In the context of effective elements of atudent’s learning, the influencing role of teacher’s explanation style has been emphasized. In the current study, the contribution of the big five personality traits, age and job status in the prediction of teacher’s clarity has been investigated. The sample includes 100 female teachers from those teaching in high schools of hamedan province selected by multiple-stage cluster sampling method. “Goldberg personality inventory” (GPI) and “Wlodkowski clarity questionnaire” (WCQ) were used for data gathering. 2000 students assessed the teacher’s clarity (20 students for each teacher). The results showed that the personality traits of “extraversion” and “agreeableness” are positive predictors, and “neuroticism” is a negative predictor of teacher’s clarity. The personality traits of “conscientiousness” and “openness to experience” and demographic characteristic (age & job status) cannot predict Teacher’s clarity. According to these results, personality traits are influential factors in teacher’s explanation, and by rearing personality traits such as “Extraversion” and “agreeableness”, teacher’s clarity can be increased.
