Sažetak
With the help of longitudinal research, the paper analyzes the relationship between the human characteristics of educators and successful education for interculturalism. Reference sources have been analyzed in continuity for almost two centuries, between 1849 and 2020. For this research, relevant pedagogy textbooks were used, which were published in the mentioned period of time, and they related to the education of teachers and professors. In total, fourteen pedagogy textbooks were analyzed: six for the period of civil society until the Second World War, five for the period of socialism, and three for the period of modern civil society. Descriptive and non-experimental ex post facto methods were used in the analysis of the mentioned pedagogical documentation. All authors of the analyzed pedagogy textbooks agree that the competencies of educators (especially teachers) are complex, multi-layered and consist of: solid general education, excellent knowledge of the profession, pedagogical-psychological skills and desirable human characteristics. The line between the educational success and educational failure, among other things, is often determined by the human characteristics of the educators. Almost all analyzed textbooks of pedagogy contain special chapters dedicated to the personality of the teacher, which we can find under different titles: About the Teacher of Young Children, Teacher's Duties, The Role and Importance of Teachers, The Character of our new Educator, About the National Educator, The Teacher, Teacher's Character Traits, The Character of the Teacher, Teacher the Fundamental Bearer of Education, Educational Authority and Role Model. Also, almost all authors agree that successful and unsuccessful educators are distinguished by their personality and attitude towards students. In empirical research, the authors of the analyzed pedagogy textbooks identified about thirty character traits and moral values of successful educators that can be classified according to the following attitudes: positive attitude towards oneself, positive attitude towards spiritual and material values and positive attitude towards others, within which can be recognized the category of education for interculturalism. Based on character traits and systems of moral values, educators form a healthy authority and become role models for their students. The educator's example has a strong educational effect on students also in the field of education for interculturalism. In order to have as many educators with desirable human traits as possible, this is a topic that should be seriously taken into account when deciding about the enrollment in educational professions, and that is something that the majority of authors of the analyzed pedagogy textbooks agree.
