Practically, every student has at least one or more teachers that stand out in his memory
who influenced his life. Teachers have inspired, challenged or by other means caused individual
students to aspire to climb to higher intellectual, spiritual, social and cultural heights. The ability
to promote wholesome teacher-student relations require that the teacher has certain qualities and
that he be given training that will enable him to make more productive use of his capacities in
helping students.
The instructor’s task requires that he possesses a wide variety positive professional
qualities. The task of the teacher complex in demands a variety of human traits, abilities and
competencies. Good instructors can be derived not only from books but also from day to day
relationship between mentors and students. Students come to school in the formative stage of
development. Their zest for life begins when they enter the classroom or the school. The teacher
also described by the professional standards for them. In the Philippines, the National
Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) is usually referred to if the characteristics of an
effective and efficient teacher are of interest.
In the light of the foregoing, this study is investigated and analyzed the education
students’ perceptions on the professional qualities of their professors in the City University of
Pasay within the year of 2015-2016. The motivation for the study lies in the fact that as long as
the University continue to be regarded as the major preparatory grounds for the citizens, so will
professors be necessary for this transmission of knowledge, ideas and culture. For this to be well
done, the professors of the University must not only touch the intellects but also the hearts and
souls of their students. This is why taking stock of the critical elements of teaching as well as the
fundamental characteristics and traits of the education students considered of truly effective
teachers are important. This study will therefore assist in indicating the elements in teaching
3. 3
professional qualities of the professors in the University. It is hoped that the result of the study
will contribute to all College Education Students in City University of Pasay.

The importance of teachers’ relationships with their students cannot be overstated
according to Downey (2008). This will contribute to the field of education by providing
teachers and administrators with guidance on relationship-building strategies that a highly
effective teacher utilizes in a real world, authentic setting which is the classroom.
Little, (2012) posit that “teachers need to be actively engaged in interactions with
students in order for learning to occur. Baird, Leslie and McCabe (2009) agreed that while
outside factors influence decisions, perceptions act as the underlying cause for decisions and
behaviours.
Local Literature
Duly licensed professionals, who possess dignity and reputation with high moral values
as well technical and professional competence. In the practice of their noble profession, they
strictly adhere to observe and practice their set of ethical and moral principles, standards and
values (preamble, code of ethics for professional teachers, DEpEd, 2014).
Factor analysis revealed five dimension of the students’ perception that relate to the
different aspects of the teacher’s pedagogy and the learning environment created by the
teachers: (a) learner-centered pedagogy, (b) science inquiry activities (c)positive affect and
attitudes (d) grades as feedback and (e) support for self-learning and effort. Asia Pacific
Education Review (2008).
Foreign Studies
Student-based learning is gradually is replacing the predominant lecture method
(Sauliner, Landry, & Wagner, 2008) and provides opportunities for students to improve their
skills of critical thinking and reasoning. It also enables teachers and students to share personal
feelings when they communicate.
8. 8
Colker (2008) reported that teachers claimed there were four characteristics of an
effective teacher which include having a sound knowledge of subject matter take personal
interest in each student, establish a caring or loving or warm atmosphere and lastly to show
enthusiasm with students. He also reported twelve characteristics of teachers that children
(students) believe are integral factors to effective teaching. These include passion,
perseverance, willingness to take risks, pragmatism, patience, flexibility, respect, creativity,
authenticity, love of learning, high energy and sense of humor.
Mohidin et al. (2009) in a study on effective teaching methods and lecturers
characteristics on accounting students at the School of Business and Economics at the
University Malaysia Sabah (UMS), also reported knowledge of the lecturer, attitude and
personality as preferred characteristics by the students teaching/learning effectiveness. The
summary from the foregoing is that the amount of agreement across studies suggests that the
characteristics of good teaching are not mysterious or extremely discipline-specific. They can
and have been identified by researchers, students and professionals alike.
In a recent study by Stronge, Ward, Tucker, and Hindman (2008) the researchers studied
the instructional behaviours and practices of teachers and sought to determine the best practices
that would foster increases in student learning. Their research centered on identifying
characteristics of successful teacher traits over 4 levels of effectiveness (high to low) within 4
domains; instruction, student assessment, classroom management and professional qualities.
After a completing an ecological study on teacher-child relationship and behaviour
problem, 0’Connor, Dearing and Collins (2011) write that in regard to teacher education, their
study demonstrates the importance of fostering school teachers’ awareness of the role of the
relationship with students, and provides teachers with information as to how to support high
quality relationships with students.
Other studies on the image of teacher are capsulized in a book that essentially
emphasized the importance of positive perception of students toward their teachers which is
generated from a cordial and friendly relationship between the students and their teachers
(Middleton &Petitt, 2010). The students mentioned that their best teacher knows them
personally including their interests and strengths, smile at them, encourage them to participate
9. 9
in school activities, provide descriptive feedback on assignments, connect classroom learning
to real life, apologize when they make mistakes, give meaningful activities, and show
enthusiasm in what they do.Grieves (2010) study finds that pedagogical cognitive and affective
qualities interrelate. When instructors apply on professional teaching qualities, they affect how
students personally feel about them and what they teach.
Local Studies
Several studies done here and abroad have determined the professional skills of teachers.
One study made a ranking of professional skills according to importance as perceived by
instructor and the public. In order of importance, these skills are ranked as follows: 1.) Fluency
and proficiency in the language of instruction; 2.) Use of apt teaching methods;3.)Maintenance
of order and discipline;4.)Evaluation of the achievement of students;5.)Resourceful in looking
for teaching aids; 6.)Counselling; 7.) Adapting curriculum materials to local needs;
8.) Mastery of subject taught;9.)Asking right questions;10.) Conducting research;
11.) Identification of student’s needs and difficulties;12.)Knowledge of the psychology of
learning;13.)Sociability.
` Bagalso (2008) in his study of the likes and dislikes of students in their instructors or
teachers revealed the traits of an instructor which the students liked most were: strict but kind,
patient and understanding, well acquainted with the subject matter taught. The situations they
disliked most in the teacher were: practices partiality or favouritism, utter bad words, does not
explain the lesson well, harsh, and overly strict.
Laru-An (2014) in his study of the qualities of instructors preferred by students, it
revealed the teachers who are kind, sympathetic, “she preferred like us” were preferred very
much. They further stated that students preferred instructors who are fair, impartial, firm, and do
not have pets. Likewise, students preferred instructors who are making things interesting, know
a lot, explain well, help individuals with their lessons, and permit students to express opinions.
Carrigan (2009) supports that a good instructor has competences in a subject matter, mastery of
10. 10
the techniques on instruction and evaluation, desire to teach, resourceful and creative, attentive
to trainee needs, has management techniques and have a positive professional attitudes.
Domain 1 of NCBTS states that teachers serve as positive and powerful role models of
the values of the pursuit of learning (TEC, DepEd& CHED, 2009). Being a role model implies
setting good examples to others. Hence, the value to learning of the students may also reflect
that of their teachers as facilitators of their intellectual development.
