Journal Title: International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In this study, scaling the characteristics that should be found in an ideal teacher according to the pre-service teachers by using the pairwise comparison method was aimed. Thirteen characteristics that an ideal teacher should have were given to 211 pre-service teachers in the working group, and these 13 properties were first asked to be considered as a whole, and then each property was asked to be compared to another property, one by one, to prefer one property to another. The research data were obtained from 211 pre-service teachers in fall semester of the 2015-2016 academic year. The data were scaled according to the pairwise comparison method. According to the findings obtained, when the characteristics were aligned from the most important characteristic that an ideal teacher should have according to the pre-service teachers to the most unimportant one, it was determined that; he/she should have an intellectual personality (U10) should have a sense of humor (U7), should be open to being criticized (U2), should be motivating (U1), should have a smiling expression (U5), should have a good usage of diction (U8), should be trustworthy (U3), should be creative (U6), should be a researcher (U9), should use teaching techniques well (U10), should give importance to the students (U4), should have good communication skills (U9), should keep the distance with the students (U12).
