In a recently published article https://www.researchgate.net/publication/393790721_On_the_problem_of_analyzing_the_professional_identity_of_a_teacher_K_probleme_analitiki_professionalnoj_identicnosti_pedagoga/stats various approaches to the phenomenon of a teacher's professional identity are discussed (including professiographic, competence-based, structural-psychoanalytic, biographical), however, there is a feeling that the main question remains unresolved: what is the current semantic field of a teacher's professional identity in the modern world?

Thank you for the detailed answer! But it also raises further questions: Shouldn't we, in this connection, pose the question of identity as a certain field of political confrontation, in which different forces will produce and impose different models of identity and identification? And if so, then the question of identity turns into yet another platform for the division and fragmentation of the professional community?
António José Rodrigues Rebelo
Thank you for your thoughts! I am deeply convinced that the difference in status and moral clarity between Einstein and Gandhi, on the one hand, and any active university professor, on the other, is described, first of all, in terms of identity.A current professor does not so much have an individual identity (and the further you go, the less so), but he is, first of all, a bearer of a corporate identity. Almost like Goethe: "I am part of that force that eternally wants (Evil? Good?), but always comes to the opposite result!"
On the contrary, those few whom we admire over the decades and centuries are rather bearers of a certain "prophetic" identity, which is spoken of in the Torah: "AND GOD CAME BY NIGHT TO BIL'AM, AND SAID TO HIM: "IF THESE MEN HAVE COME TO CALL YOU, RISE UP, GO WITH THEM; BUT DO ONLY WHAT I TELL YOU." All subsequent differences - language, moral authority, recognition, attitude of contemporaries, etc. - are only projections of this fundamental difference: whether a professor comes as a representative of a corporation, or a public leader as an envoy of higher powers.

So ist's! Wie bei dem Klassiker sagt:Das ist der Weisheit letzter Schluß: Nur der verdient sich Freiheit wie das Leben, Der täglich sie erobern muß. (J. W. von Goethe – Faust) :)
