Abstract(s)
The current situation of education has changed: the social, economic and
personal circumstances of the population require a more complex and
demanding teacher than a few years ago (Hernández, 2007).
Objective: To know the variables assigned to the competent teacher – through
the perception of a sample of teachers - in order to create a profile in terms of
effective teaching practice, for the present day.
Method: A transversal, descriptive and qualitative study, using "grounded
theory" methodology, with semi-structured interviews conducted to a
purposive sample of 60 subjects: 7 preschool teachers and 53 primary and
lower secondary school teachers aged 22 to 59, within 4 to 30 years of
working experience. The discursive contents obtained were subjected to a
content analysis, from which a "categorical tree" emerged defining the profile
of the ideal teacher.
Conclusions: The skills profile obtained shows three main categories:
"Emotional Competence", "Personality Traits" and "Scientific and Teaching
Competence".
- The first, "Emotional Competence" with 226 discursive references
(knowing how to read nonverbal language; paying attention, managing
emotions/relationships; learning how to put oneself in the shoes of the
student, being assertive; respectful, being positive; being creative…);
- The second main category, "Personality Traits" with 115 discursive
references (duteous; rigorous…);
- The third main category refers to "Scientific and Teaching Skills" with 45
discursive references (updated scientific knowledge, appropriateness of
strategies…).
