Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of teachers in the modern educational process. To achieve this goal, a large-scale survey of teachers (N=419) and students (N=1372) was conducted in 2022 at Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Russia), one of the leading universities in Russia. The research provides insights into the transformation of teaching status and role. The function of transferring theoretical knowledge is gradually giving way to a more student-centered approach, characterized by an increased emphasis on mentoring. The study identifies both traditional and emerging roles performed by higher education teachers in the context of digitalization within the modern information society.
