HOW AUTHORITY AND TRUST INFLUENCE THOSE, WHO ARE UNDER LECTURER’S SURVEILLANCE, THE WAYS TO SHAPE UP THE AUTHORITY

Abstract

The article considers the study of the peculiarities of the formation of the lecturer’s authority and its impact on the results of the student’s learning process. The main factors of teacher authority formation are analyzed: competence, communication skills, charisma, and trust. The four above mentioned elements may be split into two categories: qualities (competence, communicative skills, charisma); and trust (which can be referred as a quality of the environment of the educational process), though as the atmosphere is the outcome of lecturer’s way of work, thus, at least indirectly, we can refer it as to a quality of lecturer, the ability carry out the process, so that all actors are in total compliance with the lecturer’s style of teaching. Recommendations are offered to establish a trusting relationship between the teacher and his wards, as an integral part of the learning process in order to achieve more effective communication and, as a result, improve learning outcomes.
