THE DYNAMICS OF PERCEPTIONS AND EVALUATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE IMAGE OF AN IDEAL TEACHER DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

A renewed reforming of the higher education system is taking place in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the perception of the essence and content of the pedagogical profession is changing in the changing conditions of today, as well as new requirements are being put forward to the personality of the teacher. The purpose of the article was to study the dynamics of perceptions and evaluation of the components of the image of an ideal teacher by students in the process of traditional (full-time) and remote (online) learning in a higher education institution. Diagnostic methods were used in the research: free description method on the topic "Portrait of a teacher whom I respect", content analysis, "Educational-cognitive interaction between a student and a teacher of the university" method (author I.I. Snyadanko), methods of statistical data processing. The authors conducted two experimental sections: the first section was conducted during traditional full-time learning before the Covid-19 pandemic, the second section was conducted during the remote learning period during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result of the research, it was determined that, in general, first-year students prefer strict and demanding teachers, but at the same time value such teacher qualities as kindness and sacrifice. The personal characteristics of the teacher and the ability to perceive the student as a person are more important for second-year students. A comparison of the data of the two sections made it possible to conclude that the ideal teacher should meet much greater characteristics in the process of remote learning than in the process of traditional learning. The results of the article can be used to optimize the educational and cognitive interaction between students and teachers of the university, to improve the professional training of pedagogical personnel.
