Abstract
The teacher's attitude towards the teaching process and communication skills is of particular importance and plays a crucial role in today’s rapidly changing world. It has to go together, raising consciousness and awareness of individuals on study environment issues and ensuring that they contribute to solutions of learning problems. The research was conducted with 405 prospective professionals from the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Ecology, Aleksandras Stulginskis University. An interactive questionnaire ‘Study subject in student’s eyes’ (SSSE) developed at Aleksandras Stulginskis University (2014–2017) was used as the data collection tool. This article analyses the teachers’ pedagogical work from the students’ point of view. The multi-variate analysis and regression tree model were used in the interpretation of results. The results confirmed the hypothesis that hard working students better evaluate teachers’ professional skills. It seems that elder course students with age have higher expectations from the teaching environment.
