Dergisi %X This article explores the notion of ¡°bad¡± teachers from a psychological viewpoint, including the possible unconscious origins of such images, and raises some questions for teaching and supervisory practice. One day, on a whim, I asked the 24 experienced teachers who enrolled in the course to list on index cards up to three characteristics of what they considered to be a ¡°bad¡± teacher. No one appeared to have any difficulty with the assignment, as they all completed it quickly. I collected and compiled the responses, and recorded the frequencies. The next day I shared the cumulative list with the teachers as a group, presented a ten-minute overview of Jung¡¯s concept of the shadow, and then asked for the students¡¯ reactions. Five categories summarized all 72 characteristics of ¡°bad¡± teachers. These categories include: having ¡°low motivation¡± (29%), being ¡°uncaring or disrespectful toward students¡± (24%), evidencing a ¡°knowledge or skill deficit¡± (22%), being ¡°inflexible¡± (14%), and possessing a ¡°difficult personality¡± (11%). %K The ¡°Bad¡± Teacher %K Supervision %K USA %K K t¨¹ retmen %K Denetim %K ABD %U http://ebad-jesr.com/images/MAKALE_ARSIV/C1_S2makaleler/1%20(2)%20-%201.pdf
