Abstract
This cross-sectional study described
student-teacher differences in perceiving the characteristics of
effective clinical teachers in the Gaza Strip. A convenience
sample of 112 participants (84% of the accessible population)
participated in the study. Using the Nursing Clinical Teacher
Effectiveness Inventory (NCTEI), subjects rated 47
characteristics under five categories: teaching ability, nursing
competence, evaluation, interpersonal relationships, and
personality traits.
All subjects gave high ratings for all
characteristics. Teachers gave higher ratings than students.
Results indicated significant differences between teachers and
students in perceiving the most important characteristics. Female
and junior students gave higher ratings than males and seniors
respectively.
There were significant differences
between teachers and students in perceiving importance of various
characteristics, however, they agreed on rating evaluation and
personal relationships. Male and female students differed in
perceiving the importance of these characteristics, which may be
related to culture. It is recommended that the evaluation process
should be revised. More investigation in student-teacher relation
is needed.
