In this article are presented situations in which the feeling of dignity of a person is lost or decreases and cannot be restored without professional intervention. This loss is one of the reasons of social exclusion in communities. A person with social issues has no abilities to emphasize her/his own uniqueness and authenticity, s/he stops to progress physically, intellectually and spiritually. In this way these persons enter the field of social worker’s help. In this field of help, one of the main factors in the restoration of human dignity is the social worker her/himself: her/his personality can have a huge influence on his client. The main research question in this study is the following: How should a social worker construct the helping process to help the client to restore her/his human dignity? Research object was the social worker’s help in the process of the restoration of human dignity.

This principle is based on moral values, reciprocal responsibility, mutual respect, sincerity, confidentiality and empathy. These components create a trustful environment where, by sustaining client’s free choice and a right of decision, the possibility to achieve client’s openness emerges.

Šiame straipsnyje analizuojami mokytojų asmenybės bruožai ir atliekami vaidmenys ugdymo procese, pagrindžiant jų ryšį su paauglių orumo ugdymusi. Mokymo ir auklėjimo procesuose svarbiausias ugdymo(si) instrumentas yra mokytojo asmenybė. Asmeninės žmogaus savybės visuomenėje yra vertinamos tos, kurios parodo orumo realizavimą elgesyje ir santykiuose, t. y. dorovinės vertybės, kurių pagrindu reiškiasi orumas.Tyrimo probleminis klausimas: kokie mokytojo asmenybės bruožai ir ugdymo procese atliekami vaidmenys yra susiję su paauglių orumo ugdymu bei ugdymusi? Probleminis klausimas neatsiejamas nuo tyrimo objekto — ryšio tarp mokytojo atliekamų vaidmenų ir paauglių orumo ugdymosi. Todėl išsikeltu tyrimo tikslu siekiama apibūdinti bei nustatyti mokytojų asmenybės bruožus ir atliekamus vaidmenis ugdymo procese, pagrindžiant jų ryšį su paauglių orumo ugdymusi. Duomenų rinkimo metodas — apklausa raštu, naudojant mišraus tipo klausimyną. Klausimyną sudarė 7 matricos tipo klausimai, apimantys 63 uždarus teiginius.Statistinė tyrimo duomenų analizė atlikta naudojant programų paketą SPSS for Windows 12.0. Aprašomosios statistikos metodais apskaičiuotos įvairių rodiklių skaitinės charakteristikos (procentinis atsakymų į klausimus skirstinys ir standar-tinis nuokrypis (SN), parodantis procentinius duomenis). Koreliacinė analizė atlikta pagal Spirmeną, nes klausimynas nėra traktuotinas kaip standartizuotas testas. Kokybiniai duomenys analizuoti remiantis kokybine turinio analize.Straipsnyje atskleidžiama, kad mokytojas ugdymo procese atlieka vyresniojo draugo (mentoriaus), klasės lyderio, auklėtojo, informatoriaus, dalyko dėstytojo ir socialinio pedagogo vaidmenis. Gauti kiekybinio tyrimo rezultatai leidžia teigti, kad: a) mokytojo, kaip mentoriaus, vaidmuo egzistuoja tik teoriškai, nes mokytojai menkai tegeba pel-nyti moksleivių pasitikėjimą ir mokytojas nėra tas asmuo, kuriuo pavyzdžiu jie sektų; b) mokiniai nesižavi mokytojo asmenybe ir jo buvimas klasėje nesudaro sąlygų gerai jaustis, neskatina atvirumo. Tai leidžia manyti, kad mokytojas, kaip klasės lyderis, paauglių orumo ugdymesi neatlieka svarbaus vaidmens; c) mokytojas, kaip auklėtojas, geba būti dėmesingas ir rūpestingas, tačiau mokiniai, bendraudami su auklėtoju, neišmoksta gerbti savęs ir kitų; d) mokytojai retai gerbia mokinių nuomonę ir būna teisingi, taigi mokytojas, atlikdamas informatoriaus vaidmenį, tik iš dalies turi įtakos mokiniams ugdantis orumą; e) mokytojas, kaip dalyko dėstytojas, yra plačiai išugdęs dalyko mokytojo vaidmeniui realizuoti būtinus gebėjimus; f) mokytojas, kaip socialinis pedagogas, retai geba mokinius auklėti savo asmenybės pavyzdžiu, o tai leidžia teigti, kad nedaro įtakos paauglių orumo ugdymuisi.
