论教师专业精神的内涵

On the Conception of Teachers' Professional Spirituality

本文针对目前教师评价中过多注重教师业绩而忽略教师内在精神的问题,提出教师专业精神的概念,认为教师专业精神是体现优秀教师素养的重要方面。尽管专业精神具有内隐特性,本文试图通过构建教师专业精神的三个发展层次,即教师专业认同、教师美德和教师使命,对教师专业精神的内涵作出阐释,旨在理解教师工作的丰富性和挖掘教师发展的内在动因,探索教师在其专业发展生涯中自我完善的可能性和方法。

In the current teacher assessment system, teachers＇ performance is overly emphasized but teachers＇ professional spirituality is almost ignored. The authors suggest that teachers＇ professional spirituality is a critical aspect of excellent teachers. To deal with this problem in the system of teacher assessment, this paper tries to initiate the discussion on teach- ers＇ professional spirituality by firstly exploring the rich conception of it. Even though teachers＇ professional spirituality is often tacit, the authors try to explore the conception by setting up three levels of teachers＇ professional spirituality develop- ment： teachers＇ professional identity as the first level, teachers＇ virtue as the second level and teachers＇ mission as the third level. The paper suggests that the concept of teachers＇ professional spirituality can help understand the rich meaning of teachers＇ professional development.
