Perception of the accomplished teacher among teacher educators in “research oriented” and “teaching oriented” institutes in Israel

Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the perceived components of effective teachers among teacher educators in research and teaching-oriented institutes in Israel. The currently prevailing notion of the effective teacher, reflecting the complexity of teaching, can be traced back in the attitudes of teacher educators in both institutes; and as such it can contribute to the ongoing debate regarding what makes a good teacher and the standards that can be used for teacher evaluation. Furthermore, the study's results can indicate some advantages and drawbacks of teacher education in the different institutes – thus adding valuable findings to questions regarding the desirable location of teacher education that can also be used for the evaluation of teacher education institutes.
