As the main part of the social living,the educational movement must be in the great change too. The past education,including educational aim,content,means,organizational ways,will change gradually into the one which will be more fit for the 21st century. And therefore,the teachers,who take the very important place in the education activities,must change their role's characteristic too . In my opinion,the changes of the future teachers' role characteristic are the following:First,the teachers will make their external authority into the internal one at the field of the relation between them and the students.Second,in the course of the teaching,the teachers who today teach the students knowledge mainly,will become promoters of the students.Third,in the course of the educational organization,teachers will change their pure administrators step by step,and gradually make their simple teaching methods into the complicated ones,that's to say,the teachers will be the artists who carry out the teaching movements immedicately,creatively according to the changes of environments,objects,contents.Fourth,for the teachers themselves,only in the steady improvement can they be fit for the need of the future educational teaching.Therefore,the qualified teachers are the compound ones with authorities,promoters,artists,learners and researchers.
