Teacher Student Relationship

Creating Positive Teacher- Student Relationship that will Promote Teaching and Learning

Introduction

According to (Pianta, 1999) student-teacher relationships can be defined by experiences that appear based on emotions as a result of teachers’ continuing interactions with his or her students.

Learning takes place within a web of social relationships as teachers and pupils interact both formally and informally. Teacher-student relationships are important for the success of teachers and students alike. As it relates to classroom management, such relationships are the most important factor in determining a teacher 's work as effective.

A strong relationship with students is very important for the success of a classroom and so teachers should

When student’ relationship with teachers grow it will have an important, positive and long lasting implication on their academic success as well as their social development. However, students who possess close, progressive and supportive relationships with their teachers often times accomplish higher levels of achievement than those students without that type of close and progressive relationship.

Several cognitive theorists argue that learning is a collective event, and numerous studies have proven that both teachers and students can be held accountable if teachers do not see it important in building emotionally warm, supportive relationships with and among their students. In improving students’ chances for academic success, educators must attempt to build meaningful individual relationships with

The teacher then needs to recognize the value of the students ' senses of belonging, which can be of greater value and build self-worth for minority students.

When a child is shouted at the child can develop fear and this can lead to the teacher inhibiting the child from learning. Teachers will have different reasons to explain why they yell at their students, but shouting should not be the solution for children who find education a difficult process or simply lack of learning experiences, but sometimes teachers find yelling at the child as the only quick
