News 1+1丨 "Zero tolerance" for violations of teacher ethics! What kind of faculty do we need?
A few days ago, the Ministry of Education exposed 8 typical cases of violating the ten standards of professional conduct for teachers, including discriminating against and insulting students in the classroom, inducing students to participate in paid supplementary lessons, requiring students to engage in matters unrelated to teaching, scientific research, and social services, and sexual harassment of women. Students etc.
"News 1+1" will connect with Chu Zhaohui, a researcher of the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences tonight, and pay attention to: eight typical cases, "zero tolerance" for violations of teacher ethics!
Q:
What are the typical characteristics of the 8 cases exposed by the Ministry of Education?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
I think these three characteristics are quite obvious.
① These teachers ignore common sense and norms. In fact, these norms have been repeatedly disseminated through texts and other methods, but these teachers still ignore norms and commit violations.
②The basic literacy of these teachers is low, and the basic literacy is not reflected in the teacher's work.
③ Obviously favor utilitarianism.
Whether it is to make up lessons outside the school, or to pursue students' test scores too much in teaching, this shows that teachers are more utilitarian.
Q:
Is being included in the "Teacher Qualification Restriction Database" equivalent to being included in the "blacklist"?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
Because when we punished teachers in the past, a teacher might be punished in one school, but he went to teach in another school.
Then the inclusion in the "Teacher Qualification Restriction Library" actually restricts him from continuing to work in teaching positions. It is no longer possible to change schools. You must stop working in teaching positions and can no longer stand on the podium. The main reason is Play such a role.
Q:
How do you think that the Ministry of Education exposed 8 cases and dealt with the relevant person in charge of the school?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
This is mainly to emphasize the responsibility of teachers' ethics work.
Because our original documents repeatedly emphasized that the work of teacher ethics is not only the work of teachers, but also the work of school administrators.
This time the school administrators are also punished accordingly, which shows that they have not taken responsibility for the corresponding work. I think it is more reasonable to impose appropriate punishment on them, and it is also a measure to improve the ethics of teachers as a whole.
Q:
What is the effect of publishing typical cases of violations of the teachers’ code of conduct six times?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
①Everyone must have a basic judgment, that is, our teachers as a whole are relatively noble teachers, and these problems that occur in violation of the rules are very small in the total number of teachers.
②This mechanism has been used for the sixth time from the past to the present, and it has had certain effects in many places, especially after many teachers see this kind of case, they will be alert to themselves and pay attention to some of their words and deeds.
③ This notification penalty is only one of the measures to solve this problem.
To improve the ethics of teachers as a whole, a variety of measures must be used at the same time, including daily activities and teaching activities.
Strengthening and improving the construction of teacher ethics and style has been constantly improving, especially in the past two years, relevant policies have been continuously introduced, and relevant work has been continuously strengthened.
Solving the construction of teacher ethics is not just about punishment after the fact. How to close the door?
How to grasp the "standard" and "degree"?
Q:
On the one hand, the morality of kindergarten teachers needs to be improved, and on the other hand, there are hundreds of thousands of gaps in professional kindergarten teachers. How to solve this contradiction?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
In the professional training of pre-school teachers, there are many problems that have not been solved, resulting in insufficient basic quality of teachers who enter the post. This is a prominent problem encountered at the moment, and of course it is also reflected in the teacher's ethics.
Q:
Teachers' power of discipline, does the actual operation need to be clearer and more detailed?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
Educational discipline is a very complicated matter, but how to discipline it is the "art" of a teacher.
In fact, facing a change of concept, in the past, many teachers treated students with corporal punishment as normal, but now everyone's consciousness is different.
In fact, the use of punishment is based on a specific teacher, a specific student, and a specific situation, and the teacher is at the discretion of the teacher within a certain range, so that the punishment can be better used.
In this regard, I think it is not possible to over-specify, and at the same time let teachers improve their self-cultivation and learn to use the power of punishment.
These few cases obviously go beyond this range, and the excessive use of punishment is actually corporal punishment.
Q:
What should I do if I over-demand the teacher and the teacher says "I don't care about it."
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
The way to solve the problem is still to reach a consensus, especially in the three areas of parents, teachers, and schools.
I suggest discussing and communicating together at least once every semester, and then forming a consensus. Working on the basis of consensus may reduce mutual misunderstandings.
Q:
Teachers’ professional behavior requires standards, and does the teacher evaluation system also need to be changed?
A:
Chu Zhaohui:
Everyone has a misunderstanding that teachers are either meritorious or demerit. In fact, this is not the case.
The job of a teacher is a very complicated job. In the long run, every teacher’s role in the education of students exists objectively. Then there is a chance when he has a problem. If the teacher’s basic literacy is not enough, he will Inevitably make mistakes.
In terms of literacy, I think the most critical first is that the value should be correct. We must strive to be "good teachers", not to be utilitarian "famous teachers", and not to place too much emphasis on test scores. This is the first one.
We should evaluate as much as possible based on the characteristics of teachers. Our respect for teachers and punishment of teachers should be carried out at the same time.
