Xu Zijian: Some opinions on strengthening the construction of teachers’ ethics in colleges and universities

Published: June 27, 2005 Editor:

Talent training, scientific research and serving the society are the three major tasks carried out by modern universities. The completion of these three major tasks often takes the construction of disciplines as the leader and the construction of the teaching staff as the basis. The construction of teacher ethics is a very important component. The construction of teachers' ethics is the basic work for the development of colleges and universities and the strengthening of the construction of teaching staff. It is also an important and urgent task at present.

1. Strengthening the construction of teacher ethics is an important task that is beneficial to the development of students, teachers themselves and society

Generally speaking, the functions of teacher ethics are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

1. Educational function for educational objects. "Observational learning theory" believes that children's behavior is often gradually formed by imitating the role models they believe and admire. The same is true for college students in the growing stage. Their behavior is highly imitable and plastic. Whether we are willing or not, aware or not, teachers' words and deeds are subtly exerting an educational effect, and they have the greatest possibility of becoming "role models" for students.

2. Regulatory function for teacher groups. Teacher ethics can play a role in regulating the working relationships of teachers and regulating the various interpersonal relationships they face. It is of great significance to one's own work and work attitude, and to the correct handling of cooperative relationships with others, and can promote the harmonious development of the team.

3. Cultivation function for teachers themselves. The moral quality of teachers will not only affect others, but also affect themselves in turn. Teachers who consciously improve their moral quality can effectively help themselves enhance their ability and level of self-psychological adjustment, sublimate their personality, and maintain a higher spiritual state in the face of many confusions and complex interpersonal relationships.

4. Promoting function for social development. The moral construction of teachers is an important part of the moral construction of citizens in our country at this stage. Good teacher ethics can promote the improvement of social moral standards. At the same time, teachers can carry forward their own good moral qualities in society by cultivating students.

2. Factors affecting teachers’ ethics and behavioral manifestations of bad teachers’ ethics

The formation of good teacher ethics is affected by many factors, including: ① personal factors, including personal growth background and traditional cultural values, personal moral standards and needs; ② w88 casino factors, including w88 casino rules and regulations and culture, the behavior of w88 casino leaders and colleagues; ③ external environmental factors, including social values and norms, industry ethos, etc. Although there are many factors that affect teachers' ethics, overall, the teacher's own inner motivation is the decisive factor in the formation of his or her personality.

At present, the vast majority of teachers in w88 casino are dedicated to their jobs and have a high level of professional ethics. However, teachers with poor moral ethics do exist, and they have various bad behaviors in their work behaviors. In terms of dealing with teaching and student issues, the main manifestations are: not preparing lessons carefully, talking nonsense and complaining in class, being late and leaving early, talking on mobile phones, canceling classes without permission, changing the syllabus and content at will, leaving little or no homework, not correcting homework seriously, not taking exam questions seriously, making many mistakes on the paper, leaking exam questions, not turning in exam papers as required, not giving results on time, etc. When it comes to dealing with colleagues and collective issues, the main manifestations are: jealousy of talents and abilities, lack of team spirit and cooperation spirit, arrogance when achieving some achievements, looking down on others, and only considering one's own interests. When it comes to dealing with scientific research issues, the main manifestations are: being too lazy to engage in research work, or plagiarizing the research results of others (including students).

3. Main ways to strengthen the construction of teachers’ ethics

1． Strengthen the construction of rules and regulations. I believe that the most fundamental way to build teachers' ethics is to strengthen the construction of rules and regulations. While establishing and improving various rules and regulations, it is necessary to increase the intensity of the implementation of the system so that the system can have a greater curbing effect on the above-mentioned bad teacher ethics.

2． Strengthen publicity and education. Teachers have had a lofty status in our country since ancient times. Mencius said: "A gentleman has three kinds of happiness: having parents and having brothers without any reason is one kind of happiness; looking up to Heaven and not being ashamed of others is the second kind of happiness; getting the world's talents and educating them is the third kind of happiness." As early as the pre-Qin period, Xunzi raised the status of teachers to a level equal to that of "the kings and relatives of heaven and earth". Since then, the Chinese have always believed that teachers "have the kinship of a father and the respect of a king." As far as the social status of teachers is concerned, with the advent of the knowledge economy, universities, as the main place for creating and disseminating knowledge, are moving from the edge of society to the center of society, and the status of university teachers has also increased unprecedentedly. Although the work of teachers is hard, their life also has a tranquil, detached and unrestrained side, that is, it has an "elegant" side. To strengthen the construction of teacher ethics, it is necessary to organize teachers to learn advanced culture so that they realize that teaching, educating people and engaging in scientific research is a respected profession and an ideal career choice. Its social status is constantly improving, and it is also a cause worthy of everyone cherishing this opportunity and working hard for it. At the same time, we must vigorously commend outstanding teachers and continuously enhance teachers’ professional sense of honor and responsibility.

3. Care about the lives of teachers and constantly improve working and living conditions. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said: Not paying attention to material interests is okay for a few advanced elements, but not for the broad masses. It's okay for a while, but not for a long time. The revolutionary spirit is precious. Without the revolutionary spirit, there will be no revolutionary action. However, revolution is based on material interests. If we only talk about the spirit of sacrifice and not material interests, that is idealism. At present, on the one hand, we must vigorously advocate the spirit of self-denial and selfless dedication, and at the same time, we must strive to provide good working and living conditions for teachers so that they can feel at ease and be willing to devote themselves to their current work.

4. Some suggestions for teachers

Teachers must persist in studying political theory, enhance their sense of professional honor and responsibility, and strictly abide by the w88 casino's rules and regulations. At the same time, I think teachers should also do the following:

1. Good at learning and diligent in research. For many years, there has been a saying in the education circle that teachers are "candles" who burn themselves and illuminate others (there is also the "spring silkworm" saying). People regard teachers as candles that bring light to others with the burning light of life. Teachers destroy themselves when they illuminate others. Such metaphors may praise teachers' selfless dedication, but they are one-sided and negative. On the one hand, it interprets teachers' creative teaching activities as passive knowledge output; on the other hand, it antagonizes students' success with teachers' development and becomes an excuse for teachers to be content with the status quo and do nothing. There is another saying: "If you want to give students a glass of water, you must have a bucket of water." How can we illuminate others without destroying ourselves, how can we give students living water instead of stagnant water? This requires teachers to constantly learn new things and be diligent in scientific research, so that they can continuously enrich and improve themselves.

2． Good at handling stress. Modern society is full of competition, and it is this competition that drives society forward rapidly. Competition will inevitably bring pressure to people. Stress will have an impact on work performance, both positive and negative; appropriate work pressure can help individuals progress and work better, but excessive pressure will have a negative impact on people's psychology, physiology and behavior. Psychologically, it manifests as: anxiety, depression, neurosis, etc.; Physiologically, it manifests as: high blood pressure, heart disease, physical and mental exhaustion, etc.; Behaviorally, it manifests as: being overly sensitive to criticism, impulsive behavior, reduced work enthusiasm and quality, unwillingness to cooperate with colleagues, and reduced loyalty to the organization, etc. When facing stress, individuals should actively seek ways to relieve stress, such as managing time well, exercising, seeking support from others, or changing jobs, etc., which can relieve stress.

3. Work hard to improve your emotional intelligence. There are a small number of teachers who have good teaching and research abilities, but are not good at handling relationships with students and colleagues, are unwilling to cooperate with others, lack team spirit, and appear to be very isolated, or to act alone. I think this is a concrete manifestation of low emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence includes five aspects: recognizing one's own emotions, properly managing emotions, self-motivation, recognizing other people's emotions, and managing interpersonal relationships. Research shows that emotional intelligence largely determines a person’s behavior and outcomes. In organizational activities, emotional intelligence can be reflected in many aspects such as decision-making methods, attitude towards colleagues, response to challenges, whether you are good at cooperation, whether you are willing to join a team, how to deal with conflicts, and whether you can communicate without barriers. Teachers must consciously continue to learn, practice, and summarize ways and methods to improve their emotional intelligence in actual work, and then continuously improve their overall quality, so that personal development and w88 casino development can be organically combined.
