The central problem of this article is the definition of the concepts «image» and «the image of a teacher» in Russian and foreign literature. The purpose of the study is to interpret these categories within the comparative analysis. To implement the stated purpose a range of tasks was defined: to analyze and systematize the definition of the essence of the concepts «image» and «the image of a teacher»; identify similarities and differences in their interpretation given by Russian and foreign authors. The logic of the presentation provides an assessment of understanding the concepts «image» and «the image of a teacher» in Russian and foreign reference books and pedagogical literature. The historiography analysis has shown the absence of a common view on the definition of the image. This fact explains the relevance of the chosen topic. Russian researchers see the image as a picture, an idea and consider this concept as an integral one involving a set of its components: visual (external), internal and procedural. Foreign researchers, in contrast to Russian authors, focus on the external component of the image, describing it as a picture, face, portrait, product, commodity. As a result, an attempt was made to formulate the author’s understanding of the concept «the image of a teacher»
