Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the work behavior ability, professional quality, and professional development of teachers in a Chinese university, and to propose a development plan for college teachers based on the above research. A total of 385 teachers from a university in China participated in this study. Weighted average and ranking, regression analysis, and analysis of variance were used for data analysis. The results of the study showed that teachers in universities had strong working abilities, among which the education ability was the strongest, the teaching ability was good, and the scientific research ability was relatively weak. Excellent professional quality, professional spirit is the best, professional ethics is also very good, professional knowledge is relatively weak. The overall trend of professional development is good, teachers participate in the most professional teaching activities, professional opportunities are many, and professional support is relatively weak. There were significant differences in the evaluation of teachers of different ages and educational backgrounds in work behavior ability, professional quality and professional development, but no significant differences in their gender and time of education. There was an obvious relationship among the three of them. The stronger the teacher’s work behavior ability, the better the professional quality, the better the situation of professional development and the better the sustainable development of teachers. According to the above research results, the researchers formulated a college teacher development plan to help college teachers further improve their work behavior ability and professional quality, and promote their better professional development.
