How to say "educator" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 教育者きょういくしゃCommon
    nounThe common, default word for an educator: someone who teaches or works in education, and the usual rendering of 'educationalist' as well. A safe choice in most contexts.
    タイレルの調査ちょうさで収集しゅうしゅうされたデータは、管理者かんりしゃにとっても教育者きょういくしゃにとっても非常ひじょうに価値かちの高たかいものである。↗
    The data collected in Tyrel's research is of great value both to administrators and to educators.
  • 教育家きょういくか
    nounAlso an educator, but less common; it tends to suggest someone devoted to education or known as a figure in the field. For a neutral reference to an educator, 教育者 is the usual choice.

Use 教育者 as the default for 'educator'—a person who teaches or works in education, including the 'educationalist' sense; 教育家 also means educator but is less common and leans toward someone devoted to or known for the field.
