Abstract:

In the critical phase of building a powerful education nation and advancing Chinese-style education modernization, promoting the spirit of educators has become a core issue in teacher team development. The key to transforming this spirit from a value-driven advocacy into a practical norm lies in taking the teachers’ belief system as the inherent foundation. As the core carrier for the emergence, cultivation, and practical transformation of the educators spirit, the teachers’ belief system currently faces three major practical bottlenecks: cultural inheritance, rights allocation, and institutional support, which restrict the realization of high-quality education development and the cultivation of the educators spirit. Centering on the construction logic and practical path of the teachers’ belief system oriented towards the spirit of educators, and adopting the “value-theory-practice” analytical framework, this study integrates philosophical hermeneutics, communicative action theory, and social systems theory to construct an “efficiency-structure” integrated model. The model takes “history-norm-evolution” as its three-dimensional theoretical foundation, comprising three major efficiency systems—cultural generation, policy transformation, and ecological evolution and a four-tiered double-loop structure—meaning base, dynamic axis, action response, and regulatory feedback, forming a dynamic cycle of “structure supporting efficiency and efficiency feeding back structure”. Targeting the three practical bottlenecks, the model clarifies the core function of the teachers’ belief system as a “meaning translation hub”, reveals the dialectical relationship of “value guidance-practical carrier” between the educators spirit and the teachers’ belief system, and breaks through the static and individual limitations of traditional belief research. It provides inherent theoretical support and practical operation mechanisms for the cultivation of the educators spirit and the implementation of the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education.
