Abstract
One of the important segments in the initial education of the teachers is creating positive attitudes of students for the
importance of teachers’ role as educator. The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes of students – future teachers
about the role of the teacher as an educator and to determine the differences in student’s attitudes regarded their sex. The
study was conducted on a sample of 94 examiners, students at Teaching Faculties in Republic of Macedonia preparing for future
teachers in natural sciences. Obtained results were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative analyses. Differences in student’s
attitudes regarded the sex were determined using Pearson chi - square test. It could be concluded that students-future teachers
in natural sciences have developed positive attitudes toward teacher’s role as educator, establishing teacher’s personal
characteristics, its authority, and reputation and building quality relations with pupils as one of the important aspect. Yet it’s
notable that for most the examiners, the teacher’s role as a transmitter of knowledge is defined as more important and priority.
These findings suggest on the need for greater emphasis on the teacher as a factor in creating a student’s personality through
educational activities and realization of teacher’s role as educator
