Learner Perspectives of Negative and Positive teacher Characteristics: A study

Abstract

This study was conducted on 174 students from 3 different universities and four faculties to seek responses of learners on what they perceive as good and bad characteristics in teachers. The comments of the learners reveal not only pedagogic characteristics, but personality and behavioral ones as well that need to be taken seriously in order to establish rapport with the learners and enhance their motivation to learn.
