Abstract:
Nowadays teachers are placed in a showy and groundless mind in educational practice because of the crisis of their identities caused by modernity, their disordered identities caused by varieties of external norms, and unjustified theorization caused by the regular criteria of academic research. An ontological inquiry of the teacher’s identity calls for the following three bases: the “Iyou” relationship between teacher and students is the key for the teacher’s existence; educational practice is the foundation of the teacher’s establishment in society; educational intelligence is the basis for the acceptance and growth of the teacher’s identity. The abovementioned three bases for the ontological inquiry of the teacher’s identity are closely related and allow no separation.
