| Abstract [eng] |
Mass media is the most infl uential and disseminates cultural symbols and creates phenomenon of today’s popular culture. Image of various professions as well as motivation to represent them and choose them as a way of life are changing in this culture. Traditionally, profession of a pedagogue is linked to dedication and proper behaviour. This also gives rise to positive reputation aspects that have been particularly clearly dominant in previous centuries. After the changes in culture had occurred, the evaluations of image of profession of a pedagogue possibly changed in the aspect of component of reputation, too. The aim of the article is to complete a research on students’ (girls’) opinion about reputation of pedagogues. The subject of this research is evaluation of reputation of pedagogues. The research on reputation of pedagogues in various aspects has revealed that girls positively evaluate most of them, i.e., they agree with the propositions. Reputation is expressed best in educational excellence of pedagogues in preparing students for olympiads, competitions and contests, in differentiating the exercises to adapt them for students with different faculties. Ability of pedagogues to create various tasks and to prepare students for exams is evaluated very well. Perfect knowledge of the subject, openness to students’ wishes and needs while giving them basic education are emphasized as well. Negative aspects of reputation are given average evaluation, but teachers’ inability to communicate with their students has been emphasized. Hard pedagogical work due to jeering from students has also been observed. Girls, who positively evaluate image of pedagogues, evaluate reputation of pedagogues better as well: in all factors there could be seen indicators of more positive attitude to the research subject. Girls, who have a neutral image of pedagogues in their minds, evaluate nearly all aspects of reputation more negatively. |
