Abstract:

Teacher’s development is the practice of a teacher’s life, the continuation and completion of time. Under the background of technology supremacy and efficiency supremacy, teachers are often trapped by “scientific time”, which makes teachers’ lives become “non-selfization”, “institutionalization” and “banalization”, and leads to the separation of teachers’ deep self, the loss of teachers’ self-identity and the lack of sense of consciousness and freedom. Reflecting on the limitations of science time, Bergson’s philosophy of “real time” brings new inspiration for the teachers’ professional development. Based on Bergson’s understanding of “real time”, the reconstruction of teacher time and the development of self-life need to enable teachers to have “time for reflection” and awaken self-awareness from the subject level; to enable teachers to obtain “continuous time” from the institutional level; and to enable teachers to enjoy “free time” from the meaning level, and achieve life growth.

Key words: philosophy of life, teacher time, science time, real time
