摘要：AbstractThe current research tackles the main activities performed by the teacher in his/her capacity of an information provider, from a modern approach, and highlights those types of activities highly as well as less. The target group consisted of 80 first year engineering students, studying at UPT. A 28 dichotomic item questionnaire was devised (such as self-development/student development activities), including the main activities related to the didactic role of information provider. Moreover, the results of the present study indicate that students place greater emphasis on the activities likely to trigger personal development or addressing the emotional aspect of the professor-student relationship, the quality of information, didactic transposition, teaching process as opposed to activities dealing with the teacher's professional development and students’ involvement in the knowledge process.
