“…Osobine ličnosti, vještine, stavovi, stupanj obrazovanja, odnos prema radu samo su neki od prediktora koji utječu na kvalitetu odgojno-obrazovnog rada učitelja. Whitaker (2004; obilaskom mnoštva škola imao je za cilj utvrditi što izdvaja najbolje učitelje od ostalih. Ustanovio je da je sklop različitih osobina ličnosti učitelja, njegova želja za profesionalnim rastom i usmjerenost prema postignućima svojih učenika, ono što ga razlikuje od ostalih učitelja.…”

Biti učitelj u suvremenom društvu postaje sve izazovnije. Društvena očekivanja od učitelja konstantno rastu. Učitelji zato teže unaprjeđivanju vlastitih osobina i kompetencija. Pri tome je važno znati koje osobine ličnosti i kompetencije društvo očekuje od dobrog učitelja. Vođeni time, cilj ovog rada je cjelovito prikazati dobrog učitelja, uzimajući u obzir njegove poželjne osobine ličnosti, profesionalne kompetencije i percepciju dionika odgojno-obrazovnog procesa. Rezultati pregleda relevantne literature i dosadašnjih istraživanja ukazuju da je dobar učitelj spoj osobina ličnosti poput humanosti, mudrosti, razboritosti, upornosti i dr. te kompetencija poput ostvarivanja pozitivnih odnosa s učenicima, uspješnog upravljanja razredom, prepoznavanja važnosti motivacije i dr. Konačno, dobar je učitelj sinergija poželjnih osobina ličnosti i težnje permanentnog profesionalnog rasta. Stoga ovo istraživanje može doprinijeti praksi pri kreiranju stručnih usavršavanja i izobrazbi učitelja.

While visiting a multitude of schools, Whitaker (2004; aimed to determine what sets the best teachers apart from the rest.

Being a teacher in contemporary society is becoming more and more challenging. Social expectations of teachers are constantly growing. Therefore, teachers strive to improve their characteristics and competencies. In that respect, it is important to know which personality traits and competencies society expects from a good teacher. Guided by that, this paper aims to comprehensively present a good teacher, considering his or her desirable personality traits, professional competencies and perceptions of participants in the educational process. The results of the review of relevant literature and previous research indicate that a good teacher shows a combination of personality traits such as humanity, wisdom, prudence, perseverance, etc. and competencies such as achieving positive relationships with students, successful classroom management, recognizing the importance of motivation and others.Finally, a good teacher is a combination of desirable personality traits and permanent professional growth. Therefore, this research can contribute to the practice of creating professional development and teacher education programs.

“…Some experts also think that effective teachers should add instructional strategies (Harding and Parsons, 2011), classroom management (Gordon, 2012), and knowledge of the subject matter (Stronge and Tonneson, 2012) to their attributes and teaching practices. Nevertheless, considering the dynamic role of teaching and the variety of contexts in which teachers work (Lewis et al, 1999), there is no direct formula for what makes a teacher effective (Whitaker, 2013).…”

To develop a reflective tool for promoting teacher effectiveness among preservice EFL teachers, this article seeks to investigate the effectiveness degree of an EFL teacher as it is being depicted in a popular TV show. This is conducted using the Stronge teacher evaluation system to assess the main character’s level of effectiveness as an EFL teacher (Mr. Brown) in the Mind Your Language TV show. Drawing upon the intersection of the character’s effectiveness within the framework of characterization, representation, and perceived realism theory, a qualitative research method involving seven performance indicators of the Stronge teacher evaluation system was adopted to assess the main character. The findings showed that the character is a highly effective EFL teacher because his personal and professional characteristics are evidenced in the evaluation system’s seven performance standards. This suggests that the Show can be used as a reflective tool by preservice EFL teachers to construct and enhance their professional identities and instructional practices. This work contributes to the existing knowledge of teachers’ representation in movies and its implication in preservice EFL education by providing the first study on the representation of EFL teachers in a TV show. A future research direction is also presented.
