How do college teachers look at the evaluation of professional titles
The Ministry of Education website announced on July 27 that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Education jointly studied and drafted the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Teachers’ Title System in Colleges and Universities (Consultation Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the “Consultation Draft”). The society solicits public opinions. The draft for solicitation of comments is clear, taking the performance of teachers' ethics as the primary condition for the evaluation of teacher titles, and overcoming the tendency of only academic qualifications, qualifications, "hats", papers, and projects.
Among them, the performance of teachers is regarded as the primary condition for the evaluation of teachers' professional titles, and it is mentioned that SCI papers are not used as preconditions, and papers, patents, etc. are not simply used as restrictive conditions. So what do college teachers think about this? What impact will this reform bring to them? Will it also affect the enthusiasm for scientific research and academic research? A few days ago, a reporter from Science and Technology Daily interviewed relevant people.
What kind of "good teacher" should be cultivated to teach moral
Recently, the Ministry of Education publicly exposed 8 typical violations of the ten standards of professional conduct for teachers, which aroused widespread concern among netizens. Prior to this, the draft for comments made it clear that the performance of teachers' ethics is the primary condition for the evaluation of teachers' professional titles. Is the performance of teachers' ethics really that important?
Einstein once said: "The only source of respect for teachers is the virtue and talent of teachers."
In educational life, in order to achieve the goal of educating people, it is necessary to develop various resources. Among them, good teacher ethics and teaching style have special significance. It is not only a key resource for moral education, but also a guarantee for promoting five educations and cultivating people. Resources have become one of the most powerful educational resources.
"Teacher ethics is also one of the professional ethics of teachers. It is the quality that college teachers should have, but the core issue is how colleges and universities evaluate teacher ethics." said Li Zhiqiong, a professor at the College of Animal Science and Technology of Sichuan Agricultural University. What kind of "good teacher" can be cultivated to educate morality?
For example, many colleges and universities now adopt the way that students evaluate teachers, which Li Zhiqiong thinks is more one-sided. "To give a very simple example, I have strict requirements for students, so some students may think that you are demanding and embarrass them. In the end, the teacher's teaching evaluation effect is not very good. So how to evaluate the teacher's morality is the core The goal, as a primary condition of the teacher title system, I think this is even more necessary."
It is inappropriate to treat papers, patents, etc. as restrictive conditions
"In the past, it was advocated to have a scientific research and teaching environment, to reduce direct intervention in scientific research innovation and academic activities, and to create a strong academic atmosphere. Therefore, colleges and universities will propose to teachers to complete educational tasks, and to a certain extent, there must be scientific research. A trend.” Li Zhiqiong said, on the one hand, teachers can pass on some new things to students in the classroom after they have done their scientific research, thereby enlightening or influencing students, and may affect their future research directions; but On the other hand, some college teachers focus on teaching, and they have not made scientific research results or published papers, which may affect the evaluation of professional titles. This is also true. Therefore, papers and patents should not be regarded as restrictive conditions. .
Li Zhiqiong believes that although it is inappropriate to treat papers and patents as restrictive conditions in the past, it cannot be absolutely ruled out. "If university teachers are separated from scientific research and papers and use teacher ethics to measure good or bad, then some indicators cannot be quantified, or these quantitative indicators may not be very accurate."
In addition, if SCI papers are not used as preconditions, and papers and patents are not simply used as restrictive conditions, will it affect the enthusiasm for scientific research and academic research?
"The title of university teachers is directly linked to income. With the change of evaluation standards, if the papers, patents and other conditions are excluded in the future, I personally think it will affect the enthusiasm of some university teachers in scientific research and academic research." Li Zhiqiong said.
