Empirical evidence from a survey of the moral construction of university teachers in China

This study was conducted to explore the current situation and enhancement strategies of university teachers’ moral construction in China. Based on the cognitive and behavioral status of university teachers’ morality, we set up and distributed a survey questionnaire on university teachers’ morality. The survey results found that the construction of teachers’ morality in China has been fruitful, but the current level of university teachers’ morality still needs to be improved. On this basis, we put forward some practical strategies to promote the construction of teachers’ morality by strengthening the top-level design, improving the reward and punishment supervision system, inheriting and carrying forward the fine tradition of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education, and enhancing teachers’ subjective consciousness.
