Características de um bom professor do curso de Ciências Contábeis da UFPB.

Abstract

Good teaching practices are essential to promote an attractive and stimulating learning environment for students. This practice should involve a series of strategies and skills that aim to facilitate the teaching of students. For this, teachers must obtain constant improvement, since it is necessary to seek new teaching methods, always aiming to improve their skills and knowledge. In this sense, some characteristics stand out as essential for a quality teaching practice. Considering this context, this research aimed to highlight the positive learning practices used in the accounting sciences course at the Federal University of Paraíba campus João Pessoa. Through several studies related to this subject, 5 groups of characteristics considered as most relevant were predefined – (1) knowledge of the subject (2) lesson planning (3) teaching didactics (4) personal attributes and (5) others. Data collection took place through evaluations of professors, made by students, at each new beginning of a school term. The results indicate that the students highlight personal attributes and teaching didactics as the main positive characteristics, respectively. Knowledge of the subject and lesson planning were less cited, but considered important for students. These results indicate convergence between the practices highlighted in the literature and those highlighted by students in the assessments.
