Teacher Student Relationship

•  We believe that students of all backgrounds deserve the opportunity to lead, participate, and get the guidance and support they need from their respective teachers.

•  We believe students are capable. When students feel that their teachers are supportive, trustworthy people, they tend to create a connection with their teacher and start to see their teachers as someone who is there to protect them and give them all the chance to enhance their learning and in the same time behave well.

Student-teacher relationship

Pianta (1999) defines the student-teacher relationship, as “emotion-based experiences that emerge out of teachers’ on-going interactions with their students.” Students’ ability to connect with their teachers is one attribute that can make a great difference in students’ learning achievement.

The need of Teacher-Student Relationships

A good and supportive relationship is needed to create safe environments and give students the confidence to work without pressure and become motivated to learn.

Students feel motivated and stimulated to learn and actively collaborate with the teachers when the classroom is running in a safe and supportive environment.

When students have supportive relationships with their teachers, they feel more motivated and engaged in the learning process.

in a safe environment where students can feel engaged and motivated to learn, share their experiences, and demonstrate their competence.

teachers who hold high expectations of students in terms of their levels of achievement and their social behaviors in the classroom can affect student motivation and engagement

A teacher can use numerous strategies to manage their classroom and offer students the opportunity to build their knowledge and also to prevent misbehavior in the classroom.

Good classroom management allows the students to behave well and be motivated and focused on enhancing their interaction with the whole class.

Research in the area of motivation indicates that the quality of teacher-student relationships affects students’ emotional and behavioral engagement in school

A good classroom environment is important because the social-emotional climate a teacher establishes with students will provide opportunities to see themselves as capable, worthy and confident members of the classroom community and make them feel part of the learning process.

Trickett and Moos 1973 state that the classroom environment consists of three overarching dimensions: the ability for students to develop relationships with their instructors and peers, the extent to which students engage in learning activities, and the general structure and order of the classroom provided by the instructor.
