1. Who am I as a person? Do I have personal qualities that would make me a better teacher
someday?
2. With the use of the checklist find out your personal characteristics which would help you make
become a good teacher. The qualities listed are few of the many attributes needed but the list
given you would suffice.
Look into yourself very well and answer each item very honestly. All your answers are correct, so
you do need to worry.

My Observation
Your concrete experience, enabled you to describe, what you are as a person. The qualities reflect
who you are. Make a similar observation of ten active teachers in a school. Your observation will be done
through a survey and will produce empirical evidences. This observation method will enhance your skills
to collect data, like when you doing research.
You will be provided with a Survey Checklist for you to reproduce 10 copies for your 10
respondent teachers. (They are on the last page of this workbook). Make proper request from this teacher
who will become your respondents.
Tabulate the results in the matrix found below:

The Observed information
Procedure:
1. To get the average, add the scores of the ten teachers and divide by 10.
2. Look at the legend in your own checklist, and determine the discipline the description of the
average.
3. Study the result.
Questions:
1. Which of the twelve attributes is the highest among the teachers?
Desc
7. What interesting observations can you spot from the other data not asked?
Use the information from your personal results and those of the ten teachers in making your
reflections that follow.
My Reflections
After studying the results of your teacher survey, write down your reflections on the following
situations reported to have happened in the school setting.
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 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 possess? Why?
that I think those 12 attributes are the ones that teachers ought
to posses in order to fully play their part as efficient teacher.
My Affirmed Concepts
After reflecting on this episode and recalling my previous subjects, I have realized that there are
several concepts in the teaching profession about personal attributes. I learned that has been affirmed and
confirmed. Examples of which are given below:
