Autorytet nauczyciela przedmiotów technicznych na podstawie badań

Abstract

Nowadays, the authority of a technical subject teacher seems to decline in many junior high schools in Poland. The opinion of teachers about their own work and respect tends to be overestimated when compared to what we can elicit from pupils. Technical subject teachers have great respect among elementary school pupils but as regards junior high school pupils, the opinions vary. The teachers seem not to remember that the very fact of being a teacher does not guarantee having authority among pupils as the authority has to be gained by hard work and has to be constantly maintained. It is a difficult task but possible to be performed providing a teacher remembers about and respects a few rules. The following project shows the elements which constitute a teacher’s authority.
