THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-ATTITUDE AND ATTITUDE TO A “SIGNIFICANT PERSON”, A PARTICIPANT IN THE STUDY PROCESS AMONG SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE CONTEXT OF CHRISTIAN ANTHROPOLOGY
In the present-day education system, approximately the same processes and mechanisms operate as in the world civilisation as a whole. The teacher’s love and positive attitude towards the participants of the study process is both a value and an achievement. It is a value because such attitude to people within the con nes of the school environment not only enhances the study process, but also makes it possible to achieve its main objectives. It is an achievement because such attitude towards the participants of the study process is possible if a number of conditions are met. One of these conditions is a certain attitude of the teacher to himself. The article analyses the concepts of attitude and self-attitude, discusses the concept of the “signi cant other” and proximate concepts, i.e., “signi cant person”, “neighbour”. It describes the author’s position as to the studied concepts. This position follows the main provisions of Christian anthropology in the area of the attitude to man (neighbour). The article formulates the hypothesis of the study as follows: there is a positive link between certain components of the schoolteacher’s self-attitude and the attitude to the signi cant person, i.e., a participant of the study process. Therefore, the empirical section of the article studies the link between various components of self-attitude and the sensory tone of the attitude towards the signi cant person who is a participant in the study process. The emphasis on the sensory tone of the teacher’s attitude is due to the desire to study the attitude to the signi cant person who is a participant in the study process in a more non-evaluative aspect. The empirical study has established a number of regularities related to the phenomena in question; an interpretation of the obtained results has also been given.
