ABSTRACT

The development of information and technology has changed education namely teaching and learning. This paper analyzed the main characteristic of university teachers’ professional growth in digital era by theoretically analyzing the impact on education of information and technology. In the new era, teachers should assume more abundant roles, such as lecturer in the classroom environment, model of students’ life, mentor/instructor, teaching evaluator, resource developer, planner, leader and manager, etc. Teachers in the digital era should own the qualities of “foundation”, “growth”, and “expansion”. On this basis, several suggestions for promotion of teachers’ professional growth have been given. It is necessary to explore the way of professional growth for university teachers in the IT age by constructing a UGIT collaborative “front and behind continued” teacher cultivation mechanism; exploring a practice-oriented, precise, scientific and demand-driven cultivation model; and strengthening the training of teachers’ IT application ability.
