Teaching process is the most popular place for teachers'vocational selfhood to work on students'academic development. Otherwise the discussion here will be partial, incidental and provisional and will damage the quality of this study.Through the study this thesis arrived at this conclusion that college teachers'vocational selfhood composed of teaching ability and model morality is in fact the richest and most concrete course from which students'academic development (including knowledge acquirement and ability development) benefit much.
