INTERPRETATION

Questions:

1. Which of the twelve attributes is the highest among the teachers? The highest attributes are compassion, pleasantness and reliability.

2. Which of the twelve attributes is the lowest among the teachers? The lowest attributes are resourcefulness and Emotional Stability.

3. How many teachers are low in emotional stability? There are two teachers who are low in emotional stability.

4. How many teachers are high in compassion? There are three teachers who are high in compassion.

5. What six attributes are found to be strong among the teachers? Only three (3) attributes are found to be strong or very high enough among the teachers compassion, pleasantness and reliability

6. What six attributes are found to be weak among the teachers? Only four attributes are found to be weak among the teachers - resourcefulness, self- motivation and selfconfidence.

7. What interesting observations can you spot from the other data not asked? Looking at the individual ratings of the five (5) teachers, I have observed, except for one teacher, that their level of intelligence and level of self-confidence are somehow directly proportional. The higher they rate in intelligence, the higher their self-confidence is, and vice versa.

REFLECTIONS

1. Why are some teachers reported to have bumped a learners head on the wall or made a child swallow scratch paper or pencil filings? What attribute do you think is low for this teacher? I think the attribute low for such teachers is emotional stability. Emotional stability is an individuals' steadiness of mood, their ability to withstand minor setbacks, failures, difficulties, and other stresses without becoming upset emotionally. Emotionally stable persons tolerate minor stresses and strains of day to day living without becoming emotionally upset, anxious, nervous, tense, or angry. They are able to maintain composure under minor emotional stress. The unstable person, on the other hand, is subject to fairly wide, frequent, and often unpredictable mood shifts that may swing from pole to pole. A teacher low in emotional stability tends to be easily provoked in anger and get controlled by his/her emotions that he/she ends up hurting his/her student/s.

2. Why do you think some teachers are better loved by students than others? I think its because of how the teachers treat their students both inside and outside the classroom. Based on my experience, those affable with happy disposition teachers are better loved by students that those teachers who are very strict and seemingly unapproachable in aura. 3. If you were to choose, which personal attributes should all teachers posses? Why? For me, all of the personal attributes being rated in the questionnaire must be possessed by the teachers. The reason is that I think those 12 attributes are what defines a holistically developed and capable teachers. Such

attributes are the ones that teachers ought to posses in order to fully play their part as efficient teachers.

AFFIRMATIONS

Teaching Profession Concepts about Teachers Personal Attributes 1. A teacher must be emotionally mature. 2. Teaching is not merely about intelligence, its also all about good personality.

APPLICATION

Using what I have learned in this episode, when I become a teacher, I should
be one who is not just intelligent enough to share, but someone with such a very good personality to inspire. Teaching is more than just sharing, its all about inspiring. Inspiration drives motivation. Its such a powerful tool one can use to impact lives and cause change. Inspiring people takes the spotlight as people see your good deeds. In other words, people get inspired as your actions touch their lives. As I model the right attitude and personality, my students may be inspired and they may be motivated to become not just intelligent mob but a bunch of blessings to the community.
