Now as a teacher, I know that teaching is emotional labor and teachers are emotional workers. In this era of rapid development, teachers will never be replaced.
Then what is emotional labor?
Emotional labor first appeared in the field of social psychology. Let me give you a familiar example. If you are a team leader or product manager, the most important thing you should do every day is to pay attention to the emotional state or user experience of everyone in the team. This is emotional labor.
Marked by 20 19, the nature of teachers' work is changing quietly, from the original knowledge giver to the emotional worker. In other words, if the future teacher is still only a role of explaining and imparting knowledge, then he will be replaced and become an emotional worker, so there is no substitute.
? No educational method can replace the teacher's face-to-face influence on children. A caring look, a cheering body movement, and one-on-one communication every day. In this high-density communication and feedback between teachers and students,
Children will be inspired, which is irreplaceable by online teaching. In fact, all this described by Khan is called emotional labor.
Another person is also a typical emotional worker. This person is my mother. No matter how many parenting experts, experts who take care of babies, month-olds and nannies, or elders who help take care of babies every day, they can't replace mothers. Even if a mother does nothing, all she has to do is look at her children and smile, which brings them full of love and security. In fact, teachers play this role in students' learning process.
I hope that in the future, I will be an emotional worker, encouraging, praising and helping my students.
