of the profession of teaching. Every teacher should realize the greatness and nobility of his or her profession, and at the same time realize how sacred and great his or her responsibility is. Today, it is a brand-new era of information technology and knowledge-based economy, and China is again in the upsurge of reform and opening up, and its comprehensive national strength urgently needs to be improved. In order to be invincible, the construction of the four modernizations must have China's innovative projects. Without teachers, it is impossible to talk about the improvement of students' quality and innovative spirit, let alone become a new force in the construction of the four modernizations with both ability and political integrity. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to have a large number of excellent teachers, especially those with high morals and high quality.

"Teachers, as disseminators of human knowledge and spiritual civilization, have a special moral significance in their own image than their profession. It is not only related to the personal educational prestige of teachers, but also directly related to the overall interests of education and the physical and mental health of students. This passage emphasizes the importance of a teacher's self-image, especially the importance of professional ethics. Every teacher should pay attention to the cultivation of their professional ethics and the shaping of their self-image.

Liu Bin, former deputy director of the State Education Commission, said: "At present, the more prominent problem in the teaching staff is the problem of ideology, morality, and quality, that is, the problem of 'teacher morality'. Under the impact of the tide of commodity economy, some new situations and new problems have also emerged in the ranks of teachers that cannot be ignored, and this cannot but cause people to worry and regret. ”

What are the specific phenomena?

First, lack of cultivation and low character.

In October 1999, the China Youth Daily published an article by a high school girl entitled "Teacher, Why Do You Want Me to Look Down on Me?" in which her homeroom teacher refused to change her seat because she did not "burn incense." In a certain city in the north, a key high school needs to pay 300 yuan to the head teacher for a seat adjustment. A female teacher lost her fountain pen and inspired her students to pay for it...... These phenomena can't help but remind people of Cheng Kejie, Lai Changqing, and the like, how much difference is there between such teachers and corrupt elements who extort money and take bribes?

Second, violence and corporal punishment of students.

Teachers are supposed to move people with emotion and convince people with reason, but some teachers do the opposite, beating and physically punishing students. Because he didn't finish his homework, Teacher Nie hit Zhang Bo, and as a result, Zhang Bo foamed at the mouth and died with a whimper; Zhao Limin accidentally hit the ball on Teacher Zhou, and Teacher Zhou killed Zhao Limin in a fit of rage; a teacher in Zunyi forced students who violated discipline to eat feces, and some teachers punished students for kneeling and swallowing flies...... This kind of non-human practice, which is like a teacher who teaches and educates people, is simply a landlord, a bully, and a hooligan!

Third, mental abuse is as cold as ice.

Teachers should also be like kind mothers, giving students rain, dew and sunshine, so that children can bathe in warmth and be cared for. However, there are those who are sarcastic and sarcastic to students, there are those who discriminate against poor students by naming them "ugly", and there are even more ...... who mobilize the whole class to isolate one

As a result, the children are depressed and depressed, cowardly, inferior, and even stupid and crazy.

Fourth, dealing with dereliction of duty will have serious consequences.

Look, how hateful and ridiculous: let parents supervise students to do homework and sign, let parents do dictation and memorize. What's more, the self-study teacher did not go to work at night and hired the little hooligan as the honorary class leader to take care of the students, and the little hooligan stabbed the students with knives, resulting in one death and one injury......

Enough is enough! In the above-mentioned cases, the phenomena of teachers' "lack of morality" are really shocking and painfully broken! The extent to which teachers' morality has deteriorated is simply outrageous and unbearable! Some people rank up the "four major blacks" in society: the traffic police force of the Taxation Bureau and the people's teachers' underworld. In the late 90s of the 20 th century, the issue of teachers' ethics became the focus of people's attention, and the repercussions were strong, and a certain newspaper shouted "Come back, teachers' ethics!" On 4 November 2000, the CPC Central Committee also issued an order for the building of teachers' ethics!

Yes, teachers should cultivate their professional ethics and create a good self-image. Zankov said: "The profession of teacher requires a person to have many things, one of which is to require self-control", how to create a good image of teachers in the practice of education and teaching?

Combined with your own education and teaching practice, talk about ways and methods.

(1) Improve the quality of teachers and teachers

Confucius said: "His body is upright, and he does not give orders." His body is not right, although he does not obey orders. "For the sake of the healthy growth of students, teachers should not only constantly enrich their manners, speech, style, and treatment of others, but also influence and shape students' conduct with their own good image of internal and external unity, so that students can truly understand that beauty is a powerful source of moral purity, spiritual enrichment, and physical soundness." ”

That's what I've done in my education for more than 30 years. It is often said that teachers are the engineers of the human soul, and the meaning of the word "soul" is extremely profound. In order to shape people's spirits, teachers themselves must have a noble soul and noble moral sentiments. Specifically, this means that a teacher should love the party, socialism, and be loyal to the people's educational cause. For more than 30 years, I have always loved my profession, done my duty, and never changed my mind. I feel that being a teacher is my lifelong vocation and a necessary track in my life's destiny. I often confide in my students, so that they have been influenced by love for the party and dedication. Noble morals and good sentiments also refer to the quality and behavior of teachers themselves. The ancients said: "His body is upright, and he does not obey orders", emphasizing the importance of being a teacher. "Being a teacher means that teachers emancipate their minds and seek truth from facts. Under the guidance of the ideological line that practice is the test of truth and the development of truth, comprehensive cultivation should be carried out in accordance with the specifications of the overall quality of teachers, and students should stand in front of students with a comprehensive image of teacher morality, teacher ability, and teacher behavior. The content of the "Teacher List" includes two aspects: "learning to be a teacher" and "behavior demonstration". "Learning as a teacher" means that "the teacher's ideological and political quality and moral law and discipline as the premise and foundation of the political direction, moral sentiment, will and character, as well as instructions and behaviors, style and appearance, to show students an excellent model of life, so as to move people with virtue and character." "I think a teacher should not only educate students by words, but also influence students by example. This "teaching by example" concretely embodies the deep meaning of "being a role model". Teachers are role models for students and should "exemplify" their students with their own noble behavior. For more than 30 years, I have always been strict with myself, taking the lead in setting an example everywhere, consistent with my words and deeds, treating others sincerely, behaving well, and being helpful. Another point is to improve the quality and erudition, which is also very important. "Teacher, preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts", this "preaching and receiving karma" must be excellent in knowledge. If you have a narrow range of knowledge and don't know anything, students will not admire you and respect you. Therefore, a teacher should be rigorous in his studies, study hard, there is a good saying, "the mountain of books has a diligent path, and the sea of learning is endless", if you want to be knowledgeable, in addition to learning the knowledge of this subject, you should also extensively dabble in other subject knowledge, and you must achieve "three abilities and one meeting". In this way, in order to be "at ease" in teaching, in order to successfully complete the education and teaching tasks, in order to create a good image of teachers.

(2) Do your best to feed peaches and plums

The first part talks about creating a good image of teachers from the perspective of "exemplary", and this part talks about creating a good image of teachers from the perspective of "dedication", which is also very important. Some people use Li Shangyin's poem "The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry" to describe the selfless dedication of teachers, so as to realize their own value and professional value.

In this regard, I will make two points.

1. Dedication of love

Dedication and love are mainly reflected in the love for students, which is a minimum measure for a harmonious relationship between teachers and students.

"Students' acceptance of teachers' teachings or requirements often has to go through a process of emotional filtering or catalysis", that is to say, "affection and courtesy", "kissing the teacher", and "believing in the way". On the contrary, "if the teacher lacks love, the teacher-student relationship is indifferent, the psychological gap between the two sides is serious, the student is unwilling to confide his joy and pain to the teacher, and the door of the soul is locked, no matter in this case, no matter how much education is in vain, and even the teacher's requirements will be rebellious", "Therefore, education can only be effective if it starts from the true love for students." ”

The above is a discussion of the importance of the teacher-student relationship, emphasizing that teachers should dedicate their love to their students as if they were their own children. Decades of education and teaching practice have also confirmed the correctness of this view. Usually, I am like a loving mother to my students, warming their hearts like a spring breeze, making them like you, approaching you, and talking about nothing with you. Guo Yue, a graduate in 1999, regarded me as his mother, and whenever there was a burden on his thoughts, he would talk to me, and I would unravel his ideological knots one by one.

A teacher's love for his students can give them a sense of agency and turn them into great mental strength to engage in their studies. At the same time, students think that you are amiable and respectable, and your good image is not created.

Students should be treated equally, love both the "Golden Phoenix" and the "Ugly Duckling", and love more to meet the special needs of their growth. Some teachers do not treat students equally, and they focus their eyes on the powerful students of their parents and look down on the children of workers and peasants; some give love to the top students and carefully nurture them; and they are cold and sarcastic to the students with double differences. I don't, and the students say I don't have to look at people with colored eyes, and I don't look at people putting food on their plates. Teachers should solve problems for students, so that they are not derelict in their duties and are worthy of being teachers. I dredge Cui Lina, who is stuck in her studies, I sponsor Zhang Haifeng, who has difficulties in life, and Wang Zhanyong, who is physically ill, I comfort ...... Students are also flesh and blood with thoughts and feelings, and if you do this, they will not fail to understand and be grateful, and they will always remember you - "A teacher for one day, a father for life." ”

In short, "love is an external factor that can develop healthily in a person's body and mind", "although the teacher's love is an external condition for students, because it can promote students' positive emotional experience, it can be transformed into the internal motivation for students to receive education", "love for students is the emotional foundation and premise of doing a good job in education and teaching", therefore, dedication to love is extremely important, you do this, can your image not be good?

2. Carefully cultivated

The teacher's responsibility is most concentrated in the careful cultivation of students, which of course refers to the cultivation of sentiment and the cultivation of ability, that is, the combination of teaching and educating people. "Teaching is to educate people, and educating people is inseparable from teaching, and the two interact with each other, penetrate each other, and complement each other. "A teacher should not only be a teacher, but more importantly, an engineer who forges the human soul. Therefore, in education and teaching, we always insist on educating students on political ideology and moral character, so as to promote the all-round development of students' moral, intellectual and physical qualities.

Over the past 30 years or so, I have made use of the characteristics of the Chinese language discipline to closely integrate the imparting of knowledge with ideological education, and to educate in an entertaining way, stressing Deng Lao's "Seeking Truth from Facts" for materialist education, and "Lin Daiyu's Entry into Jiafu" for socialist system and aesthetic education...... The students have obtained a double harvest of knowledge and ideology, so as to achieve teaching and educating people.

Teachers should be tireless in teaching and patiently guiding students to learn and master scientific and cultural knowledge, which is a sign of teachers' duties. In this regard, teachers should do their best, bear hardships and stand hard work, be conscientious and meticulous. In order for students to learn knowledge well and have ability, teachers have to spend a lot of effort to select the content suitable for the actual level of students from many knowledge, and the energy consumed by this effort is best compared to the formation of coal. Students' IQ is different, teachers should teach them according to their aptitude, follow the good path, take the pain, be patient and careful, and use all available opportunities to guide them to open their minds, develop their potential, have the ability, and invent and create. Take my teaching practice in the past three years as an example, every day, every month, every year, teaching, tutoring, training, and grading...... The top students eat small stoves raw, and the double poor students fill in the blanks...... In the end, the class was the first of the eight schools in Longxipu...... How can we calculate the painstaking effort and energy spent on this? It is really sweating to turn spring rain into spring rain, feeding peaches and plums everywhere.

Doesn't this kind of selfless dedication also create a good image of a teacher?

(3) The ability should be strong and the level should be high

If you want to create a good image of a teacher, in addition to the two aspects of "example" and "dedication", you must also show your ability and level in many aspects, so that students can admire you. In a nutshell, a teacher should be neat and elegant, dignified and generous, amiable, magnificent, profound, beautiful, humorous, artistic, and effective......

All in all, in the practice of education and teaching, to be able to harmoniously unify the above three aspects is a qualified people's teacher, that is, to create a good image of a teacher, is an amazing engineer of the human soul, students will admire you, respect you, love you, appreciate you, and forget you!
