The Impact of Teacher Personality Traits on Student Learning: Unveiling an Essential Dimension in Educational Psychology.

Abstract

Within the field of educational psychology, the impact of teacher’s personality traits on student learning outcomes has become more widely acknowledged, posing a challenge to the conventional emphasis on curriculum design and pedagogical strategies alone. The present research integrates extant literature and empirical data to investigate the complex correlation between teacher’s personality traits & student learning, with a focus on the consequences for instructional design and policy development. Teacher’s personality traits have a big impact on student learning and classroom environment. The results highlight how crucial it is to take teacher personality into account when hiring, selecting, and developing new teachers. They also provide guidance for developing encouraging classroom environments that help students achieve their goals. In addition, the incorporation of teacher personality traits into the theoretical framework of educational psychology enhances our comprehension of the reciprocal nature of the teacher-student interaction and effective teaching practices.
