Chou Li-yu, past principal of Taipei City's Wanfang Senior High School, who worked for many years towards education reform, stresses the need for a theoretical underpinning to that professionalism. To be creative in how they design their classes, teachers will need not only the pedagogy of their own fields of specialization, but a basis in social scientific, psychological, and educational theories as well.
推動教改多年的前萬芳高中校長周麗玉強調，老師要成為專業，需要有理論根據，除了本科學科概念充足，還要有社會學、心理學、教育哲學的基礎，才能創新設計。
