Abstract: Parker Palmer gave a multidirectional interpretation of university teachers professional self-construction at the practical rational level,emphasizing that only when “subject”,“students” and “true self” are put into ones professional self-construction,can the teachers professional self-development be gradually promoted as well as their teaching.Palmer analyzes the practical problems in this “triple integration” and puts forward countermeasures to provide some reference for university teachers in their professional development.

Key words: university teaching, professional self-construction, professional development of university teachers, Parker Palmer, practical rationality
