ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the topic of teacher’s work from the perspective of his/her educational role, with emphasis on the aspect of monitoring and evaluation. The meaning of this role is consisted of the educational impact that the teacher as an educator has in the process of developing student’s personality, i.e. developing positive personal characteristics, value system, building the will and the character, developing positive habits and student’s overall worldview. For the aims of this paper, a qualitative study was conducted. The sample consisted of school principals and pedagogues in high schools in North Macedonia. The main aim of the study was to examine their attitudes regarding teacher’s educational role from the aspect of developing student’s personality and building student’s character, related to the issues of monitoring and evaluation of this process. Main findings show that, in general, participants have positive attitudes and evaluate teacher’s educational work as satisfactory, but still, there are some differences regarding the level of engagement and participation in activities in this domain, i.e. while some of the teachers are enthusiastic and devoted to this role, others are more passive and take action only when there is a necessity, and in that way omit and forget the importance of educational work in the overall process of education
