Good teacher's personality: an open analysis

This study aims to examine the component elements of the good teacher profile, of the professor wanted by the students to lectures and seminars/laboratories. We start from the premise that identifying and after that knowing how the share of the cognitive forces, emotional and attitudinal ones that compose the teacher's personality in student's opinion are distributed, we will be able to model, through extension, the efficient teacher, with good implications on the teaching, personality. For that, we selected a sample including 80 students of the Petroleum-Gas University from Ploiesti, enrolled in different courses, from the educational sciences and engineering fields. We used, as a technical research method, the check list, and we applied an adapted instrument that provides the possibility of constructing a general hierarchy of the values of the teaching personality, in the students' vision. The resulted profiles constitute for us an opportunity of a broad analysis, and also, we hope, a reason for openness to pedagogical self-improvement.
