Features: The author has formed many viewpoints on the understanding of the teacher's role. Reading these viewpoints reveals that they primarily study the teacher's role from a methodological perspective, discussing specific methodological issues such as what should be done and how it should be done. This is a very clear technologically-oriented research approach. In fact, how to understand the teacher's role and what content it involves are not the most important topics. The key is to clarify "what a teacher is," as it determines "what a teacher should do" and "what a teacher should do." This is to reveal the ideological approach to understanding the teacher's role, which is the premise. Undoubtedly, education is human activity and a channel for enhancing human subjectivity. Therefore, the book elaborates that the ideological approach to understanding life is the foundation for recognizing the teacher's role, requiring an understanding of the teacher's role in the mutual constitution with the real world. This overcomes the limitations of analyzing the teacher's role from the dimensions of scientific knowledge and professional skills, expanding the pathways for understanding the teacher's role.
