Great Teacher, Educator, Human ElementAbstract
Without a human element, teaching can never provide students with what they want. In this qualitative study, educator perspectives on what is good for great teachers were explored through a 3-statement google form. To better understand what “a great teacher” means, one hundred educators from four countries (Nigeria, Georgia, Cambodia, and Iraq) were asked to fill out an online questionnaire. This research shows that, despite some commonalities, there are various definitions of a great teacher across countries. These different perspectives positively or negatively affect teacher-student relations and education quality in institutions from country to country.
