How has Lebanese Education System Affected the
Personality Development of School Students The
personality of the student contributes to the
academic motivation and performance of school
students. It is the foundation of their
interaction with colleagues and teachers and also
shapes their future in society. The personality
traits, as stated in the Myers and Briggs theory
of personality, plays a vital role even in
childhood behaviour. These traits influence not
only the goals a student sets for themselves,
but also influences the path which the student
takes in achieving these goals. Research has
emphasized that the 'Big Five Personality Traits'
play a significant role in developing traits
suitable for a healthy personality in a student.
These Big Five Traits are Neuroticism,
Extraversion, Openness to Experience,
Agreeableness and Conscientiousness.

• So, in this blog, we see how these personality
  traits affect the development of school students
• Conscientiousness Conscientiousness has been
  linked to educational achievement and
  particularly to the will to achieve. Those who
  are conscientious are expected to be successful
  in their work or careers. In work settings,
  recent research has demonstrated that managers
  perceive cognitive ability and Conscientiousness
  as the most important attributes related to
  whether or not an applicant is hireable.
• Extraversion Students who score high on
  extraversion of the personality trait scale are
  usually sociable, talkative, communicative, and
  friendly. They also have intrinsic motivation and
  a positive attitude. Such students can also be
  described as active, bold, assertive, exciting,
  and stimulating. Such traits make for
  'extroverts' who go out of their way to achieve
  their goals and make their place in society.

• Neuroticism Students must score low on
  neuroticism. Low neuroticism ensures that the
  students are calm and relaxed in the work
  environment at school. They have lower levels of
  anxiety and depression in their personal lives.
  Scoring high on this personality trait can hamper
  their academic motivation and hinder their
  performance in studies.
• Agreeableness This trait is seen to score higher
  in female students than male students. A high
  score in friendliness leads to the student being
  kind, merciful, forgiving and understanding. Such
  a trait increases the likeable factor within
  students, making them more social and responsible
  within their peers.
• What is the Importance of Teacher's Attributes
  (H2)
• Each individual's characteristic traits affect
  the manner and behaviour in their interaction
  with other people - especially when it comes to
  communication between the teacher and the
  student.
• Personality traits facilitate the learning
  process - especially when learning is taking
  place during the absence of verbal
  communication. If there is a positive
  student-teacher relationship with a low presence
  of conflict and high support, the students
  benefit from it greatly. It is known to affect
  social skills and promotes academic performance.
• The teacher exhibits good behaviours related to
  agreeable traits and acts as a role model in
  front of the students. In this way, a teacher
  can stimulate the process of developing these
  amiable traits in their personalities.
• The best international schools in Malaysia aim at
  developing an effective education system.
  Ensuring that these traits in the students are
  honed according to the requirements, they shape
  them into good citizens and active members of
  society.
