Double-quality teacher should have enough theoretical knowledge and corresponding professional practice skills. He isnot only competent for teaching theory, but also qualified for the guidance of professional practice. The professional practical ability is the core ability of teachers in the vocational colleges. Teachers of the Application-Oriented Institutes should eventually becomethe double-quality teachers. Therefore, to construct a high level teachers＇ teamwith double-quality teachers is the guarantee to improve the teaching quality of the Application-Oriented Institutes, andthe construction of teaching team is a necessary channel to achieve this goal.展开更多
