ELEMENTS OF THE PERSONALITY PROFILE OF PRIMARY AND PRE–SCHOOL EDUCATION STUDENTS

Carmen Popa

Abstract :

 The aim of this research was to investigate personality traits that point out some aspects of the psychological profile of the students in Pedagogy of Primary and Pre–school Education study program from the University of Oradea (N=93). The research tool was Students’ practical training effectiveness questionnaire, from which we used items 14 and 15. Data analysis shows the highest averages for the following statements: I consider myself a valuable person (a=4,31, s.d.=.94), I don’t consider myself a looser (a=4,16, s.d.=.98), while the lowest is for I always try to achieve academic performance, but there are always impediments (a=2,27, s.d.=1.001). On the other hand, students consider themselves as hard–working (a=5,03, s.d.=1,22), good–humored (a=4,85, s.d.=1,12) and creative (a=4,77, s.d.=1,12), but only a few as talkative (a=4,03, s.d.=1,42) and relaxed (a=3,71, s.d.=1.44). Data analysis was also conducted according to year–of–study criterion, but there were no statistically significant differences. The overall conclusion is that students self characterize by some positive traits that do not change during their initial study training.
