Student Teacher Relationships

Many scholars have found that student–teacher relationships are an integral part to student success in schools. The quality of relationships has implications for student engagement and performance. The most successful student–teacher relationships have characteristics of the ethic of care. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the perspectives of care of two teachers within a peer learning structured STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) classroom in an urban high school. In the Peer Enabled Restructured Class (PERC), student facilitators work with teachers to lead instruction. The findings indicated that teachers saw themselves as caring, but their articulations of care varied from authentic care to aesthetic care. The study has implications for teacher preparation and practice as teachers who are prepared and knowledgeable about the importance of relationships and care have the potential for better success with their students.

Perceptions Of School

The aim of this study was to investigate high school students' perceptions of school-related problems. Some 1583 high school students responded to the 35 item High School Stressors Scale (Burnett & Fanshawe, 1997) which measures nine areas of problems experienced by adolescents in schools. These are Teaching Methods, Student-Teacher Relationships, School Workload, School Environment, Feeling Vulnerable, Personal Organization, Achieving Independence, Anxiety about the Future, and Relationships with Parents. The results are discussed and implications for educators, guidance officers and school psychologists working in high schools are presented.

Student Teacher Relationships

Student-teacher relationships that improve over time may help slow or prevent declines in student motivation. In a diverse sample of 1,274 middle and high school students from three schools, this mixed-methods study found that those who improved in developmental relationships with teachers reported greater academic motivation, and more positive perceptions of school climate and instructional quality. Improvements in teacher-student relationships had some positive effects on students’ grade point averages (GPAs) but they varied by school as well as by aspect of the relationship measured. No differences by poverty status were seen in any of these results. Student focus groups yielded additional understanding of the actions and mechanisms through which student-teacher relationships improve. Results of this study suggest that if individual educators and entire school communities focus on strengthening student-teacher relationships, significant improvements can be made in students’ motivation, engagement, and performance.

AbstractStudent-teacher relationships play an important role in both teacher and student experiences in higher education and have been found to be linked to learning, classroom management, and to student absenteeism. Although historically conceptualised in terms of immediacy or distance and measured with reference to behaviours, the growing recognition of the role of emotions and of power—as well as the development of a range of multidimensional models of social relationships—all suggest it is time to re-evaluate how student-teacher relationships are understood. This paper develops a theoretical model of student-teacher affective relationships in higher education based on three dimensions: affection/warmth, attachment/safety, and assertion/power. The three-dimensional model was tested using the Classroom Affective Relationships Inventory (CARI) with data from 851 students. The data supported the use of this multidimensional model for student-teacher relationships with both two- and three-dimensional models of relationships being identified as appropriate. The theoretical development of a multidimensional model and the empirical development of an instrument with which to explore these dimensions has important implications for higher education teachers, administrators and researchers.
