Abstract

While some research has focused on teachers’ impacts no work to our knowledge has examined favorite teachers. This exploratory study sought to narrow this gap by investigating their nature and prevalence through an online survey. Results demonstrate the majority of participants report a favorite teacher and their influence is discussed.
