A Study on Teachers' Role In Consumer Society

本研究旨在探讨教师在消费社会中的角色，首先观察一所国中的师生关系。通过对三所初中的民族志研究，笔者发现：（1）个人信息在师生关系中起着重要的作用。(2)学生从信息中获得对教师的尊重和服从，因为教师的个人信息是教师是否可靠的标准。另一方面（3）教师对他们的了解更多，能够认识到他们的行为和动机，虽然他们期望彼此之间的人际关系，但他们没有太多的时间进行互动。其次，调查了他们互动不满意的阻碍因素。(4)在此基础上，本文认为，教师不仅是传授学术知识的人，而且应该是榜样、辅导员等。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the teachers' role in the consumer society.Firstly I observed the teacher-student relationship at a junior high school. Based on ethnografic research conducted at three junior high school, I found the following :(1) Personal information play an important part in teacher-student relationship.(2) Students get to respect and obey their teachers from information, because personal information about teachers is the criterion whether teachers can be relied on or not. On the other hand(3) Teachers can know them more and can recognize their behavior and motivation.Although they expect the personal relationship each other, they do not have much time to interact.Secondly I investigate the block factor for which they can't interact satisfactory.(4) Managing time and behavior in the school deprive them of meaning of school life.Based on this research, it is necessary that the teacher isn't only the person that teach the academic curriculla but also the model, the counselleror and so on.
