What do you make up. Is there any appropriate method or way that a teacher should dress?....
Oh yes! it does.It have an indirect teaching on its own.Teachers must be aware of this.
The dress of a teacher should not influence the learning of the students during the educational process.
The truth that a quirky dress would question the teacher's intellectual or teaching ability
The formal and casual dress is appropriate in most cases and in different societies and countries.
Not if the teacher is a good one. If the teacher is not very efficient, then students attention will go in all direction and then teachers clothing can be noticed and interfer with their relationship.

Dear David Adu Sarfo, teachers are rolemodels for students. And students are following their rolemodels ie. teachers. Accordingly, the style for wearing will have a direct impact and influence on students. Hence, normal wearing styles suggested to be comfort comfortable.

Much as I would like to disagree on this, I have to agree it matters. I used to teach in class without wearing shoes, but only sandals. One day a student came-up to me and said, it doesn't go with the attire. Respecting his views, I changed & started wearing shoes. I felt a greater power in delivering lectures in class with shoes on. So I learnt a practical lesson the hard way. Dressing well to a class shows your respect for the students.
No the dress of a teacher should not influence the learning of the students. The learning should be related to just the reacher ability to give the best learning ways.
To some extent but not necessarily. Formal and decent dressing commands respect and students are naturally disposed to pay more than the usual attention in the class, maximizing learning outcomes.
Yet, if a well dressed teacher is known by students continuously as not well poised in the subject they teach, their physical outlook may not matter any more.
Therefore, to positively influence the processes of learning in students, a teacher has to be morally chaste in character and formal (decent) dressing while being eloquent in the subjects or courses s/he teaches.
Yes. sometimes it inspires, other times it is discouraging and still other times distracting
It contributes a great deal to the effective classroom teaching and learning. It may cause a serious distraction when the dressing of a teacher is provocative and enticing to the entire class members or when a teacher dresses shabbily, it could cause the students to get easily distracted and disrupted the learning process. Teacher are strictly advised to dress properly and formally to class at any level of academic institutions.
Thank you
Dress has no direct relation with class room learning. But it has some impacts on students mind. Dress talk about the personality of a teacher. It should be simple and according to the culture. A well dressed teacher has got impact on students mentality and a student may copy a teacher with the idea to have a pleasant look and personality.
It depends upon the culture of the country and age group of students..
I do not think !! as a student it did not bother me , as a teacher none of my students told me anything . Yeah I do not have a keen dressing sense (I do not care)
First appearance of every human being starting with his entry where the dress plays also an important part . In classroom teacher dress certainly play an important part as student which uniform when they find their teacher in a good dress certainly have a inner smiling on their face .
At the same time the dress should not be so much fashionable so that it may become an object of ridicule .
This is my personal opinion
Hello,
We have often been told that we should not judge a book by its cover, but a teacher's appearance can have a great bearing on the learners' mindset. I believe teachers' manner of dressing is a complementary issue doubling their positive qualities . In point of fact, no matter what a teacher's level of knowledge may be, his / her attire can undermine his/ her position in the eyes of the learners. Naturally, this is quite culture bound and in western societies, especially in an informal classroom atmosphere , teacher and students both wear casual dresses.
Best regards,

To some extent it does. As a teacher you can't dress anyhow to class. Your dressing says a lot about your personality. You must look decent and smart.
I don't understand. The teacher are known to be moderate in outlook. there is nothing wrong with any dress unless it is not looking neat or is tore. A teacher is respected and loved by students for what he has inside , not the outside. The outside( Dress) is just a mere distraction.
This is an interesting question. In addition to the helpful observations already made by others following this thread, there is a bit more to add.
There is an old saying [from Tolstoy] that applies here:
We first judged by our appearance and only later by our wit.

Students are more likely to listen to a lecturer, provided the lecturer has an acceptable appearance.
In theory the attire or dressing of a teacher should not influence the classroom learning. There are, however, certain limits (on both ends of the scale of dress code) which should be observed in order to prevent the extreme appearances taking precedence over the academic activities. The best dress code is a modest and comfortable attire projecting authority and wise choice of resources.
In the recent years we observe a trend of imposing the dress code in the formal manner:
Birmingham Metropolitan College's new dress code for staff requires tidy hair, business suits and skirts, no visible tattoos, no slogans on T-shirts or "ostentatious ear-rings".
Lecturers are being told to wear a "business suit; smart jacket and co-ordinating trousers or skirt; smart shirt/blouse/top and trousers or skirt; smart dress".
The situation is even more complicated in the case of female academic teachers as discussed in the following blog:
https://tenureshewrote.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/dressing-for-academia/
I say yes if the teacher is not attired in a professional manner, students may become too relaxed in thinking that the teacher is really "down-to-earth" . As a result, students may see the classroom as a "cool" place where they do not have meet high expectations of performance but do what they actually feel to do.
Many thanks,
Debra
Hello,
in fact it should not affect but it does!
even though this might change from a community into another,it also changes with the level of teaching ( kindergarten , primary ....postgraduate studies.
the lower the grade the more effective it would be
Hello,
I would say, it depends on the culture and community. In the western culture, it is hardly seen as a case- However, in the eastern- if one sees that the teacher has not well dressed, it may create negative tendency on student's mind. Ultimately, it may affect the processing information psychologically.
I think I want to agree with the fact that it can aid concentration and possibly learning, if the teacher is not well dressed it can be distracting but the most important thing is a well dressed teacher should be knowledgeable about their subject. NO need of dressing well and can't deliver.
Some students take their teachers as role models and lookup to them for everything. They copy blindly by portraying them Teachers must be careful in class and outside classroom, because students are always watching and learning from them either directly or indirectly.
It depends. When teaching in Africa, the expectation was to dress well and expensively, especially if teaching business courses. In the UK, teachers dress casually and wearing suit and tie would not command respect, but suspicion.
