Abstract

Effective teachers can influence students’ learning and success. Research in this area is scarcely found in Indonesian contexts. The objective of the study is to explore teachers and students’ perception regarding the criteria of effective teachers using mixed method. The qualitative data gathering process involved 3 teachers and 4 students of English language department who were interviewed separately. The quantitative data gathering process involved 196 university students to confirm the interview results. The results show that teachers and students indicated slightly mismatched perceptions of what constitutes effective teachers – both from the qualitative and quantitative data. While the qualitative data showed that teachers and students placed pedagogical factors as the most important skill, the quantitative data revealed personal and interpersonal skills as the most important factors needed in effective teachers. The study can be used to encourage teachers to conduct reflective practice and for students to be aware of and evaluate their expectations of effective teachers.
