| contents | <p><span>This study explores the evolving image of British teachers through the analysis of literary works and contemporary perceptions among Ukrainian students. Using Frances Hodgson Burnett’s <em>A Little Princess</em> and Roald Dahl’s <em>Matilda</em> as primary texts, the research employs <span>thematic analysis</span> to examine the contrasting depictions of authoritarian and nurturing educators. These literary portrayals are complemented by a survey conducted at Ushynsky University <span>in 2023</span>, which reveals a nuanced view of British teachers. While traditional perceptions of British educators as strict and authoritarian persist, there is a significant shift toward recognizing modern, supportive, and intellectual qualities. The findings indicate that contemporary educational practices emphasizing empathy, intellectual inspiration, and supportive teaching are increasingly valued. The study underscores the critical role of teachers in shaping both the intellectual and emotional development of students. It also highlights the importance of balancing discipline with empathy and intellectual rigor with support. This comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted role of British teachers offers valuable insights for enhancing educational practices and policies, ultimately contributing to the improvement of teaching and learning quality.</span></p> |
