The teacher qualities of the faculty of the college of business, entrepreneurship and accountancy: A student-based evaluation

The teacher plays a vital role in the educational foundation of the learners. Often times, the ultimate measure noted in a teacher are his or her academic stance and qualifications. The qualification standards based on what is initially perceived in the credentials or even the teaching experience have become the bases of a good teacher. With this, so little attention is given to scrutinizing the “traits” of a teacher because most often than not, the ultimate basis is the scholastic record. While good academic standing is revelled upon, the other factor that makes up the psyche and function of a teacher are his or her “traits.” This research undertaking is designed to determine the evaluation of students of the teacher qualities of the faculty members of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy. This study attempted to ascertain teacher qualities of tenured faculty members of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy as evaluated by the students using the descriptive correlational method of research. Respondents of the study were the senior students of College. The descriptive statistics used to summarize the profile of the respondents were percentages, frequency counts and mean and in the analysis and interpretation of the evaluation of the student-respondents as regards the teacher qualities of the faculty members, the weighted mean, the chi-square and Pearson r were used. A questionnaire was utilized to gather information from the respondents which consisted of two parts: Part 1 consisted of the profile of the respondents and Part II of the questionnaire proper consisted of the respondents’ evaluation on the teacher qualities. This modified data gathering tool was patterned from the Teachers Behavioral Inventory tool used by the University of Cagayan Valley. The profile of the respondents was analysed using the simple frequency count and percentage. In the analysis and interpretation of the evaluation of the respondents to the teacher qualities of tenured faculty the weighted mean was used. Personality traits reflect people's characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Personality traits imply consistency and stability—someone who scores high on a specific trait like Extraversion is expected to be sociable in different situations and over time. This was the concept of Diener, E. & Lucas, R. E. (2019). With the conduct of this study, results have led to the conclusion that the profiles of the respondents along sex and age have no direct bearing on the evaluation of the respondents on the teacher qualities of the tenured faculty members. In the view of the finding of this study, the researcher offers a strong recommendation that the faculty members should maintain a very good rapport with the students and establish a stronger personality identity where decency, professionalism and respect are upheld.
