The desired qualities in a primary school teacher

Proces odgoja i obrazovanja je vrlo složen i sastoji se od različitih komponenti. Kako bi se uspješno ostvarili ciljevi tog procesa, velika važnost se pridaje nastavniku i njegovim pedagoškim i drugim sposobnostima. Pred nastavnika se stavljaju razni izazovi i očekivanja, no lagano je zaboraviti da nastavnik svojim ponašanjem i svojom ličnošću utječe na učenike. Iako je teško konkretno reći koje su to osobine nastavnika koje imaju najveći utjecaj na učenika, ovim istraživanjem se željelo vidjeti koje su to osobine za koje učenici smatraju da čine jednog kvalitetnog nastavnika. Zadatak je bio vidjeti koje osobine učenici najviše vole kod svojih nastavnika, smatraju li fizički izgled i spol važnim te koliko je nastavnik odgovoran za njihov uspjeh u obrazovanju. Iz dobivenih rezultata vidljivo je da učenici žele umjereno strogog nastavnika koji ima smisao za humor, zna održati predavanje na zabavan i drugačiji način, zna komunicirati i uspostaviti dobar odnos s učenicima, pravedan je, poštuje ih, potiče i pomaže im. Fizički izgled i spol im ne igraju značajnu ulogu u percipiranju kvalitetnog nastavnika, a odgovornost za uspjeh ne pripisuju samo nastavniku nego zajedničkom trudu i naporima. Potrebno je istaknuti da su osobine i njihovo doživljavanje relativna kategorija koja se s vremenom može promijeniti te pošto je broj ispitanika bio malen, rezultati istraživanja s većim brojem ispitanika mogli bi biti drugačiji.The process of education is very complex and consists of different components. In order to successfully achieve the goals of this process, great emphasis is put on the teacher and his teaching and other abilities. Teachers are presented with various challenges and expectations, but it's easy to forget the impact the teachers behavior and his personality can have on students. Although it is difficult to say specifically which teacher qualities have the greatest impact on the students, the aim of this study was to see which characteristics students believe make a quality teacher. The task was to see which features students love most about their teachers, whether physical appearance and gender play a role and how much of their success in education depends on the teacher. The results show that students prefer a moderately strict teacher with a sense of humor, who knows how to give a lecture in a fun and different way, knows how to communicate and establish a good relationship with the students, respects them, is fair, encourages and helps them. The physical appearance and gender do not play a significant role in the perception of the quality of teachers, and success is not only attributed to the teacher but is rather a joint effort. It should be noted that the characteristics and their perceptions are relative categories that may change over time, and since the number of asked students was small, the results of a research with a bigger number of students could be different
