Article 5 of the Code of Professional Ethics for Primary and Secondary School Teachers, which was revised in p>28: "Be a model. Stick to noble sentiments, know Rong Ming's shame, be strict with yourself and set an example. Dress appropriately, have standard language and behave in a civilized manner. Care for the collective, unite and cooperate, respect colleagues and parents. Decent style, integrity. Consciously resist paid tutoring and seek personal gain without taking advantage of his position. " It is clearly stipulated that honesty is a noble sentiment that teachers should possess. As teachers, we should carry forward the spirit of dedication, consciously resist the influence of bad social atmosphere, and seek personal gain without taking advantage of our authority. To this end, we must first clarify its meaning and why it is regarded as an important norm of teachers' professional ethics.
Honesty and purity have always been an important moral standard for officials, and the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries in China have served as a lofty demonstration of honesty and self-discipline for the people of the whole country all their lives. In the primary stage of socialism against corruption, teachers who cultivate talents should bear in mind its moral significance and requirements.
Section I Honest Teaching and Its Moral Significance
Honest teaching is the seventh norm in the Code of Professional Ethics for Primary and Secondary School Teachers, which requires teachers to have noble sentiments, carry forward the spirit of dedication, consciously resist the influence of bad social atmosphere and seek personal gain without taking advantage of their authority. To this end, we must first clarify its meaning and why it is regarded as an important norm of teachers' professional ethics.
First, the meaning and necessity of honest teaching
(I) The meaning of honest teaching
The so-called honesty contains the connotations of honesty, integrity, honesty and shame, which is the basis of public service, the premise of openness, the guarantee of one's self-discipline and the driving force of self-esteem. In Ci Hai, it is explained that incorruptibility, innocence and corruption are relative, and Wang Yi's "Songs of Chu. Evocation of Soul" is quoted as saying: "No corruption, no pollution, no cleanliness". In layman's terms, honesty means not accepting ill-gotten gains, not greedy for public property and other people's property, and not being polluted by secular ugliness. Yan Zi Chun Qiu wrote: "Honest people are the foundation of politics". Han Shu wrote: "If officials are not honest, they will rule out the decline of morality.". China * * * producers have always advocated honesty. Comrade Mao Zedong not only did not specialize during the revolutionary war, but in the 197s, he was still wearing pajamas with dozens of patches and covered with patched towels. Comrade Liu Shaoqi has always been strict with the law, insisting on hard work and simplicity, and there is a famous "four prohibitions" on going out for business; Commander-in-Chief Zhu De insisted on sharing weal and woe with the people and never allowed to eat and drink and entertain. Comrade Chen Yun holds a high position, but he always takes self-care, honesty and selflessness as his code of conduct; Comrade Dong Biwu always makes three chapters with the people who work around him; Comrade Peng De has always opposed specialization; Comrade Zhang Wentian is very disgusted with the vulgar style of courting friends and opening doors. Such a model is countless. The government of China and the people of China regard the construction of a clean government as an important part and an important guarantee for the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. The integrity of the party and government organs and their staff is regarded as a major event related to the people's back and the success or failure of reform and opening up, and to the rise and fall of the party and the country.
As engineers of human soul, teachers should understand the meaning of honesty and remember to be honest in teaching. The so-called honest teaching means that teachers should adhere to the principle of practicing the law of honesty throughout their teaching career, not greedy for the money and things of students and parents, not greedy for the money and things of the public and others, not tainted with some bad habits such as greed, bribery and lust that appear in society, and always set an example for students and the world with clean and pure moral products.
What we want to remind teachers in particular here is that under the influence of money worship, hedonism and individualism, there are very few teachers who seek personal gain by teaching and are keen on "paid tutoring", which seriously affects the image of people's teachers, and the public opinion is very strong. If this problem is not solved well, it will inevitably affect the development of education and the construction of socialist spirit.
(II) Necessity of Honesty in Teaching
After clarifying the meaning of honesty in teaching, we will discuss why honesty in teaching has become an important norm of teachers' professional ethics. To this end, talk about the necessity of honest teaching.
first, because honesty is the personality premise of teachers. Han Yu, a writer and educator in the Tang Dynasty, famously said, "A teacher is a teacher, so he preaches, teaches and dispels doubts". He regards "preaching" as the primary task of teachers. However, if teachers want to educate people through preaching, they must first cultivate their self-cultivation, be noble in thought and morality, and be clean and white in order to teach students by example. As written in the Book of Rites: "Be strict with teachers and then respect them, and respect them and then the people will know and respect their studies. Only in this way can teachers have the personality charm of being a model, and only in this way can the "teacher's way" be established, people can be taught to be true, good and beautiful, and students and people in society can learn from it with respect.
second, honesty is a new requirement of society and people for teachers. Because education is to educate future generations with advanced ideas, knowledge and technology accumulated by human beings, inherit human civilization and continue and develop human history and culture. Therefore, people are particularly cautious when choosing and determining teachers, and they must choose those who are noble in moral character, correct in behavior and knowledgeable. It is precisely because these candidates are outstanding in the crowd that they can be a teacher. However, in private ownership society, teachers' political status and social status are not high, and they have no right and opportunity to be greedy, occupy or seek personal gain through teaching. In the socialist society, the social status of teachers has been greatly improved. Teachers are not only the masters of society, but also a part of the proletariat who master knowledge. Especially in the current tide of market economy, decadent ideologies such as money worship, hedonism and egoism attack teachers, looking at money everywhere, and the phenomenon of teaching for personal gain occurs from time to time in some teachers. Individual teachers always consider personal gains and losses everywhere, and always want to be greedy, greedy and occupy whenever they have the opportunity. Such a teacher, no matter how knowledgeable, can play a role as a model for students? To this end, the party and the people use the new professional ethics requirement of honesty to regulate teachers' behavior.
Third, honesty is the moral foundation of teachers' education. The purpose of teachers' teaching and educating people is to cultivate talents for the society, and to educate and guide the broad masses of young students' outlook on life, world outlook, values and morality towards the talents required by all classes. Traditionally, talent standards have included both morality and talent, and the ruling classes in all societies regard "morality" as the primary standard of talent. The proletariat regards "having ideals, morality, education and discipline" as the criterion for talents. " The basic problem in "morality" is interest, that is, when an individual interest conflicts with the interests of others and society, how to deal with it? . When a person is honest and selfless, and always serves the interests of others, the collective interests and the social interests, his moral quality must be excellent and noble; On the contrary, a person's moral quality will be ugly and despicable if he always acts for personal self-interest, greed and the interests of the collective, society and others. The former is characterized by honesty. The "four haves" new people cultivated by people's teachers are a group of successors who are honest and dedicated to the society and the interests of the people. Teachers' honesty is conducive to cultivating students' selfless dedication.
Second, the significance of teachers' honest teaching in the new era
Honest teaching is not only an important requirement for teachers by the party and the people, but also a prerequisite for teachers to teach, which is of great significance in the new century.
(1) Incorruptible teaching contributes to the rectification of social unhealthy tendencies
China is in the development period of socialist market economy, and needs to deepen reform internally and open wider to the outside world. In the process of reform and opening up and the development of market economy, some negative corruption phenomena will inevitably occur. Some party and government cadres use their power to engage in political corruption, economic corruption, moral corruption, life corruption, bribery, extortion, bribery, nepotism and self-corruption, and do everything possible to get fame, profit, power, money and enjoyment for themselves, resulting in some abusing power for personal gain, some abusing public interests for personal gain, some illegally occupying and some embezzling social wealth. Degeneration, lack of progress, corruption, extravagance and waste, bribery, extortion, pocketing, eating and drinking, etc. These corrupt phenomena and unhealthy trends are affecting and poisoning young people. If teachers take the lead in setting a good example of honesty and integrity, they will not only preach to students, but also demonstrate by example. On the one hand, they will educate young students to understand the ugliness and harmfulness of corruption, on the other hand, they will educate students to be honest and pure, laying a talent foundation for rectifying negative corruption in society. At the same time, teachers' incorruptible image is used to educate, influence and influence members of society, making corrupt and dishonest elements shameful and setting an example for fighting corruption and promoting honesty.
(2) It is an urgent need for teachers to be honest in teaching to eliminate unhealthy tendencies within the education system.
The negative effects of market economy and reform and opening up are the rise of egoism, hedonism and money worship of the exploiting classes, and the proliferation of negative corruption. The education front is not in a vacuum, and these negative corruption phenomena will inevitably penetrate into the field of school education. Although the negative corruption in the so-called "Qingshui yamen" in the past is not as serious as some units in society, it is also common. Such as cheating in exams and "human network" in enrollment; Some schools charge fees indiscriminately; Some teachers relax their students in class, and they have to make up lessons and charge students after class; Some units use their powers to monopolize the publication and distribution of textbooks, homework, study reference and reading bibliography for primary and secondary school students; Some in school infrastructure, the responsible person engages in commission, kickbacks and bribes; Some universities and technical secondary schools run classes indiscriminately, collect fees at random, and issue diplomas indiscriminately, which are contrary to honest teaching. These not only require teachers to be honest and clean, but also require government officials at all levels and in charge of education to be honest and clean. Because the field of education is a position to shape and cultivate talents, how can these "top" bosses and those who set an example by themselves educate and shape talents who are honest and upright? It can be seen that teachers' honesty in teaching is the need to eliminate unhealthy trends within the education front.
content and requirements of incorruptible teaching in the second quarter
the educational position is no longer a pure land, and some negative and corrupt winds in the society blow to schools and teachers from time to time. Teachers must be clear about their content and requirements if they want to be incorruptible.
First, the content of honest teaching
According to the Code of Professional Ethics for Primary and Secondary School Teachers re-issued by the State Education Commission and the National Education Union in 1997, combined with the current situation of teachers in China, honest teaching contains the following main contents:
(1) Adhering to noble sentiments
Sentiment is emotional integrity, which refers to people's firm and noble moral feelings and moral qualities. In real life, emotion generally refers to the combination of emotion and ethics, that is, the combination of noble moral emotion and moral quality. In the history of mankind, those sentiments that are consistent with the interests of the broad masses of people and social progress are noble sentiments, which have great spiritual value and are important contents and factors that constitute personal moral quality and spiritual world. Today, it is also an important part of social moral construction and spiritual civilization construction, and it is also an important part of teachers' professional ethics.
People's teachers should adhere to noble sentiments, which are consistent with the world outlook and outlook on life of the proletariat and the unity of emotion, integrity and ethics required by the socialist cause. Because sentiment is a complex spiritual phenomenon, which contains both emotion and reason; It involves not only the concepts of good and evil, beauty and ugliness, right and wrong, but also psychological qualities such as willpower. It also contains sincere care and love for comrades, the people, the collective and the socialist cause, and hatred for enemies and ugly things; Persistent pursuit and heroic defense of revolutionary truth and proletarian education, and active support for just cause; Correct and distinct concepts of right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, good and evil; Healthy taste and pursuit; A firm revolutionary stand and unyielding integrity; Noble code of conduct and ideal personality; Broad-minded, tolerant and generous for the revolutionary cause; Fearless of difficulties and hardships, tenacious willpower and fearless spirit, and so on. If people's teachers want to adhere to noble sentiments, they should keep in mind its contents and engage in the cause of teaching and educating people according to these contents and requirements.
(2) Give full play to the spirit of dedication
The occupation that teachers engage in is a career that benefits mankind and contributes to life. Teachers should do a good job in teaching and educating people, there is no distinction between day and night, and there is no leisure for holidays and festivals; Teachers teach in a vast area, no matter how remote or hard it is, whether it is high mountains and plains or island frontiers, as long as there are students, teachers are needed there; To teach one or several subjects well, teachers must devote all their intelligence and wisdom and a lot of time, energy and painstaking efforts. Thus, people compare teachers to "candles", burning themselves and illuminating others; Compared to "ladder" and "paving stone", let a batch of successors climb from themselves to the peak of science. This is the dedication of our teachers. With this kind of dedication, teachers will not haggle over personal gains and losses, let alone covet the money and goods of others, collectives and society, and have the willpower and fearless spirit to overcome difficulties.
As China is still one of the poorer countries in the world, and the conditions for running a school are relatively difficult and teachers' salary is not high, our teachers will not be a good people's teacher if they are greedy for money and enjoyment and commit an ugly act that violates the integrity of teaching. To this end, teachers should keep in mind the principle of being honest in teaching and must give play to the dedication of "eating grass and squeezing out milk". "
This dedication is manifested in that people's teachers should love their teaching and educating people. Only by pouring this deep affection for their careers and students can they resist the attack and erosion of money worship, hedonism and egoism. Second, it is manifested in the lofty moral character of serving the people wholeheartedly. Because our country is in the primary stage of being a social owner, the fundamental task of the whole people is to vigorously develop social productive forces, gradually realize the modernization of agriculture, industry, national defense and science and technology, and build our country into a democratic, prosperous and civilized socialist power. To realize socialist modernization, science and technology modernization is the key and education is the foundation. Only when people's teachers wholeheartedly teach good books and cultivate good people, and cultivate talents quickly and trustfully, can our socialist modernization be gradually realized. Thirdly, teachers should devote all their efforts to training the next generation, and use the key of their wisdom to open the door to the treasure house of science and culture for hundreds of millions of young people; Use your lofty ideology and morality to shape the beautiful hearts of hundreds of millions of teenagers.
(3) Consciously resist the bad social atmosphere
The reform and opening up has brought vitality and vigor to China, and China's economy has developed rapidly, and people's lives have been greatly improved. At the same time, due to the opening of the country, the sludge, mosquitoes and flies in capitalist society have mixed in. For example, the bourgeoisie's selfish interests at the expense of others, personal heroism, fraud, hypocrisy, jealousy, rudeness, forgetting righteousness at the expense of profit, money worship, hedonism and egoism have seriously corroded and influenced people. Abuse of power for personal gain, position for personal gain, eating and drinking.
