relation between teacher and student

INTRODUCTION:
The teacher student relationship is very important for children. Children spend approximately 5 to 7 hours a day with a teacher for almost 10 months. We ask ourselves what is considered a good teacher. All of us have gone through schooling, and if fortunate had a favourite teacher. A positive relationship between the student and the teacher is difficult to establish, but can be found for both individuals at either end.

Although the vast majority of the extant research on social relatedness and engagement has been conducted with students in Grades 3 and higher (for reviews, see Furrer & Skinner, 2003, and Stipek, 2002), recent...
