57. The ability to establish personal contact with each of the students is most characteristic of:

  • A) the teacher-communicator
  • B) the teacher-organizer
  • C) the subject-teacher
  • D) the teacher-intellectual

The personality structure of the "Organizer" type is made up of qualities such as exactingness, organization, strong will, and energy.
The "Subject teacher" is characterized by observancy, professional competence, and a striving for creativity. Given the existing connections, there is a high likelihood of an intermediate "subject teacher-organizer" type existing as well, combining the characteristics of both of these types. It is possible that its distinction from the "subject teacher" would be a stricter focusing of students on the subject and the organization of their activity specifically within the bounds of subject knowledge. This makes it possible to differentiate it from the "pure Organizer," whose main line of activity lies in the sphere of extracurricular work.
The personality structure of the "Communicator" type is made up of qualities such as sociability, kindness, external attractiveness, and high moral standards. Emotionality and behavioral flexibility, which are closely linked to these qualities, may also be included here.
The "Intellectual" type is characterized by high intelligence, general culture, and unconditional morality. This last quality, in essence, serves as the connecting link between these types. This confirms that an intermediate type is found, conventionally the "intellectual-optimist," possessing pronounced qualities of both types. There probably exist intermediate types formed along different lines of teacher typology, based on subject knowledge, for example, "subject teacher-communicator," "subject teacher-enlightener." At the same time, the probability of an "intellectual-organizer" appearing is very low, although in theory a combination of these types is possible as well.
Of the indicated types of teachers (communicator, subject teacher, organizer, and intellectual), each has its own methods, mechanisms, and channels for conveying educational influences.
Thus, the "communicator" teacher is distinguished by extraversion, low conflict-proneness, benevolence, a capacity for empathy, and a love of children. They realize their educational influences on the basis of compatibility with the student, seeking points of contact in personal life. Naturally, these influences will produce the greatest change precisely in this "everyday" behavior of the student.
For the "subject teacher", a rationalist firmly convinced of the necessity of knowledge and its significance in life, it is more characteristic to educate the student by means of the subject being studied, by changing their perception of the scientific picture of the world, drawing them into work in a club, and so on.
The "organizer" teacher, often a leader not only among the students but also within the whole teaching staff, mainly conveys their personal characteristics in the course of conducting various extracurricular activities. Therefore the result of their influence is most likely to be found in the sphere of business cooperation, collective engagement, discipline, and so on.
The "intellectual" teacher, or "enlightener," distinguished by principledness and adherence to moral norms, realizes themselves through highly intellectual enlightening activity, bringing students morality, spirituality, and a sense of freedom.
