| Summary |
Junior high school students are at a sensitive age, and it is difficult to teach them. They rebel, ignore others, and fail to listen. How can teachers guide these students? Considering the trend of adopting individual instead of group instruction, this survey attempted to understand teachers through students’ eyes. Analysis of the survey results aimed to identify the characteristics of homeroom teachers that meet students' expectations as well as those of the ideal teachers for junior high school students. Therefore, the survey items related to students’ evaluation of their homeroom teachers. It was difficult to find teachers who would cooperate with the survey; many refused, but ultimately, a total of 31 teachers participated. |
