CHARISMATIC TEACHING

DANA DOBROVSKÁ

Abstract:

Teaching is often considered a difficult job "that seems easy" (Labaree, 2000). Theory of education, educational psychology and other sciences have explored factors such as teaching methods used by successful teachers, the effects of teachers´ backgrounds or teachers´personal characteristics and behaviours (for example enthusiasm, empathy, communication skills, etc.). There is no doubt students like to attend some teachers´ classes more than the other´s. There are some reasons make teachers attract students - the trait which appeared in pedagogical texts is called teacher charisma. To shed more light on the concept, we conducted a pilot study using the Czech translation of a Taiwanese scale measuring teacher charisma within a group of students of Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic.
