A few days ago, there was some awkwardness between netizens and students, discussing it online in science.In my blog post: "Is it fair to be attacked by students like this?The commentary read: "First of all, I don't agree with the student's approach!But maybe because you're young yourself!So I can't stand it."There are many ways to communicate between teachers and students so there is no need to get angry.Bo You's reply: "Mr. Liu, as a teacher, is it wrong to ask students to pay attention to the lecture?"It seems that this blogger is still very responsible for his teaching work, and I think it is difficult to discuss some specific ways of teaching in university classroom for a while.I also occasionally see some students on the Internet to help individual teachers do some housework (the teacher's family is sick) they think that occasionally doing some housework seems to be outside of study, teachers suspected of doing short work.Here comes an important topic: "How exactly should teachers and students get along?"It's worth discussing with netizens on ScienceNet.
The topic of "teacher-student relationship" should be one of the eternal topics on the science web.To be realistic, although we can not accurately outline the "ideal state" of the teacher-student relationship, but it is not difficult to discuss our current social background should have teacher-student relationship.As we all know, according to the traditional teacher-student relationship, there are two main types: (1) teacher-student relationship, that is, teacher-student relationship and student-student relationship.(2) The relationship between teaching and learning means that both teachers and students interact and promote each other and improve together.This relationship, which seems to place both teachers and students on an equal footing, is certainly true, but it may not be possible, especially in the face of overconfident teachers and students.However, I think that the relationship between teachers and students does not exactly define the relationship between teachers and students in our society.
First of all, the relationship between undergraduates and teachers is relatively simple, because there is not much communication between the two, mainly a teaching and learning relationship.After all, there is an essential difference between college education and primary and secondary education. The former belongs to self-directed learning, the latter belongs to passive learning, or examination-oriented learning.Therefore, in undergraduate education, the relationship between teachers and students is fully reflected in the initiative of both teachers and students.But as I see it, teachers who undertake undergraduate teaching are often less likely to talk to students about extracurricular knowledge, leaving after class is a true reflection of the relationship.When we went to college, we were usually equipped with special assistant teachers, so this is the case with the main lecture teachers, usually not the respect of the main lecture teachers.Some courses do not have special assistant teachers, so teachers and students will answer questions related to the course (especially in the pre-examination review stage) within the prescribed time, there will be no other exchanges."Deputy Dean Martin has offered to break the MIT record and make all students participate in research projects before graduation," said a recent news report from the Singapore University of Technology and Design-SUTD.This is, of course, an advanced undergraduate training system that ensures a high degree of "intimate contact" between students and students during the course of their studies.
The most important aspect of the relationship between teachers and students in university is the postgraduate period, especially the master's degree, and even post-doctoral and stay-at-school teacher.Since the post-doctoral period is usually 5-8 years, and the master's degree, doctoral degree and post-doctoral degree are sometimes divided into several mentors, this kind of teacher-student relationship is complicated.Famous universities in Europe and the United States generally do not allow themselves to stay as teachers, at least to other universities or research institutions to do a round of post-doctoral research, or graduate from a foreign university.Now some young teachers are less than a few years older than his graduate students, and relationships between teachers and students are sometimes interesting, such as buddy relationships and "angry" or "competitive"As an older professor and young professor, there is still a certain difference in attitude and style of learning.I have a professor in his fifties who is a little short-tempered and has a very loud voice. He always scolds his students. Some students are not used to it.Apart from his disposition, I always tell the students about the professor's merits. He spends all his research funds on research and students, which is a very good example of a professor.What am I afraid of when I tell my students that I'm hot-tempered?You make the most of what he offers and do your research well.Some professors have a good temper, but his main energy is spent on "being a person", knowledge is general, students can not always follow him only "being a person" and "not learning" to do things, others how to survive.No one is perfect. Students must weigh the pros and cons of choosing a mentor and make the right decisions.
I have always believed that a good teacher-student relationship should be a harmonious one, which belongs to the spiritual level.You can imagine, no matter how awesome the tutor is, how smart the student is, how stubborn are both, the relationship between the teacher and the teacher is always very stiff, and it's hard to "grow up healthy" in such an environment.As a teacher, I understand that I should at least be able to provide students with a better academic environment (e.g., provide students with reasonable research funds, such as attendance, analysis and calculation, etc.
A good teacher-student relationship should support students' academic development in addition to the spiritual level, especially those who are diligent and promising.An old professor has had the good fortune to meet such students, despite his limited funding (mainly from several state funds and other laboratory funds) who are about the same age as his son.At the same time, try to care about them in life so that they have no worries.A poor student, who is exempt from examination for his master's degree, is hardworking and appreciated by the old professor.He lent her money twice from her salary to meet the urgent needs of her family. She planned to apply for a Ph.D. postgraduate exam at Peking University in advance, but was shy of asking the old professor to read his Ph.D.The old professor told her that you were going to apply for the Ph.D. program at Peking University CYS. He was very happy and would support you very much.The old professor said that wherever you go from now on you will be his student and announced that you will not have to pay back the money you borrowed from him.Afterwards, the student went on to study for a doctorate at Peking University and did postdoctoral research at the University of Houston, and returned home to work. Now he is doing a good job.The old professor also has a master's and master's student who has a comprehensive moral and intellectual development. His basic education is a junior college student.But throughout the five-year postgraduate study period, he worked very hard, all subjects excellent, scientific research is done well, the results are fruitful, he trained graduate students in a very positive "performance engineering."Their teacher-student relationship was so harmonious that they insisted on arranging for him to go abroad to finish an international conference even on the eve of his return to work.During his studies, he published a number of papers in leading international publications, all of which are first authors of students' academic development, among which are first authors and correspondence authors.The old professor felt in the good students that although he retired, his academic career seemed to continue.
In the teacher-student relationship, my view is still dominated by students.This is because it is not realistic for a teacher, especially an older teacher (after 50s and 60s), to make major changes to accommodate the "glamorous" students of modern society.In order to learn and experience more scientific research knowledge and achieve more results, we should try our best to adapt to the style of the mentor, cooperate with the mentor to complete the scientific research project, and win the teacher's trust.Your graduate work and life will be sunny and your academic path will be smoother.
