INTRODUCTION

For many centuries now, people can be teachers but the question is, if many people can be an effective teacher. Teachers are the single most important resource to child’s learning (The White House, 2010). Effective teaching is concerned with the student as a person and with his general development. Good teaching is a very personal manner. The idea of effective teacher for each individual is variable.

Also, student’s participation in the instructional process is critical and their perception, opinion or experiences about the teacher are different. The knowledge of the way the student think and perceived can aid the teacher to reflect upon and adjust his teaching strategies to enhance student’s understanding and achievement.

The students’ perception of the teachers’ characteristics could influence their attitude toward school subjects. Students more often than not judge their teachers in such areas as the teachers’ knowledge of the subject matter, communication ability, the choice of appropriate teaching method and the general classroom management skills.

This study is investigated and analysed the education students’ perceptions on the professional qualities of their professors in the City University of Pasay within the year of 2015-2016.

The motivation for the study lies in the fact that as long as the University continue to be regarded as the major preparatory grounds for the citizens, so will professors be necessary for this transmission of knowledge, ideas and culture.

The professors of the University must not only touch the intellects but also the hearts and souls of their students. This study will therefore assist in indicating the elements in teaching professional qualities of the professors in the University. It is hoped that the result of the study will contribute to all College Education Students in City University of Pasay.
