Teachers'personal philosophy of teaching is the unique "self drive during the teachers' teaching process and it is the objective requirement to ensure effective teaching activities, simultaneously gradually developed teachers'personal teaching style. Influenced by Tool Rationalism, however, teaching activities shows its "material priority and value backward" development state, which causes the deletion of teachers'personal philosophy of teaching. It shows that putting too much weight on habits teaching while neglecting to explore the inner base for teaching, putting too much weight on knowledge teaching while neglecting rational guidance for teaching values, putting too much weight on approaches while neglecting to cultivate the consciousness for methodology, and putting too much weight on unified evaluation while neglecting the reasonable personality evaluation for teachers. At present, as the individual unique "self drive during the teachers'teaching activities, the teachers' personal philosophy of teaching is not only the objective requirement for constructing lively classes, but also an important mark of well professional development of teachers under the time of well developed teacher professionalization and improved teaching quality. From the above, the research on teachers'personal philosophy of teaching incarnates the social mission of educators.What is the teachers'personal philosophy of teaching? There is an altercation over this issue in academia, however, from the author's point of view in this paper, as one's capability or knowledge, it will be implicated in personal ideas while its formation will be along with the deepening of understanding and practice for teaching from a certain extent.Teachers'personal philosophy of teaching is a concept with complexity.To take theoretical foundation and principle of teachers' personal teaching philosophy as the breakthrough point, this paper analyze the concept, form, connotation, the content and characteristics of teaching philosophy, and analyze the difference between teachers'personal philosophy of teaching and common philosophy of teaching. Based on the survey for form approach and means of expression about teachers'personal philosophy of teaching in the teachers group, the researchers go deep into the special group with elementary and secondary school teachers, then make a further analysis on teachers'personal philosophy of teaching. In order to contextually embodied the formation process and influence factors for teachers' personal philosophy of teaching, the researchers made a case study, meanwhile gave an thorough analysis of her own learning, life and teaching experience by utilizing the content framework of teachers'personal philosophy of teaching in which reflecting the existence mode, the characteristic, the development and influence factors of teachers'personal philosophy of teaching.The whole forming process for teachers'personal philosophy of teaching is rather complicated which impacted by many kinds of factors. Whether a teacher's personal philosophy of teaching is mature or not can be tested by his/her theoretical and practical knowledge in teaching. In fact, a teacher's philosophy of teaching takes shape in the process of a long time of teaching. After it is formed, it provides guidance for the teaching process so that the teaching practice progresses reasonably and effectively. It is certain that the personal philosophy about teaching of a teacher is formed dynamically, for during the formation, the teacher has to learn the educational or teaching theories of different sources, and then digest them so that they can be used in his/her teaching practice, which should be reflected from time to time as well. Thus, the personal philosophy of teaching can gradually get close to perfect. If a teacher can teach in his/her individual way, then, his/her philosophy of teaching has been brought into the utmost play.The expression of teachers' personal philosophy of teaching is just an externalized process of teachers' personal systematic perception. It means the key teaching characteristics of teachers themselves besides their lives, and their bodies. This kind of theoretical expression stands for personal teaching activities. Others read teachers themselves by their philosophy of teaching. Their individual expressions of teachers' personal philosophy of teaching make up the keystone of teachers' teaching life vividly and well. The author will show opinion with the live sample and classifies the philosophy into two teaching words expressions and teaching activities expression. And also for each of these two, they have their own ways--teaching words with metaphor, narrative and existing teaching case, teaching activities with rules and personal wisdom.Obviously, teachers can promote their level of professional development little by little. When it turns to the real teaching activities and professional development, teachers as the subject should try to make up their own philosophy of teaching to fulfill their teaching goals and become an efficient ones. Meanwhile, owning personal philosophy of teaching is a sign of teachers' theory level progress, also the theoretical basis of personal teaching style. All in all, the author believes constructing knowledge frame system, improving teachers' professional quality, learning teaching experience from other teachers, creating a relaxed academic atmosphere, intensifying teaching rational rethink and awakening philosophy expressing are the effective ways to achieve the configuration of teachers' personal philosophy of teaching.
