University teachers

What is the role of a university-level teacher?

At university level, students usually seek higher education in a field of their chosen interest. As the difficulty of the material studied increases, college-level teachers need to have certain qualifications in order to provide the best education possible. What is the purpose of a person teaching in college? We might think that teachers are the people who give us lessons to learn and homework to do, but I find that their role is far more important than that.

Firstly, I believe that the role of a college-level teacher is to provide the best and most accurate education as possible to their students. As university level teachers, they have to be precise in their field of study, but also need to be open-minded to help the students expand their knowledge and challenge their curiosity. It seems to me that higher education is an important period in the life of a student, and that it is crucial to use this time to see and learn as much as possible in order to become accomplished. Therefore, the role of college teachers shouldn’t be to teach the material in a passive way, but to guide the students through a new subject and link it to a wide range of topics, thus opening the eyes of the students to the reality of what they’re learning.

Moreover, and as we have stated previously, the college years of a student are a period of growth, so they are decisive. Hence why I am convinced that university teachers should be able to guide their students through these sometimes difficult or confusing years. Other than teaching their subject, their role is to support teens and young adults through their choices and decisions in a personalized way. It is essential for students to know that they have someone with experience who can be trusted to give them advice about studies, professional careers, or even about life in general.

In conclusion, the role of teacher in higher education is to be a guide and a model, in addition to the role of teaching the subject, because it is highly beneficial to the personal growth and open-mindedness of every college student.
