How do College Students in the Early Childhood Department Perceive the Impact of their Kindergarten Teacher on their Personality Development?

Abstract

Effective class management for kindergarten pupils must be provided so they learn optimistic behaviours that positively impact their personalities. The management style of the kindergarten class managers has a crucial impact on the Israeli students in their personality development.  The study aims to understand the importance of pupils' personality development at the kindergarten stage. Conducting a research study on the impact of the management style of the kindergarten class manager on the Israeli pupils' personalities is important because it can provide valuable insights into how different management styles affect the development and well-being of young children (Shaked, 2021). A mixed-method research design was chosen to conduct the study. 400 college students in the Early childhood department were addressed to participate in the study. The main results were, there are significant positive correlations between class management style and personality traits of children. there are also positive correlations between the attitude of teachers and the personality traits of children. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between the behaviour of the teacher and the attitude of the teacher. The main conclusion is that there is a complex relationship between class management style, behaviour of the teacher, attitude of the teacher, and personality traits of children and that improving class management style and teacher attitude may have a positive impact on children's personality traits.
