Traditional belief on teacher development always insists on the opinion of reality orientation,which explains the teacher development as the composition of different competence,such as subject knowledge,teaching skills,teacher reflection,and so on.The traditional belief focuses on the result of teacher development,not the process.However,the existential orientation on teacher development proposes that teacher development is not the simple increase of competence,but the self-growth in the meaning of existence.Teacher's existence way is to practice humanistic ethic,experience personal situation,get rid of the common person's coerce,and lead the way to spirit freedom.
