Study explored the characteristics of high school teachers in Niš (Serbia) as perceived by high school students. A comparison was made between views on their teachers characteristics expressed by two groups of students: vocational schools students and students attending grammar schools. When it comes to the impact of teachers' characteristics on student's perceptions of school, personal characteristics, professional characteristics and teacher's behavior were taken into consideration. A total of 448 students completed three Likert scales that were developed for the purpose of the study (a scale for measuring student's perception of the presence of certain qualities among teachers, a scale for measuring teachers' effort to encourage prosocial behavior and a scale for measuring student's attitude toward school). The study showed significant difference between vocational school teachers' characteristics and characteristics of teachers who work in grammar schools. The positive correlation between students' perceptions of teachers' characteristics and students' attitudes toward school was also confirmed. The positive impact of teachers who possess professional and personal qualities reflects on students by encouraging student's motivation to go to school, reducing the feeling of pressure in school, improving student's perception of school atmosphere and reducing the absence from classes.}, abstract = {El objeto de estudio de este artículo son los distintos perfiles pedagógicos de los profesores de secundaria y la influencia de éstos sobre la percepción de la escuela por parte de los alumnos. Realizado en Niš (Serbia), el estudio que presentamos consiste en el análisis del perfil pedagógico y personal de profesores de secundaria según la percepción de sus alumnos, y la comparación de los resultados entre dos grupos de estudiantes: los de las ‘escuelas vocacionales’ (equivalentes a los ciclos formativos en España), y los institutos. Para evaluar el impacto de la precepción de los alumnos del profesorado sobre su percepción de la escuela, se consideraron las características profesionales, personales y la actitud como docentes del profesorado. Un total de 448 estudiantes completaron tres escalas de Likert elaboradas para el estudio (percepción por parte del alumno de ciertas características entre el profesorado; esfuerzo para promover la conducta prosocial; actitud del alumno respecto a la escuela). Los resultados muestran una diferencia significativa entre el perfil percibido de los profesores en los dos tipos de centro educativo. Se confirmó la correlación positiva entre la percepción de los estudiantes de los perfiles del profesorado y su valoración de la escuela. El impacto positivo del profesorado con cualidades profesionales y personales se refleja en los estudiantes en forma de una mayor motivación para atender, reducción de la presión, y mejora de la percepción del ambiente escolar por parte del alumnado.}, publisher = {Universidad de Granada}, keywords = {Perfil pedagógico}, keywords = {Cualidades}, keywords = {Percepción del alumnado}, keywords = {Escuela secundaria}, keywords = {Teachers' characteristics}, keywords = {Qualities}, keywords = {Students' perceptions}, keywords = {Secondary school}, title = {Teachers´ characteristics and development of students´ attitudes towards school}, author = {Pavlovic, Dragana and Stanisavljevic Petrovic, Zorica and Injac, Maja}, }
