Educators have a huge impact on the learning process of students. They are with them a large portion of the year and many teachers are viewed as role models by their students. They provide guidance, support, and strength to many students. Having an educator that possess good teacher-efficacy is of importance. A teacher that has confidence in themself helps to increase their students academic performance and strengths (Oquendo, 2012).
A teacher who is motivated to teach their students and willing to go the extra distance, will get their students more motivated in their learning activities and typically these students will perform better and be higher achievers. They will be more involved in their learning environment and enjoy learning (Oquendo, 2012). Teachers are important to students from the first day of school. They influence what children do even when the teacher is not paying attention. Even in college, students look to the teachers for guidance and instruction. |
