Abstract

The integration of childcare and preschool education isa crucial measure for establishing a high-quality,inclusive public service system for preschool education.Preschool teachers bear the responsibility and mission of driving and guiding the development of this integration.In this context,the role transformation of preschool teachers constitutes a reconstruction processof professional roles and educational practices from a lifelong development perspective,representing a systemic reform driven by policy,guided by goal transformation,and shaped through professional development.Based on the analysis of the″Overlapping Role Set Model″ from role theory,this study reveals that preschool teachers face multiple challenges in the context of integrating childcare andpreschool education:intensified role tension due to diverse stakeholder structures,blurred responsibility boundaries caused by institutional gaps,and the practical dilemma of overlapping functions mismatched with competency.Therefore,this article proposes pathways to resolve these issues:reconstructing role identity through empowerment and value guidance,clarifying role positioning by improving incentive and promotion systems,and enhancing role competence through optimized teacher training programs.These suggestions provide a theoretical foundation for advancing the high-quality development of preschool education.
