智能时代教师面临存在合法性、职业挑战和发展方向的困惑。从师生交往、教师素养和教师使命三个维度对教师存在之基进行考察,可发现人类教师本质生成于师生深度交往关系之中,须具备以优良师德为先的教师核心素养,肩负社会不可或缺的守道者、传道者和弘道者的崇高使命,内蕴人工智能无法僭越的基本规定性。然而,教师在智能时代面临技术资本主义导致智能教育异化、身体赛博格化颠覆传统教育范式以及超级人工智能引发多重危机等困扰。为了突破智能时代教师存在的窘境,应规范智能教育发展以构建良好的育人生态,养成优良师德以彰显职业本质,提升专业素养以炼成新型智慧教师,重视人机和谐以规避技术伦理风险,创新育人范式以赋能学生驭技成人。

In the age of artificial intelligence(AI), human teachers face issues such as the necessity of their existence, professional challenges, and directions of development. This article first examines what makes a teacher in terms of teacher-student interaction, teacher qualities and mission. The identity of a teacher is developed as a result of deep interaction between teacher and student, with professional integrity and ethics as core quality and abidance by code of ethics, dissemination of knowledge and promotion of positive values as lofty missions. It is argued that AI cannot replace human teachers in these senses.Despite this irreplaceability, human teachers are confronted with the alienation of smart education caused by techno-capitalism, the disruption of traditional education paradigm by Cyborgization, and multi crises brought about by super AI. The article also discusses how to break out of these dilemmas.
