This study aims to identify and analyse the key characteristics of a good teacher as valued by senior students at Colegio Universitario Antonio Rendic (CUAR). Using a quantitative descriptive research design, data were collected through a semi-structured survey administered to 32 students in their final year. The research focuses on the traits students most appreciate in teachers, how these traits vary when considered from the perspectives of peers and the school, and the attributes that students reject the most. Results indicate that patience, respect, empathy, and kindness are the most frequently valued qualities, while disrespect, impatience, and lack of interest are the most rejected. Statistical analysis showed all attributes scored highly, with significant differences among certain traits. These findings provide insight into student perceptions of effective teaching, which can inform teacher training and professional development initiatives.
