Our country has a long tradition of respecting teachers and Taoism. In ancient times, there was a saying that "people have three respects, the king, the father, and the teacher." "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Respecting Teachers" says: "Be careful when you are alive, and be respectful when you are dead. This is the way to respect teachers." Our country's Teacher Law stipulates: "Teachers are professionals who perform the duties of education and teaching, and are responsible for teaching and educating people. , the mission of cultivating builders and successors of the socialist cause and improving national quality. "Teachers should be loyal to the people's education." Teachers are a special profession that directly educates people, and their words and deeds have a great impact on the growth of students. If we say that an army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy. So if we apply this principle to the construction of the teaching team, can we say this: teachers who lack theoretical literacy are shallow teachers, and shallow teachers cannot fulfill their duties of teaching and educating people. The necessity for teachers to strengthen their basic theoretical literacy is mainly reflected in three aspects: The first is to improve their spiritual realm. The spiritual realm is the foundation for teachers to settle down and build their careers. Its core content is the issue of ideals and beliefs, outlook on life and values. Correct ideals, beliefs, outlook on life, and values ??come from rational thinking about complex social phenomena and from grasping the regularity of social and historical processes. To achieve these, we cannot do without fully absorbing the outstanding ideological achievements of the humanities and social sciences. Confucius summed up the process of his own ideological maturity as follows: at thirty, he stood upright; at forty, he was not confused; at fifty, he understood the destiny of heaven; at sixty, his ears were attuned; at seventy, he followed his will without violating the rules. Translated into current words, it means that as your thoughts gradually mature, you will see more and more clearly about various things, and your actions will become more and more conscious. Ideals, beliefs, outlook on life, and values ??cannot only be understood as views on the historical process, but more of an attitude towards life, which is more reflected in daily dealings with people. Only if you have good theoretical literacy, your political stance will be clear and firm, your will and quality will be tenacious and open-minded, your taste will be pure and noble, and your interpersonal relationships will be harmonious and smooth; on the contrary, you will often show shortsightedness, suspicion, narrow-mindedness, paranoia, etc. in many aspects. Bad emotions such as impetuosity and utilitarianism not only affect yourself, but also affect your work. Teacher Tang Jiayan is a psychology expert. During his lecture, he emphasized that being good at rational thinking from multiple perspectives is beneficial to mental health. Teachers work with students, and if they have problems with their own mental state, it is obviously difficult for them to do a good job in teaching. Teachers are engineers who shape the souls of students. Teachers not only impart cultural knowledge to students, but also educate students on their ideological and moral character and shape the beautiful hearts of the younger generation. Teachers' ideological, moral, and worldview influence students through specific teaching and education work, thereby creating members of society who master a certain culture and possess certain moral qualities and spiritual outlook. Although the moral level of each era is ultimately determined by the economic relations of that era, and the ideological concepts of each system are also affected by complex social relations, teachers' education has a direct and strong influence on students' moral development. Not only that, everything a teacher does in his daily work and life, like his educational activities, has a huge impact on students' ideological understanding and behavioral habits. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to the impact on students' moral education. Cultivating students' good morals not only relies on teachers' verbal education, but also relies on the direct influence and education of teachers' behavioral ethics on students. People often say: "Teachers have no small details and are role models everywhere." School is the place where every student lives and learns. The school’s educational methods and methods have a great impact on students. It is the responsibility of every teacher to provide ideological and moral education to students. Teachers must establish the idea of ??being a role model, teaching and educating people, and combine teaching by words and teaching by example. Only by leading by example can teachers' words and teachings play a greater role. Only by being a human being Only by having a teacher as a role model can students feel the credibility of the moral principles they learn from the image of the teacher, so that they are willing to take positive actions and promote the unity of students' words and deeds. The second is to improve work ability. For teachers, theoretical literacy in humanities and social sciences is the core content of their own quality and the cornerstone and backbone of their work ability. As mentioned before, when teachers complete specific tasks and solve specific problems, they directly apply a series of "rules" and "skills", but what works behind the scenes and plays a decisive role in the work effect is basic theoretical literacy. The essence of emphasizing theoretical literacy is to emphasize rational thinking, especially regular thinking, to avoid discussing things based on facts, and to act based on intuition, experience and emotions. Cape, a famous American vocational training expert who graduated from West Point Military Academy, emphasized in his book "No Excuses": "The more thorough your understanding of things, the higher your perspective.

The higher you stand, the more power you can exert. "To give the most common example: teachers often suffer from the lack of "pen", and teachers often have headaches and cannot write "good lesson plans". What is the reason? The fundamental reason is that the theoretical literacy is weak. "Teaching plans" is essentially a question of ideological level. If faced with Regarding the teaching content, if we can neither find problems nor analyze them, nor can we come up with countermeasures, how can we make good "teaching plans"! The Teacher Law clearly stipulates: "Care for and care for all students, respect students' personality, and promote students' moral, intellectual, and physical development." "Teachers' love and respect for students is a very important teaching method. As a teacher, if you want to make students love and respect you, you must first respect your own personality. Our country has this motto: " "People must respect themselves, and then others will respect them." A qualified teacher must have strong self-management ability, a strong sense of collectivism, and must always connect his work with the reputation of the group. Good or bad, the effect of something is insignificant to a person, but its impact on students and society is far-reaching. A wrong thing not only affects the individual, but also directly affects the reputation of the school and teachers. The image of the teacher affects the status of the teacher in the minds of the students, and even causes psychological trauma to the students. The teacher's love for the students helps to transform the teachers' requirements and instilled ideas into the students' own requirements and thoughts. To achieve this transformation, emotional filtering and catalysis is required. In other words, if a request or opinion is recognized by the students as coming from the teacher's care and love, it will have a positive tendency and be accepted. On the contrary, the same is true. Requirements and opinions. In short, under the impact of today's market economy, not being tempted in the face of money, status, fame and fortune requires us as teachers to have firm beliefs and consistent pursuits, and to remember: "Reason is the beacon of life." . Every teacher must perform his or her duties to the best of his ability and be worthy of the glorious title of "engineer of the human soul" given to teachers by the people. The third is to enhance the personality of teachers based on inspiring students' consciousness. "Inspiring self-consciousness" depends on the system, but also on one's own influence and appeal. This influence and appeal come from two aspects: one is to set an example, and the other is to convince people with their reasoning. "Have level", to a large extent, is manifested as "having thoughts". While "ideas" "conquer people", it also gives its owner a kind of "personality" power. With this kind of personality power, the student object will If I admire you and convince you, your teaching will be more effective. "The power of personality" comes from the "power of thought". Where does the "power of thought" come from? It is said that "listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." "Book", to a large extent, reflects the personality strength expressed by this theoretical literacy. The biggest characteristic of teachers is to impart knowledge and create knowledge. imparting knowledge and creating knowledge are often multi-faceted and multi-angle, requiring you to express You must develop a wider range of knowledge and open-minded ideas, otherwise you will lose your right to speak and lose your prestige. Teaching knowledge and creating knowledge also requires that you not be too utilitarian, and you are not allowed to pursue fame, such as electronic projection on the blackboard. Sign or write your name on each sentence. Excellent teachers are people who are willing to serve as ladders for others. Only by being willing to serve as ladders for others can they have charisma. Leading by example is an important part of teachers’ professional ethics, and it is also the strength of teacher education. Teachers are role models. He imparts knowledge to students and educates students on how to behave. Teachers’ words and deeds, political attitudes, ideological styles, moral qualities, academic spirit, and behavioral habits , all have a profound impact on students. The "shadow" of the teacher can often be seen in the students. The teacher's thoughts and behaviors must be tested by his own students. Whether the teacher's influence on the students is effective depends not only on his words and teachings, but also on his personal teaching. Only strict Only through self-discipline can we set an example. "Everything that students are asked to do, teachers must do it first. Everything that students are not allowed to do, teachers must take the lead in obeying." This is the common experience of all outstanding teachers, and it has become The same motto for teachers’ work. One is to read more, read widely, and read more original works. The basic theories that teachers need to master mainly exist in a large number of professional and humanities and social science writings. Reading too few books can be said to be the main reason for teachers' weak theoretical literacy. The improvement of "quality" cannot be separated from the accumulation of "quantity". From the perspective of the need to improve theoretical literacy, whether it is institutional training or theoretical education and learning organized by the education system or school teaching and research offices, the designated reading books are really too few. Even if Even if you study them all carefully, it is far from enough.

You should read as many books as possible and the content should be correct. The reading materials that teachers come into contact with during their teaching career are usually textbooks, documents and newspaper articles, with relatively few real theoretical writings. This is also an important reason for weak theoretical literacy. The establishment and development of each discipline has its own representative writings. The retelling, interpretation and development of these writings by later generations are "flows" rather than "sources", mixed with other people's intentions, and subject to other people's levels. This kind of "processed product" inevitably has problems of poor quality when reflecting the thoughts of the original work. Some are incomplete, some are inaccurate, specious things are often seen, and some are even deliberately distorted and misleading. Therefore, when reading more books, you should mainly read more original works. To help you understand, you should also read some tutorial reference materials. The second is to work hard, study diligently and persevere. "There is a road to a mountain of books and hard work is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ??learning and hard work is the boat." It is a cliché, but it is not easy to actually do it. The biggest difficulty in learning is not to defeat the books, but to defeat yourself. Marx lived in poverty all his life, deriding himself as "the person who lacks the most 'money' in the world and studies 'money'." He couldn't afford books, so he read a lot of books in the library, so much so that he made indentations on the cement floor where he usually sat. In "Das Kapital" alone, he cited more than 1,500 books. Lenin's motto was "Study, study, study again." While he was in prison, he continued to study, using bread as an inkwell and milk as ink to write articles. In "The Complete Works of Lenin" alone, he cited more than 16,000 books he had read. It is well known that Mao Zedong loved books as much as his life. The famous military strategist Clausewitz once said: "The wisdom displayed by soldiers should be the synthesis of all human knowledge." As a teacher, you must not develop a "lazy" mentality and relax yourself in learning and research. "Being lazy" means "degrading", which should not be taken lightly. The third is to pay attention to combining daily teaching work and delving into basic theoretical knowledge in related subject areas. Each teacher has his or her own job responsibilities, focusing on completing a certain professional teaching task. At the same time, he or she must undertake a variety of regular or temporary tasks based on central work and changes in the situation. No matter which task is completed, theoretical knowledge in one or more subject areas is required to support it. Therefore, it is a feasible and effective method to delve into relevant theoretical knowledge in conjunction with completing teaching tasks. Combining tasks with learning and improving, with strong purpose and directivity, can often achieve better results. Over time, not only can we continuously enrich theoretical knowledge by category, but also produce the effect of drawing parallels, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, and constantly improve our comprehensive theory. Literacy. The fourth is to make some knowledgeable and thoughtful "good friends" to influence and promote each other. As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Learning theory is inseparable from regular discussions and exchanges. For this reason, it is necessary to consciously create and devote yourself to such a good atmosphere. The key is to make some "good friends" who have like-minded interests in theory. In the exchanges between "beneficial friends", the conversation is less about worldly things such as daily necessities, family affairs, anecdotes, fame and wealth, and more about the world of knowledge, the past and present, outstanding people, and tracing the roots. Everyone has this experience. A problem that has been puzzling for a long time can suddenly be understood and enlightened after a few words from an expert. People often say that "it's enough to have a close friend in life." In addition to the meaning of being in tune with one's character, "close friend" mainly refers to the exchange of ideas, that is, "like-mindedness." In terms of building interpersonal relationships around theoretical interests, revolutionary mentors such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Mao Zedong set examples. As teachers, we should savor them carefully and study hard. Some teachers may say that with so much theoretical knowledge to master, it may be too difficult and beyond their capabilities. In fact, teachers mastering the basic theories of relevant professional disciplines and humanities and social sciences does not mean that everyone becomes an expert in these subject areas or a certain subject area. In the process of improving theoretical literacy, we should follow the principle of "be precise and be effective" emphasized by teacher Deng Xiaoping, and grasp three points: First, grasp the key points and focus. No matter which subject, no matter how complex the content is, there will not be too many important knowledge points and basic theoretical viewpoints. You can put more effort into learning and understanding these contents, and a general understanding of other knowledge points will be enough. The second is to focus on mastering dialectics. Dialectics is the most effective method, but if it is not mastered well, it will always suffer consequences. Lao Tzu advocates "dealing with the lower level". Everyone understands this principle, but when encountering specific problems, they often want to "deal with the upper level". The third is to focus on understanding. If we understand something and remember it solidly, it will naturally appear in our mind when needed. As for informational things, when necessary, we can just go to places we already know and look them up.

It is a contradiction to learn first and then know the deficiencies. It is difficult to study hard without knowing the deficiencies. For this reason, I advocate that all my colleagues should pay attention to improving their basic theoretical literacy.
