大学教师的社会使命及其实现

The Social Mission of University Teachers

某种意义上说,大学的社会使命也就是大学教师的社会使命。大学教师的社会使命是成为高层次的教育者、高层次的研究者、高层次的社会事务参与者。总体看,当今的大学教师能够比较好地完成其社会使命,但还有不尽如人意之处,最主要的原因是大学教师在整个社会中,原有的物质和精神方面的优越地位有所下降。政府和社会各方面要提高大学教师的物质待遇,尊重大学教师的学术活动和精神追求等,当然也要对他们进行适当的政治思想教育。

To some extent, universities and teachers share the same social mission. The social mission of university teachers is to develop as high-level educators, high-level researchers and effective participants of social affairs. They have basically achieved their mission, but actually they could fulfill it better. The lack of motivation is due to the decline of their marital status and sense of superiority. Besides the ideological education, there are two methods to generate excitement, increasing incomes and supporting academic researches.
