Features: The author has formed many views on the role of teachers. Reading these perspectives reveals that they primarily study the teacher's role from a methodological angle, 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 reality, how to understand the role of teachers and what content it involves is not the most important topic. The key is to clarify "what a teacher is," as it determines "what a teacher should do" and "what should be done." This is to reveal the ideological approach to understanding the role of teachers, which is the premise. Undoubtedly, education is a 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 role of teachers, 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 to understanding the role of teachers.
