THE REINVENTION OF TEACHERS' ROLES IN THE POST-AI ERA: THE TRANSFORMATION PATH FROM KNOWLEDGE IMPARTER TO METACOGNITIVE COACH

In the post-AI era, the role of teachers is undergoing a transformation from knowledge imparters to metacognitive coaches. This transformation aims to adapt to changes in the educational environment, meet the diverse learning needs of students, and improve the quality of education. During the transformation process, teachers face challenges such as technology integration, changes in teaching methods, reshaping of role orientation, and lack of emotional care. To address these challenges, teachers need to enhance their technical training, innovate teaching methods, clarify their role orientation, and pay attention to students' emotional needs. Looking forward, with the continuous development of AI technology and the advancement of education internationalization, the roles of teachers will be further enriched and expanded, including utilizing AI technology to provide personalized learning resources and feedback, as well as possessing cross-cultural communication skills. Therefore, teachers need to continuously learn and adapt to the new technological environment, enhance their professional literacy and teaching abilities, in order to cultivate more talents with innovative thinking and autonomous learning abilities for the new era.
