Abstract

Centering on the construction demand of the teaching team in the new era, this study integrates the connotation of the spirit of educators with the technical characteristics of generative AI to construct a collaborative innovation model for the education of "Great Teachers". Taking the "Three-Dimensional Radiation Model of the Spirit of Educators" (radiation layer of ideals and beliefs, moral practice, and innovative education) as the theoretical core, a "double helix" education system is built by combining the technical attributes of generative AI. The collaborative effect of technological empowerment and spiritual cultivation is verified through the data analysis of the "AI + Teacher Morality" experimental class of Hainan Normal University. The research finds that the deep integration of technological empowerment and humanistic guidance is the core key to optimizing the teacher moral cultivation education system. This research provides a paradigm reference for the construction of the teaching team under the background of Hainan Free Trade Port, and also offers theoretical support and practical paths for the transformation of teachers' roles in the intelligent era.
