Could you share your discussions and professional relationship with your students?
Dear Oujlakh.
"Do you think that actual students are serious enough?" You ask. Even though I am not sure about what you mean by serious, I would say that some are are serious enough and some are not.
As for my professional relationship with my students, I try to be an authoritative, not an authoritarian or permissive figure. Authoritative professors are demanding in intellectual terms but warm in their interactions with their students. Authoritarian professors are demanding in intellectual terms but cold in their interactions with their students: Permissive professors are guided, as it were, by the slogan "laissez faire, laissez passer, laissez aller (Let it go). There is accumulated evidence that shows that, in contrast to what happens with authoritarian and permissive professors, their authoritative counterparts foster their students' psychological development, be it cognitive, social, moral, emotional, and so forth.
In my professional relationship with my students I also try to be more a mentor or organizer of learning experiences and situations than a simple transmitter of ready made and established truths imposed on sudents from outside, I do my best such that my students come to be creators and innovators, not conformist people.
In my my professional relationship with my students I also try to do my best such that they go beyond and can dispense with me.
Best regards,

Year after year we get all the poor quality of students. For that, I blame social networking technology. They do not have the patience, perseverance, motivation for work, learning ...
I have to agree social networks have made it both very hard to teach and learn yet at times so rewarding!
That's the reason why I used social network after class for vocabulary, links, biblio, videos, etc. Do you?
The number of students in Serbia is rapidly declining. Together with the team and the quality of teaching and assessment. Colleges are struggling to keep departments ... are aware of that but the student the opportunity to easily pass the exam. Bologna is further complicated this problem did!
I guess the real challenge is actually engaging students. There are lots of things happening online, so many things learners can learn online on their own and completely free. However, it is not as it might seem about money only. I guess it is about personalization and engagement. Our students are yearning for personalized learning contexts, a thing an ordinary classroom won't provide but the internet completely does. That is why I guess they resort to social networks, at times when they are even inside classrooms.
Intelligence student have more inclination for their study & career & for this they are more concentration & have their devotion in their study this does not necessary mean that they are serious in their nature .Such students remain interested in sports & whenever they feel for a change even they may also visit cinema or drama or musical party .
This is my personal observation
Dear all discussants,
To engange students with the pursue of the true, the good, and the beautifutf, which I see as the main purpose of education, is a dfficult task. There are many things out there, facebook and exchange mobile messages, for example, that divert many sudents from their true school responsibilites.
As for my professional relationship with my students I try to be demanding in intellectual terms, but kind in my interactions with them. In other words, I act as an authoritative, not as an authoritarian or permissive professor. Authoritarian professors are demanding in cognitive terms, and cold in terms of social interaction with their students. And permissive professors are guided by the French slogan" laissez faire, laissez passer, laisser aller" (Let' it go).
In my lectures, I try to be more a mentor and organizer of learning experiences and situations such that my students come to reinvent and reconstruct everything they learn and be creators and innovators than a simple transmitter of ready made and established truths, which easily leads students to be conformist people. In other words, I intend that my students stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before and go a bit further beyond them.
Best regards,
Orlando
