Abstract

Teaching and research activities are of great significance to the professional development of teachers. The basic psychological needs of teachers include autonomy, competence, and attribution. The engagement of teachers in teaching and research activities can be analyzed from these three perspectives. Under the management system of teaching and research, teachers generally lack autonomy in the organization of teaching and research activities; they are also lack scientific research knowledge and ability; in addition, under the influence of harmonious interpersonal relationships and the culture of individualism, there is a dearth in real communication among teachers. In light of this, we propose targeted countermeasures to promote the vitality of teaching and research activities.
