As students, we are willing to approach and associate with ethical people, and of course we are also willing to approach ethical teachers.

As teachers, we are also willing to get close to and interact with moral people, and of course we are also willing to get close to moral students.

So, to be a student that teachers and classmates are willing to approach, or to be a teacher that teachers and students are willing to approach, you should be a moral person yourself. When students study in school, they are affected by both classmates and teachers, but mainly by teachers. Teachers who students are willing to approach have a greater impact on students than teachers who students are unwilling to approach.

It can be inferred from this that as a teacher, if you want to cultivate students into people who everyone is willing to get close to, you must pay attention to cultivating students' morality, and if you want to make students become moral people, you must make students Students are willing to get close to you in order to exert a great influence on them. Therefore, you must first become a moral person yourself.

Students approach teachers for many reasons. In addition to morality, teachers' knowledge, power, appearance, etc. will all become factors that encourage students to approach.

But knowledge can only satisfy students' temporary desire for knowledge, power can only maintain short-term obedience and closeness, and appearance can only attract superficial attention. What really touches the hearts of students is the power of personality and morality. This power is long-lasting, it will affect students' lives and is the foundation for their future.

Therefore, in terms of the impact on students' lives, knowledge, power, appearance, etc. taken together are far less important than morality.

For teachers, the best reward is the sincere support of students. However, a true and accurate evaluation of a teacher's ethics and teaching style can often only be obtained after he or she has lost all external attractiveness, academic and administrative power, and all factors that can influence students.

There is a saying in historical circles that "the coffin is sealed", and there is some truth to it. When teachers are in office, especially those with high status and power, everyone's evaluations are often untrue. Therefore, only when he (or she) is no longer alive, or has lost all the factors that influenced students, can his or her true emotions in the minds of students be truly revealed, and the evaluation of his or her teacher's ethics and style can be truly revealed. The most credible. In this regard, in the three hundred and sixty lines, only the teaching profession can be described as "candle", and this is why. This is the noble aspect of this profession.

IV

A concrete manifestation of good teacher ethics and style is to maintain a kind of personality equality between teachers and students. Learn from each other and respect each other.

In feudal society, ordinary people called officials "parent officials" because they expected these officials to do things for the people and it was also a respectful title for good officials. In fact, the real people who provide food and clothing are the common people. Feudal society turned this relationship upside down.

The same goes for being a teacher.

“Once a teacher, always a father” is the respect students have for their teachers. Since you are a "father", you must care for, care for, and be responsible for your students. Teachers must not interpret this statement to mean that they can use their status as a "parent" to interfere with, instruct, or even take advantage of students. There is an old saying, "If a person has virtue in you, you must not forget it. If you have virtue in others, you must not forget it." Students respect you as their father, but you must not regard this as a favor to the students. After the students graduate, you will never forget your "virtue" and "kindness". Even if a truly virtuous teacher is kind to his students, he will never forget them.

In my opinion, "Once a teacher, always a father" is a warning to teachers: First, even if you only work as a teacher for one day, you must be responsible for your students. Since we are the "father", we must follow the ancient saying that "if the son fails to teach, it is the father's fault." Second, when a student has achieved results or has become a bad influence, do not use the name of the "father" to promote yourself or borrow the "light" of the student. Third, when students make mistakes, they should take the initiative to bear the responsibility of "the son's failure to teach, the father's fault, the lax teaching, the teacher's laziness". Only by achieving these three things can we understand the true meaning of "once a teacher and always a father", and only then can we be considered to have teacher ethics.

Teacher's ethics and style are not like other things, where "one handsome man can cover up all his ugliness". Especially in universities, the more talented teachers and the higher their academic status, the more they need to encourage themselves in this regard.

Because you are influential, from a positive perspective, people respect you, but from a negative perspective, others dare not offend you. But you have talents and achievements. When everyone recognizes you, they only recognize your talents and achievements. You cannot use talents and achievements to replace your morality, or in other words, you cannot use the "beautiful" in your talents to cover the "ugly" in your morals. Students look at teachers not only for their talent, but also for their morality. If you have no talent and no virtue, students will hate you; if you have talent but no virtue, students will fear you; if you have virtue but no talent, students will sympathize with you; if you have both ability and moral integrity, students will sincerely support you.

“Literaturemen look down upon each other” is probably a common phenomenon in academic circles at home and abroad. But compared with Western countries, China may be more powerful. This may be related to Chinese cultural traditions. In Chinese language, cautionary sayings such as "The trees that stand tall in the forest will be destroyed by the wind", "The stick that stands out will die first", and "The gun will kill the bird that stands out" teach people how to avoid oriental jealousy. In Western languages, it is difficult to find such language, but there are many wise sayings such as "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier", which teaches people how to work hard towards lofty goals. This is a cultural difference. Therefore, in China, the psychology of literati's contempt for each other is more complex and obscure than that in the West.

"Being indifferent to each other" means looking down on each other, and only one's own good is good. Under certain conditions, this mentality can also inspire people to work hard to do better than others. But in most cases it will lead to mutual denigration or mutual destruction. As a teacher, if you are not vigilant about this, instead of clarifying academic rights and wrongs during class or in contact with students, you will make groundless attacks or slanders against your peers, which will have a negative impact on students. In the final analysis, this is also a matter of teacher ethics.

"Xia" and "righteousness" are traditional Chinese virtues. There is no word with the same meaning as "righteousness" in English. The reason why Guan Yu is respected by so many people is because he best embodies this virtue. But few people associate this virtue with teachers. It seems that these two words are only related to military commanders or people in the martial arts world, and there is really no connection with teachers. Not really. Chinese teachers cannot do without their own historical and cultural background. Many teachers are very "loyal". A Chinese-American professor wrote these three sentences as his motto and hung them in his office: "Be generous with justice and distribute wealth, help the poor, and teach each other." Interestingly, as a university professor, only the last sentence in the motto is directly related to the teaching profession. The first two sentences are both martial arts discourse. But this professor is deeply loved by his students because he is very "loyal" to his students.

In fact, keeping promises, being trustworthy, being willing to help others, "doing things loyally when entrusted by others", "drawing your sword to help when the road is rough", etc. were all required of ordinary people in ancient times. Everything you see is the meaning of the word "righteousness" in the title. Putting these on teachers is also a virtue. Those teachers who are not loyal, who do not help students when they are in trouble, who cannot try to satisfy students when they need them, and who cannot stand up when students are in danger, probably cannot be said to have teacher ethics.

As a teacher, you must not only be responsible for students, but also for society and science.

At present, university teachers have an impetuous mentality, especially teachers in the humanities and social sciences. Impetuousness is actually an irresponsible attitude toward science, society, and students. This kind of mentality is definitely not "true" when it is expressed in scientific research, and it is definitely not "real" when it is expressed in teaching. If students cannot learn their true talents, it will harm society, and therefore it cannot be said to be "good". Therefore, "impatience" is also a sign of lack of teacher ethics.

In the teaching profession, this mentality mainly has ten specific manifestations:

1. Top-heavy and half-informed

2. Flashy and indulge in rhetoric

3. Only reading books, lacking independent thinking

4. Grandstanding and pursuing sensational effect

5. I am so happy to have great achievements, but I am unwilling to accumulate them steadily

6. Detached from reality and willing to sit and talk

7. Pursuing fame and reputation, individualism expands

8. The philistine style is rampant

9. Dealing with it perfunctorily and getting by all day long

10. Practicing fraud and being keen on crooked ways

If you are a university teacher, you might as well take a look and see if you also have this kind of mentality?

Professional ethics in all walks of life have their own special requirements, but there are also many negative aspects. One of the most important requirements is that no matter what kind of profession people are engaged in, if they encounter something unpleasant in the workplace, family or society, they cannot transfer the bad emotions caused by such things to your service. on the object.

Your wallet was stolen on the way to work, you had a quarrel with your family last night, your relative died suddenly, or your job title was not promoted smoothly, resulting in anger, annoyance, It’s human nature to feel sad and irritable. But when the doctor stands next to the operating table, the salesperson stands behind the counter, and the teacher stands on the podium, facing patients, customers and students, your role must be transferred to the doctor, salesperson and teacher, and cannot stay on the road. , families, funeral homes and leaders there. In front of patients, you are a doctor, in front of customers, you are a salesperson, and in front of students, you are a teacher. It is not easy to do this. I understand that this is a relatively high requirement in teacher ethics and professional ethics, and it is a state. After reaching this state, the word "noble" is worthy of being added after the word "teacher's morality".

Teacher ethics is not only a personal issue for teachers, but also a collective issue for teachers, that is, a climate issue. Personal teacher ethics are not good, although sometimes it will cause the bad impact of "one rotten egg ruining a pot of soup" in a small area, but after all, it is only a small area matter. If the teacher group has a bad atmosphere, especially if it colludes with the bad atmosphere in society, the harm will be great. At this time, the issue of teacher ethics has evolved into a moral issue for the entire education industry, and the bad teacher style has evolved into an unhealthy trend in the education industry.

Over the years, bad social trends have also caused great pollution to the education industry. It ranges from schools charging arbitrary fees, "eating" students, and taking away students, to teachers personally embezzling students. It once became a very bad social custom. It can be seen that the issue of teacher ethics and style is closely related to the style of work, and the style of work is closely related to the style of the world. Generally speaking, if the world's moral conduct is declining, the conduct of one's conduct will inevitably decline; if one's conduct is not correct, then the conduct of one's teachers will inevitably be improper. Therefore, to rectify the teacher's style, we must first rectify the business style, and to rectify the business style, we must first rectify the world's style. In particular, because the education industry has a greater impact on future generations than other industries, sometimes a good teacher's style can also drive the conduct, and a good conduct can also affect the world's conduct. Therefore, it is necessary to promote teachers’ ethics and style at any time.

The ten aspects of teachers’ ethics and style discussed above do not cover all issues. They are just the observations and insights of teachers’ ethics and style in educational practice for more than ten years. What is criticized in the article is not directed at others, but is used to discipline oneself; what is advocated in the article is not used to teach others, but to encourage oneself.
