First, the entry threshold for primary and secondary schools begins with undergraduate courses.
You can look at the requirements for the recruitment of primary and secondary school teachers. Even now, the educational threshold for recruiting teachers in primary and secondary schools is enough, which determines that most primary and secondary school teachers are undergraduate.
This is different from colleges and universities. The entry threshold for college recruitment is graduate students, managers and counselors are generally masters, and full-time teachers are generally doctors. Therefore, the educational requirements of the entry threshold determine the average educational level of practitioners.
Second, academic qualifications are not mandatory for the promotion and development of primary and secondary school teachers.
Teachers in primary and secondary schools are different from those in colleges and universities. College teachers have scientific research assessment, and primary and secondary school teachers focus on teaching. Although primary and secondary school teachers also have scientific research, compared with university teachers, it is not a hard condition. However, the goal of learning and training in the highly educated stage is to cultivate students' scientific research ability, not their learning and teaching ability, so it is decided that the assessment goal of primary and secondary school teachers is not academic-oriented.
When the development orientation of a unit or industry is to improve professional ability, it will make practitioners not take the promotion of academic qualifications as the primary and important goal, so it will make primary and secondary school teachers not form a general trend of requiring the promotion of academic qualifications, but focus on improving teaching ability.
Third, there is no causal relationship between education and teaching level.
To sum up, the entry threshold for primary and secondary school teachers does not need high academic qualifications, and there is no rigid requirement that in-service primary and secondary school teachers must upgrade their academic qualifications, which makes the average level of primary and secondary school teachers not highly educated. An important factor in evaluating the level of primary and secondary school teachers is their teaching ability, which makes primary and secondary school teachers focus on improving their teaching ability rather than their academic qualifications.
If the improvement of teaching ability can bring rich returns to the professional development of primary and secondary school teachers, then upgrading academic qualifications is not a necessary option, because not everything in life should be perfect. There are priorities and trade-offs in career development. After all, people's energy is limited.
I think this statement is also true, but this question is not * * *, nor does it mean that those with low academic qualifications are not necessarily excellent.
It depends on whether a teacher is excellent or not.
First, I love my job and have a strong sense of responsibility. Teachers should be loyal to the Party's educational cause, be conscientious and meticulous, obey the leadership's work arrangement, be brave in taking responsibility, and accomplish it conscientiously.
Second, there is love. Be kind to students, warm them with love, answer questions for students with learning difficulties, give patient guidance, and pay special attention to students with family difficulties or left-behind children.
Third, we should have team spirit. Cooperate with other teachers, help each other at work and have cohesion.
Therefore, whether a teacher is excellent or not depends on the completion of all the work undertaken, and can't generalize from teaching achievements. Some teachers are not outstanding in the subjects they teach, but they are very good at managing students, so that teachers with management skills have nothing to do with academic qualifications; Other teachers speak well in class, and their students get good grades, but they can't do anything else. Is such a teacher excellent?
Is there a relationship between the quality of teaching achievements and the level of academic qualifications? Yes, but not absolutely.
The quality of teaching results depends on:
First, the corresponding level of knowledge. For example, teaching junior high school requires at least a knowledge level above senior high school, and teaching senior high school requires a knowledge level above junior college. The level of knowledge here refers to "reality", not necessarily "education". Although some teachers do not have the corresponding "academic qualifications", they have the ability to do things, so that they can make achievements.
Second, good teaching methods. This is crucial. Teachers' teaching is to impart knowledge to students. How to teach? This is a matter of method. Although some teachers have poor academic qualifications, their teaching methods are correct, and students can understand and learn; Moreover, some people have high academic qualifications, but they can't apply methods, and they are clearly fooling people, so they can't get good grades in the exam.
Third, correct teaching attitude. Although some teachers have low academic qualifications, they are conscientious and devoted to teaching, and they are eager to teach everything to their students. Such a teacher is also easy to make achievements. On the other hand, some teachers are good in all aspects, but they are not at ease in their teaching work. Will they achieve anything by being monks for a day?
Tell me about my two high school math teachers.
One is a real undergraduate who graduated from the Mathematics Department of Normal University. One graduated from junior high school, and then obtained a diploma in mathematics through self-study.
Two people are about the same age. Teaching in the same school again. At first, parents and students were reluctant to choose the latter, for fear that they would not learn knowledge and affect the results of the college entrance examination. In recent years, the recognition of parents and students has become higher and higher, and it is finally necessary for him.
Teachers who graduated from mathematics have to take care of logistics in the end, so they can't work in the front line and are abandoned alive by their parents and students.
Education does not fully represent ability and level. Some people have their own level, but they lack expressive power, so they can't draw inferences and get no results. Although some people don't have academic qualifications, because the college entrance examination is to look at all-round results, it doesn't mean that the door is not good, which is what we often say. Chinese is not good, mathematics is outstanding. Middle school teachers basically teach one course, so they are excellent! In addition, people with high academic qualifications are generally all-round development and will not choose normal classes as teachers. This was before, but the situation has changed today.
I am a normal student. I have taught elementary school, junior high school, senior high school and adult university. After teaching for 30 years, I feel that teachers' own cultural quality is the basis of being a good teacher, moral cultivation and psychological quality are the key, teaching methods and professionalism are the key, and loving education and caring for students are the guarantee.
Our normal students in those years, with low academic qualifications and not hard diplomas, are willing to make contributions enthusiastically, which should be said to have a position in basic education. However, in higher education, we still have to rely on highly educated and high-level teachers.
1. In the 1980s, under the influence of the national policy of "keeping the best students in the teaching staff", a group of students were selected to enter secondary normal schools. The supporting policy is that rural areas can be transferred to cities and towns immediately, and a large number of the best rural children have become normal students, and some have entered junior high schools.
2. Normal education is a kind of general education. Although the major is not deep, it is comprehensive, regardless of language, physics, music, physical beauty, politics, history and geography, so as to create students with strong comprehensive ability, and they will be stronger if they are smart.
A good teacher is not how high your professional level is, but how to help children acquire professional knowledge, which requires teachers to show their abilities when crossing the ocean. At this time, those general practitioners will have an advantage, and disciplines other than majors will enrich the teaching methods of these teachers.
Personally, I have always believed that from the overall situation, education and ability are directly proportional. That is to say, compared with 100 doctors, postgraduates and 100 secondary school students or junior college students who graduated in the same period, the higher their academic qualifications, the greater their ability. Although I am not a doctor, a master or a bachelor.
There is a very important condition here. First, they graduated at the same time. The second is to measure from the whole.
From the individual situation, it is not denied that the teaching achievements of individual teachers with high academic qualifications, such as individual undergraduates, are not as good as those of individual junior college students and teachers and students in technical secondary schools. In other words, among junior college students and secondary school students, there are indeed some teachers whose teaching achievements are quite outstanding.
Although education is not equal to practical ability, teaching needs good teaching attitude and advanced teaching methods. The problem is that highly educated teachers do not necessarily have good teaching attitudes and methods.
The specific situation in China is that there was a gap in the training of 10 talents during the Cultural Revolution, and there was a serious shortage of teachers in junior and senior high schools after the resumption of classes. At that time, some teachers whose academic qualifications were not up to standard were selected from normal students and junior college students, but their teaching attitude and teaching effect were very good, which enriched the junior and senior high school teachers. These teachers live up to expectations, learn while teaching, and become good teachers welcomed by students in a short time.
At present, among junior and senior high school teachers, some teachers whose original academic qualifications are not up to standard have retired, and some have obtained qualified academic qualifications through resignation and on-the-job study. However, in recent years, registered teachers are not allowed to register for exams if they have insufficient academic qualifications.
In short, a high degree of education is only one aspect of improving teaching performance, and the key lies in the overall quality of teachers themselves. Without achievements, it cannot be improved. I think whether a teacher is excellent or not depends on his working ability, which has nothing to do with his academic qualifications, but it does not deny that a teacher with too low academic qualifications is not qualified for junior high school or senior high school teaching.
What are the "Excellence" of excellent teachers?
It is observed that they have some common features:
First, I love education, and my "three views" are very correct. I regard education as my lifelong pursuit, stick to my post and dedicate myself.
Second, I have a strong desire to upgrade my major, a clear personal development plan, a strong teaching and research spirit and a strong learning ability.
Third, I am diligent and pragmatic in my work, with a strong sense of responsibility, good at reflection and summary, enterprising and self-motivated, driven by love and strong sense of competition.
Fourth, he is good at dealing with all kinds of relationships, with excellent personality and affinity, team consciousness and overall situation, and educational wisdom.
Fifth, mental health, good psychological quality. Good at emotional management and empathy. Perseverance and perseverance in character.
Sixth, be good at independent thinking, do things seriously and pursue perfection.
From these characteristics, we can see that the role of academic qualifications only appears in the second article, and people with high academic qualifications may have a slight advantage in "learning ability". Of course, highly educated people may indirectly show advantages in some abilities, but they cannot be the "premise" of advantages. It is precisely because people with high academic qualifications have some "superior" capital that they are "narcissistic". They regard the new starting point as the "end point" of their career, eating the "old capital" and not realizing that their career is standing at a new starting line.
We have noticed that some teachers graduated from key normal universities under the Ministry of Education are expected to be recruited, but the results are counterproductive. The obvious shortcomings in the work are "high-minded, low-minded", boastful and unreliable, and it is difficult to have a "reassuring" performance. Over time, it is disappointment and "abandonment." The problem is that they overestimate their academic advantages, fail to see their shortcomings and gaps, lack goals and plans for their career, and are unwilling to be "successful" and "outstanding". On the other hand, those with low academic qualifications always feel their own shortcomings and gaps. Their sense of urgency in pursuing "professional dignity" has always been the driving force for their development, and their continuous success has become their self-confidence that stands out.
Those with high academic qualifications will have an advantage at least at the professional level. If you realize that joining a job is a new starting point, you can make your own career plan from scratch, step by step, study with an open mind and devote yourself wholeheartedly, and your advantage at the starting point can be continued. Otherwise, Excellence has nothing to do with you.
