Περιγραφή
The aim of the present study was to evaluate six characteristics of effective special pre-school teachers, similar to those used in the relevant literature. The study participants were all special teachers (n = 226), serving in Greek state and community pre-primary educational institutions (i.e. kindergartens and day nurseries) for children with learning disabilities. Data were collected through a two-part questionnaire sent to the targeted special teachers (response rate100%) and through focused group discussion with teachers. Three characteristics emerged as salient features of an effective teacher: love for the children; competent pre-service training and ongoing professional development; and professionalism and commitment. The remaining three characteristics assessed (i.e. effective communication skills, a well-rounded personality, and instructional ability) were also judged to be essential. Based on each characteristic s analysis, the paper discusses the implications of pre-service and in-service training for special teachers.
