PERSONAL TRAITS OF TEACHERS VALUED BY YOUNG PEOPLE

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the significance of teachers' personality determinants in shaping actions aimed at creating a relational space that fosters the optimal development of young people. The teaching profession is multidimensional and eclectic, requiring diverse professional competencies. Teachers' individual characteristics define the quality and scope of these competencies. A specific parallelism is assumed between a teacher's complex attributes and personal traits. Pedagogical theory presents theoretical models of teachers' personalities in relation to their effectiveness in working with students. Therefore, it is assumed that the source of effectiveness lies not only in instrumental dispositions but also in axiological and personal ones. The study investigates which of teachers' personal traits are most valued by students and whether students' interest profiles are related to their preferences regarding teachers' personal qualities. To address these research questions, qualitative and quantitative studies were conducted on a sample of 903 first-year students representing four fields of study: medical, IT, pedagogical, and physical education-related.
