OSOBNOSTNÉ A MOTIVAČNÉ PREDIKTORY DIDAKTICKÝCH KOMPETENCIÍ UČITEĽOV V PREGRADUÁLNEJ PRÍPRAVE A V PRAXI

Marcela Verešová

In this paper, we focus on the analysis of the following didactic competencies of pre-service teachers and teachers in practice: planning and preparation of lesson; realization of a lesson; building a class atmosphere and climate; diagnostics and evaluation; teacher self-reflection. These didactic competencies are part of the professional competencies of teachers. In our research study, we find out what relation (correlation and prediction) the motivation to choose the teaching profession (external; internal; altruistic; alternative choice) and the personal characteristics of the Big Five (extraversion; agreeableness; conscientiousness; agreeableness; neuroticism; openness) are to the mentioned didactic competences in the sample of 600 teachers in the Slovak Republic (300 pre‑service teachers; 30 teachers in practice). We identified significant correlations between the observed variables (in the case of the Big Five personality traits to all didactic competencies and in the case of motivation primarily to the level of internal, altruistic motivation and alternative with different strengths of the relation in 2 research subgroups). We used hierarchical regression analysis to identify the predictive relation, we verified 5 regression models, for each didactic competence separately, while the dependent variable was didactic competencies, in the first step the status was added to the model (the pre-service teacher, the teacher in practice), in the second motivation and in third personality traits. We identified that internal motivation and personality traits - agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness are important predictors of didactic competence “planning and preparation of lesson”. We identified that internal motivation, altruistic motivation as well as an alternative choice, and personality traits - extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness are important predictors of didactic competence “realization of a lesson”. We identified that intrinsic motivation and personality traits - extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are important predictors of didactic competence “building a class atmosphere and climate “, while negative emotions/neuroticism is a negative predictor of this didactic competence. We identified that internal motivation and altruistic motivation, and personality traits - agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness are important predictors of didactic competence “diagnostics and evaluation”. We proved that the status (being a teacher), internal motivation and altruistic motivation, and personality traits agreeableness, and openness are important predictors of the “teacher’s self‑reflection” competence.

Keywords: didactic competencies, the teacher, planning and preparation of lessons, realization of a lesson, building a class atmosphere and climate, diagnostics and evaluation, self-reflection, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness, external motivation, internal motivation, altruistic motivation, alternative choice
