Faculty can refer to a group of teachers.
Professorship is a term with several uses linked to teaching . It can refer to all teachers , the position they hold and the career that allows them to obtain the corresponding qualification. The concept derives from the Latin professor , which is equivalent to “he who declares.”
For example: "The teachers announced a strike for next Friday, demanding better salaries" , "I don't know what I will do when I retire: the teachers are very important in life" , "My daughter is studying to be a teacher in Physical Education" .
Teachers as a professional teaching practice
A teacher is an individual who is dedicated to teaching an art , a discipline or a science . In this sense, it could be used as a synonym for teacher , although certain distinctions are usually established (teachers are those who teach in primary school and professors are teachers who work at higher educational levels).
However, in addition to this differentiation, we have to establish that there are many other terms related to teaching staff. Thus, there are interim teachers , who are those who have not obtained a position but teach at a center thanks to a vacancy; professors , who usually teach subjects at the university; and the emeritus professor , who has already retired from teaching but who has certain privileges or benefits precisely because of the work he has carried out.
The notion of teaching staff, in this framework, refers to the professional practice of teaching . People who are part of the teaching staff (in the sense of all teachers), therefore, receive a salary to teach classes and teach their students.
To teach, you must complete the career known as teaching.
A training career
As a training career , teaching is the course that someone must complete to become a teacher. Through this training, the individual receives the necessary knowledge to function as a teacher. In addition to subject-specific instruction, teachers also teach pedagogy and other issues related to teacher-student interaction and group management.
The extension of the teaching staff and their characteristics depend on numerous issues, from the teaching staff in question ( Teachers in Initial Education , Teachers in Physical Education , Teachers in Geography , Teachers in Psychology , etc.) to the educational legislation of each country.
It is important to establish that teachers must always continue training, since that is the way they can be up to date with all the advances and tools that appear and that can help them improve the quality of the teaching they offer. Thus, different political institutions offer ongoing training courses for teachers, so that they can improve their knowledge of languages or learn to use specific computer programs to make slide presentations on subjects or to create activities such as web quests.
Thus, for example, the fact of incorporating the so-called ICT into the classrooms has led many teachers to have to update their knowledge regarding the use of computers and tablets, Internet browsing or the resources that the Internet has available in this regard. .
