Abstract

Universities serve as a comprehensive platform integrating educational development, scientific and technological innovation, and talent cultivation. University teachers are vital drivers of the integrated development of education, technology, and talent, creators and disseminators of knowledge, and more importantly, enlighteners of students' minds and guides for their growth. University teachers should fully recognize their roles as disseminators of knowledge, researchers in science, designers of curriculum and instruction, lifelong learners, facilitators of student learning, and counselors for student mental health. Universities should use effective cultivation pathways and strategies to cultivate teachers' professional competencies.
