THE STUDENTS' PERCEPTION OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION AND ITS ROLE IN THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Abstract

The didactic activity centered on the formation of the future-teachers students concerns at least two correlated dimensions: a) a theoretical one; b) a pragmatic-instrumental one. The student's behavior is largely influenced by the image he/ she has about the teaching mission and the roles that a teacher must play. This is the premise we start from, within the present study and it represents the fundamental theoretical-methodological landmark of our experimental intervention. The collected and analyzed data all led to the following finding: the students' perception of the teaching profession significantly influences the attitude and the results/ grades obtained in the psycho-pedagogical disciplines.
