TUTORING ACTIVITY 2: TYPES OF TEACHERS

The study discussed in the article aims to explore the relationship between different types
of teachers (liked, disliked, and neutral) and their impact on the subjective well-being and
academic success of students. By investigating how students categorize their teachers
based on the Big-Five Personality Model, the research seeks to gain a deeper
understanding of how teacher personality traits influence student experiences and
outcomes in the educational setting. This comprehensive analysis aims to provide
valuable insights for the professional development of teachers, informing strategies to
enhance teacher-student interactions, promote positive classroom environments, and
ultimately improve student well-being and academic achievement.

1. Liked teachers significantly enhance student academic achievement: Liked teachers


were found to have a notably positive influence on the academic achievements of students
compared to neutral or disliked teachers. Students under liked teachers reported higher
academic success, demonstrating increased engagement, motivation, and overall better
academic outcomes. This underscores the critical role of positive teacher-student
relationships in fostering student success and highlights the importance of creating
supportive and engaging learning environments.

2. Neutral teachers also positively impact student academic performance: Contrary to


expectations, neutral teachers were shown to have a beneficial influence on student
academic achievement when compared to disliked teachers. Despite not evoking strong
positive emotions like liked teachers, neutral teachers contributed to a supportive
classroom atmosphere that led to improved academic outcomes. This finding emphasizes
the effectiveness of a neutral teaching style in promoting student success and underscores
the importance of a positive classroom environment for academic growth.

3. Variations in student perceptions of teacher personality traits: The study revealed that
students interpret the personality traits of liked, disliked, and neutral teachers differently
based on the Big-Five Personality Model. Liked teachers were associated with positive
emotions and high engagement levels, while disliked teachers elicited negative
sentiments and lower student motivation. Understanding these varying perceptions
provides valuable insights into how teacher-student interactions influence student
experiences and academic performance, guiding efforts to enhance teaching practices and
create a conducive learning environment.
