Abstract

In this research we will highlight the social skills of preschool teachers and their influence in the educational environment. A successful teacher will always have a profile of skills, characteristics and competencies that will help him focus his energy and available resources to achieve everything he aims at educationally. From this set of qualities, social skills play an important role in ensuring a harmonious atmosphere at the classroom level, positive relationships with preschoolers, parents and teachers, a socially favorable image and how educational information is transmitted and assimilated by children. An effective teacher knows how to adapt to his social roles, to understand the tasks and emotional states of others, in the sense that he is able to take into account the opinions of others in an assertive way, without negatively affecting the feelings of others. In this article we aimed to highlight the skills profile of a quality teacher, so that in the end we can focus on communication skills and their typology. In the application part we used our own research tool, respectively a questionnaire that focuses on 10 key indicators. Through it, we studied the targeted educational reality and interpreted the results obtained.
