Abstract :

This research is an effort to understand the perception of a teacher about the competencies that they possess and ideal competencies to be possessed by them. Researcher has collected the data from 273 primary school teachers of different schools of Davanagere district of Karnataka. It is concluded that there is a significant difference in their perception of the ideal competencies among male and female teachers. Female teachers are more competent than the male teachers. But both lack in competencies like, Narrating a story, Reciting a poem and Monitoring learners progress during and after the session, which are very much essential from the their performance point of view. Apart from these male teachers are less competent in competencies like, Basic knowledge of the child development and Knowledge of understanding the local culture.
