Nauczyciel wobec otwartości uczniów w przestrzeni edukacyjnej

Abstract

The school is an important space, acting on acquiring experience for students and it is shaped by professional teachers. They attempt to create a friendly place, where a significant role is played by interpersonal relationships. In normal contacts between the teacher and the students, the aspect of openness is very important. It is based on the natural exchange of information between the interlocutors in everyday relations. It allows them to discover new areas of communication. The features of openness are bilateral and reciprocity. Recognizing the importance of openness in the shaping of the educational space, research has been made on the perception of future teachers in terms of the issue of openness in relation to the student. The study was attended by students of UMCS in Lublin from two faculties: English and mathematics. The results of the research presented in the article show that future teachers largely understand the importance of openness. They notice its value in relationships with other teachers, students and the class community. They have problems in refraining from judging and giving advice when transferring information. The most difficult part for them is focusing on content related to specific behaviors. The positive aspect is that the students pay attention to the role of non-verbal communication. Future mathematicians more frequently emphasized that the proper conduct of the teacher can help to shape the openness of the students, because otherwise they may have difficulty in fostering contacts. Students are aware that the extension of their own openness is positive in terms of their development and enriches relationships with students.
