In some administrative units and state-owned enterprises, the work pressure of employees in their fifties is naturally reduced, which is also a hidden advantage. After all, everyone will get old, and young people can also be given some opportunities. However, in today's universities, teachers around the age of 50 have already entered a difficult stage.
In times of change and challenges, teachers are faced with new problems and tests. It has set off a heated discussion on many social networks about the current situation of university teachers "either promoted or left". In fact, this is a complex issue of university reform, involving the adjustment of the evaluation system for the interests of teachers. Some see it as an opportunity to break away from traditional personnel, while others worry about the impact it could have on the rights and interests of university faculty, leading to polarizing opinions. On the one hand, they believe that this is a necessary reform for universities, and on the other hand, they are worried that the reform may lead to unfair treatment of teachers by the education system. While the proposition is being hotly discussed, there are also some teachers' interests that need to be deepened, which is a grasp of the basic issues of university education. This is the question of how to deal with teachers in the age group of "Fifty Knowing the Destiny of Heaven".
In our cultural tradition, there is a philosophy of life that is more recognized by everyone. It is "fifty can't know the destiny of heaven", the main purpose is to hope that people can let go of the pursuit of fame and fortune when they reach old age, and face life calmly. However, in many universities in China, it is even more difficult for teachers of this age to achieve such a state.
First of all, university performance appraisals are becoming more and more stringent. For teachers around the age of 50, they have always pursued the concept of being responsible for students, trying to enable students to adapt to the times, understand the meaning and value of life, realize the value of life, and pay civic responsibility to the society. Giving students positive thoughts and beliefs promotes their continuous development and guides them to move forward and upward. However, the assessment of teachers in various universities is no longer educating people, but a series of first-class topics. No one cares about the teacher's dedication to class and guidance students, and if you want to be promoted and get performance, you must have **. This is a challenge for teachers around the age of 50, on the one hand, they need to adjust their direction and sprint to write and publish; On the other hand, due to limited energy, it is necessary to abandon the student-oriented educational philosophy that has always been adhered to. The pressure brought about by this has an impact on the conscience of the mind that outsiders cannot imagine.
Secondly, changes in the human environment. As a knowledge transmitter who is proud of his profession all his life, nearly half a hundred teachers have always believed that it is a kind of creative work, with a certain dignity of work, not a simple transmitter, but also manifested in the "transformation", that is, the transformation of human spiritual wealth, which promotes the continuous enrichment and improvement of students' spiritual world, which is also the unique challenge and charm of education. In addition, they have been committed to the formation of intergenerational inheritance and development, the transformation of human knowledge and skills into the memory of ability and spirit, internalized in each individual, and promote the development of human society. These teachers have formed a unique creative charm, and can devote themselves to the creation of human life development, so that each life has creative power, and provide an inexhaustible source of wisdom for society.
In this process, these teachers need to feel respected in order to better impart knowledge and form creativity. But this is very difficult for today's university teachers, especially those in their fifties. There is no environmental condition to stimulate the spiritual potential of students with creative wisdom, and work is only simple for them, without charm and attraction.
Third, there is a lack of humanized management. Universities today see teachers as a tool. In simple terms, it is to achieve the management objectives of the various departments in the organization, taking into account both the status of the teacher and the importance of professionalism as a professional. It's just that through a series of performance appraisals, setting goals, managing strongly, and letting teachers execute. For a teacher of this age, this kind of management is not easy to accept.
Fourth, changes in student needs. Teachers present their personality to their students, not just "professionalism". It is necessary to consider the needs of students comprehensively, but the goal of scientific research and teaching in the school is results-oriented, and teachers are also helpless about this. In particular, the teachers, who are nearly half a hundred years old, have limited energy, and are accustomed to focusing on students, but now they need to disperse their energy, obviously they can't adapt to it, and it's not easy to get used to it. After all, in their hearts, teachers must have a sense of responsibility, and "being a teacher" is a kind of happiness. To become **-oriented, the adaptation process is difficult.
A university teacher around the age of 50 should be a scholar who knows the destiny of heaven and represents the university culture calmly. If they can better convey their outlook on life to students, it is the greatest respect for them.
