The Foundation and Pathway of Teacher Morality Development from the Perspective of Practical Rationality
The development of teacher morality cannot be separated from the guidance of reasonable rationality.Teacher morality refers to the sum of the norms,standards,and moral qualities that teachers,as professional roles,should follow in their educational relations and educational teaching activities.Teacher morality is a way for teachers to grasp the educational world,which shows teachers'understanding of education and teachers themselves,and also shows their way of being as teachers.Practical rationality is man's conceptual grasp and solution to the question of"what should be"and"what should be done"in relation to the world.The two have intrinsic compatibility in the aspects of purpose,methodology,value logic,developing foundation,and operation mechanism.Rationality is the essential strength of the subject,so special attention should be paid to the full development of teachers'moral subjectivity,in order to push the development of teacher morality.The development of teacher morality based on practical rationality is a process of being a"good teacher",which is generated dynamically in the process of teachers'orientation to the virtue practice of education.
