Higher School Teacher's Quality Under The Circumstance Of Internationalization Of Higher Education

Teacher's quality, just like education itself, is still an old and new topic that arouses people's reconsideration. At the turning of a new century when everything is changing rapidly, people usually give a re-examination to the existing education and try to find out as many faults as possible with the hope of bettering its statement and therefore endow it with new destiny ending in pointing out the problem of teachers' qualities and resetting their social places.In current China, higher education is standing before the greatest turning point of a new stage, Internationalization of Higher Education. It provides us a good chance to develop our higher education and brings us a heavy challenge as well. Therefore, we should adjust constantly our training polices, develop our scientific research, widen our social functions, strengthen our international communication and cooperation. Under this circumstance, what qualities should higher schoolteachers have and how to improve them becomes an urgent task before us. This paper tries to make some argument on this topic.Beginning from pointing out the challenges brought out to our higher education by the Internationalization of Higher Education, this paper compares the teachers' qualities between some advanced foreign countries and current China together with their different quality demands, analyzes the statement of Chinese higher schoolteachers' qualities, points out that Chinese higher schoolteachers should have some corresponding levels in morality, knowledge and competence that needs the newest and further quality contents. They should have international sighting and native sense in moral. As a teacher, one should love and respect his post firstly, and then it is emphasized that one should have profound professional knowledge achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of a subject and developing it, especially in the field of education. One should be competent in renewing teaching materials, creating new teaching methods, mastering skillfully multi-medial technology in teaching and using smoothly bilingual language tools in classrooms. To be better in inventing and creating, to be more competent in dealing teaching and researching, to be moreexcellent in knowledge obtaining, higher schoolteachers should always struggle to be relatively qualified. Meanwhile, higher information literacy and stronger international communicative competence are particularly mentioned for higher schoolteachers.There are many ways to improve teacher's qualities. Using advanced countries' experiences for reference, this paper argues that our higher schoolteachers' training should develop from elementary training and degree recovery into life-time quality education which aims at renewing and fully improving their competences in every respects, instead of depending only on governmental efforts, the union of governments, schools and individuals have their own duties each in the process. Pre-job training and on-the-job training are actually two practical ways to improve teachers' qualities. How to take pre-job training? Take a teacher-appointing reform through stressing high schoolteacher's qualification and popularizing appointing system, give a continuous chance of study to those who need to raise their degree for higher diplomas or for some professional skills. On the other hand, this paper argues that we may, through stressing on evaluation, take a whole synthesized quality training for the purpose of improving our higher schoolteacher's qualities steadily when they are on job.
