The image of the teacher in the representation of modern students in the conditions of the educational process
This article presents an empirical study of the image of the teacher in the representation of modern students in the conditions of the educational process. The article substantiates the relevance of the study of the features of the teacher's perception by students. A wide review of the literature sources that reflect this issue is carried out. The purpose of this study is to generalize some of the results of the study of socio-pedagogical perception as an integral part of the educational process. The article reveals the features of social perception and its impact on the effectiveness of interaction between students and teachers in educational activities. The most significant qualities of the teacher for students are revealed both at the initial stage of communication with him, and in the process of further interaction. The most significant for students are such pedagogical qualities as the ability to transfer knowledge in an interesting way, professionalism in work, high intelligence, education and competence. Respondents assign an important role to the communicative qualities of the teacher (for example, the ability of the teacher to communicate and build friendly relations with students based on the principles of trust and partnership). The traditional role of the teacher as a translator of knowledge has been reduced. The role of the teacher as a professional person increases, which helps the student to develop a certain system of values and views. Use in the study of factor analysis allowed to reliably identify personal and professional qualities of the teacher relevant to the student, and describe the set of likely causal relationships between input variables. The main results of the study are presented in the tables. The results of the research can find further practical application in pedagogy, in pedagogical and social psychology, and are also necessary for the pedagogical improvement of the educational process.
