Abstract
The construction of teachers’ morality has always been the focus of education. It is of positive significance to understand the current situation of teachers’ morality in universities. However, teachers and students may have different understandings of the connotation and current situation of teachers’ morality. Therefore, the self-designed Questionnaire of Teachers ’ Morality for students and teachers is used to understand the current situation of teachers’ morality in universities from different perspectives of teachers and students and conduct comparative researchers. The results showed that the total average score and each dimension score of teachers’ self-evaluation were significantly higher than those of students. Based on the research results, the future education work can promote the construction of teachers’ morality in the aspects of perfecting the management mechanism, optimizing the effective evaluation tools, strengthening the construction of a benign relationship between teachers and students.
