Research on the Connotation of Teacher Ethics in Chinese Higher Educational Institutions in the New Era

Currently, the discussion of public or private ethics, high or low standards, self-discipline or self-discipline, etc., has emerged in Chinese university teacher ethics, which marks a profound change in the connotation of teacher ethics in Chinese universities in the new era, with new features. Based on the vision of international teacher ethics, learning and understanding General Secretary Xi’s important discussions on teacher ethics, and sorting out China’s policies and systems for teacher ethics construction, this study argues that teacher ethics in Higher educational institutions is a combination of the “first-level index” of ethics, and three “second-level indexes” of “occupational ethics, personal ethics, and social ethics”, and it is a unity of ethical concepts and ethical behaviors. It is not a specific quality or ability, but an important guideline for regulating the mutual relations between teachers and other communities of interest, and is the ethical foundation of teachers’ quality.
