Its relating to loyalty and love his career and preparing him self before going to class and fixed his office hours on his office and his relationships with students and his colleagues
In my view, the career is nothing if not lived through the students - loyalty is due only to the students, each of them, in their singularity and to further their own individual abilities. In doing so the teacher learns and gets better every day.
i agree with you but, through my experience 23 year in teaching out of them 18 years as administrative aspect i observe that some of instructors come to the university teach the class only, and immediately go out the university without giving any intentions to the students and office hours and don't care to the rules in the university.
Your rightful complaint makes me think that everywhere on the globe education is organised from the top down to maintain the system as it is. I guess that anyone with a critical eye would see a tool of power in education.
In Education, higher or lower, as in all fields, the 'functioning' people are often those who neglect the humanistic perspectives just to display strict loyalty to the hand that feeds them. This is the greatest contradiction. On one side we theoretically promote a humanistic approach that must free each students of the constraints; on the other side we materially reward those who help best maintaining the chains as they are. Students get points, teachers get better pay if they conform to last within the system.
I have seen motivated teachers adopt civil servants attitude. Here is a strong contradiction within the field of education. Education could/should be a field of personal development both for the student and the teacher. Unfortunately it is often seen as a safe haven on the part of the professional.
Luckily I know of teachers and school directors who maintain a critical view AND behavior. They do act every day to counter the discriminations that lie at the basis of the school system as it is. They display a strong will to bring change towards a better acceptance of all types of human differences. And they often have to do so against the education system within which they are officiating.
Maybe the system as it is requires too many teachers. When you need so many people, you can't expect to find all good, dedicated persons. The good teacher, the one that lets the student thrive and guide him to discover more by himself who he is and what his abilities are, is a teacher that does not occupy the stage as much as what we see every day. But in a school system that is generated to spread the dominating thought, you need a lot of professionals who do lack passion and loyalty, but will - in ther own selfish interest - act strictly as asked, like civil servants.
The good thing is that I read and hear a lot of complaints about what education is in comparison on what it can or should be. I do believe that sharing positive ideas and organizing a pro-change thought can deliver results. But it will come from the people officiating every day, not from the higher authority.
Adulnaser, with your experience of how education is managed from the top down, do you see ways for education professionals to act for better education from within the system as it is ?
I agree with you in every word you said, according to my experience ,its all in private universities and they are running for profits and they are not giving instructors any motivations ,about your questions in my opinion good education should manage from button to top and not as reverse , and about ways for education professionals to act better education , we should apply for any new instructor wants to teach should singe code of conduct in teaching and education ,second we should give them lectures about ways how to teach and practices in class and select the excellent people as staff with good experience etc......
sorry for the late answer. I read your answer and it calls for another question: how much good can a lecture do to the formation of an education professionals if they start with a different view than what you would propose ?
There is a problem in the fact that each education professional (I don't like the word teacher) acts following his own credo - which is good if we want people to think by themselves. But some people follow the credo that they must teach in forceful, formatting matter. I would hope that the first characteristic required - should there be a selection for Educational Professionals - would be openness of mind. But I guess a certain level of narrowness is appreciated in the way Education is currently put in practice.
