First, demonstration of behavior.
"Teachers are role models of mankind". One of the biggest differences between teachers' labor and other labor is that teachers mainly use their own thoughts, common sense, words and deeds to directly influence the labor object through demonstration. The teacher himself is the most important teacher in the school, the most intuitive and instructive model, and the most vivid model for students. In a word, teacher's demonstration is the most direct and frequent example for students, and it is an indispensable means to guide and promote students' growth.
Second, the specialization of training.
Teachers engaged in school education also need the same professional training as doctors. Education is not only a science, but also an art, which needs special training to master. It needs special knowledge and skills as a guarantee, good professional quality and professional ethics that puts students' education first, and its professional behavior has special standards and strict requirements.
Third, the diversification of roles.
(1) As far as the object of occupation is concerned, the object of teacher occupation is living people, not inanimate substances, but growing children and teenagers. They have subjective initiative, and they are very different, and everyone is different. No professional object in social occupation is so complicated as a teacher. Doctors also target people, but this is a human disease. There is no difference in physiology and anatomy between people. Teachers' professional objects are human growth, physical and mental development, knowledge acquisition, wisdom growth and moral cultivation. This process is different for everyone. It is difficult for a teacher to train every student into a useful person without studying the law of students' growth, understanding the law of education and mastering the correct educational methods.
(2) As far as the contents and tasks of the profession are concerned, teachers should not only teach, but also educate people. Han Yu, an educator in the Tang Dynasty, said that teachers should "preach, teach and dispel doubts". Today is to develop students' physical and mental health and cultivate them into people with ideals, morality, culture and discipline. Education is rich in content and complicated in task. It is not only knowledge that can teach students well, but also teachers. Teachers should not only have professional knowledge, but also have the professional ability to impart knowledge to students and cultivate their lofty ideology and morality.
(3) Teachers' working methods are also different from other social occupations. He doesn't want to use any tools like other professions, but wants to use the teacher's own knowledge, wisdom and personality charm to influence students in the same activities as students. Teachers are disseminators of students' knowledge, enlighteners of wisdom and edifiers of emotions. It is these characteristics of the teaching profession that require teachers to "learn to be a model".
