Teaching and research are the two most basic work tasks in a university. Their relationship coordination or not determines whether the university can better play its functions,is critical to the quality of personnel training, is significant for the legitimacy of the university existing and the teacher identity. In theory, so many people still remember the educational principle that is called the combination of teaching and research in Humboldt period.However, the trend of separation of teaching and research is becoming increasingly obvious in reality. So, whether the combination of teaching and research is just a haunting obsession in people’s minds? What are the factors affecting the separation of teaching and research? What are the internal factors and external conditions of the combination of teaching and research? How to deal with the relationship between teaching and research?In order to solve the above problems, this article adopts the research method of educational ethnography to detailedly depict a professor’s status of teaching and research:constructive regular classroom,open academic salon and virtual blog classroom, which naturally paints a well-proportioned "stereoscopic classroom" scene.The sight is jointly collocated by teaching and research as the main tonal,expressing the core message of the creative talents’cultivation.As a result, teachers and students would be together walking in the free world of teaching, really achieving the organic integration of teaching, research and study.It counterattacks powerfully the argument that teaching and research can not reconcile at the level of education practice.Teaching practice and academic research both are internally paid the fundamental attention under the premise of the academic freedom for these spirits of cooperation, equality, democracy, criticism and innovation.Frankly,these qualities just are the common gene or the intrinsic possibility which leads to organically combine of teaching and research.From the point of view of education belief,however,the combination of teaching and research is not natural, it needs teachers to get enough educational belief. Namely, the essence of education is to promote students’spiritual liberation and remodelling, then realize themselves liberation and walk towards the shore of happiness.Although,the relationship of teaching and research is separated by knowledge specialization, the difference of targets, the teachers’ mission requirements, the uneven distribution of resources, some institutional factors may have a more extensive and profound effect on behaviors of the teacher groups and individuals.From the perspective of system analysis, the separation of teaching and research is mainly due to the convergence mechanism.In order to further clarify the relationship between teaching and research,this article borrows Max Weber’s "rational type" included technology cognitive purport,system cognitive purport,understanding cognitive purport and liberation cognitive purport, and divides into four patterns.It also illustrates that the separation or integration of the relationship between teaching and research is not the natural cause, but has great relationship with teachers organization and individuals.Therefore, in the period of higher education popularization,we should advocate the conditional combination of teaching and research and allow the moderate separation of them, but the complete separation perhaps is not worthy of congratulations.
