6. Literature Review
● The student-teacher relationships affects the
attitude of students not only toward the school but
also toward the desire of learning. (Christenson,
2007)
● A recent study found that student-teacher
relationships throughout elementary school
affects the reading achievement of
students.(McCormick & O'Connor, 2014).
Figure 2

7. Literature Review
• The student-teacher
relationship affects the
classroom environment
for students how they feel
in it.(Murray & Malmgren,
2005).
• Face to face interactions
between student and
teacher increase the
self-confident of
students.( O’Connor et
al., 2011; Silver et al.,
2005)

8. Literature Review
• Early teacher-student relationships,especially in kindergarten affect
academic and social outcomes as well as future academic outcomes
and become social people in daily life.(Cataldi & KewallRamani,
2009)
• Motivation plays a key role in the relationship
between teacher-student for academic
outcomes because it is closely linked to
student’s perceptions of teacher
expectations.(Fan & Willams, 2010)

12. Why we
choose
this
problem
• We choose this problem because
we want to examine the reasons of
students’ hesitation to share their
problems with their teachers. This
is because the solution of the
problem can be investigated in
terms of not only teacher and
family but also peer and
technology.

16. • Experienced teachers know how to
construct strong relationship with
students effectively via their previous
experiences. (Nye, Konstantopoulos &
Hedges, 2004)
• In terms of attitude of teacher, the
authoritarian teachers put the pressure
on students, so students hesitate to
contact with their teachers.(Vohra,2012)
Teacher
Figure 8
16

17. • High expectations of teacher affects the relationship
between teacher and students negatively because the belief
of teacher decreases toward students and also teacher tend
to ignore them in the classroom.(Spiegel, 2012)
• If ethnicity of the teacher and students does not match, this
ethnic imbalance can decrease teacher’s closeness towards
students (Hughes, J.,& Kwok, O., 2007)

Student (İsmet)- May I see my paper teacher?
Teacher- Yes, sure. However, if I had given more grades to you, I will get them back.
(FROM THEN ON, İSMET NEVER DEMANDED OR REJECTED ANYTHING.

19. • Teachers' gender perceptions of students' ability is also
reflected in the type of praise and expectations. Teachers
often give girls less meaningful and less critical praise than
boys.(Liu, 2006)
• In terms of quality of teacher, effective teacher arouses more
attention of students than non-effective teachers via the
some activities in the classroom.( Hamilton, 2012)

20. •Students from low income have more difficulties to do homework than
others because when teacher wants them to design a project ,their
parents cannot meet the materials about it,so they feel inadequate
toward their teachers and hesitate to connect with them.(Jensen, 2013)
Family
When the parents fight in the presence
of their children,the children behave
aggressively in the school toward their
teachers or friends.(Yeo, 2015)
Figure 10
20

21. •Children from authoritarian
family environment hesitate to
connect with their teachers
because they assume that all
older people are authoritarian
including their teachers like their
family.( Englehart, 2009)
Family
Figure 11

22. •Students humiliate while the latter connect with their teachers by
ridiculing as ‘looser’.( Becca, 2014)
Peer
• Students from high income put pressure on students from low
income, so the latter withdraw and so do not want to connect with
not only their friends but also their teachers.
Figure 12
22

23. •Because of easy accessibility of the Internet everywhere,
students do not need to ask a question or interact with their
teacher.
•Developing technologies and apps leads to socialize people in
the artificial world not in the real world because each person
know each other from the social networks. Thus, they do not
try to communicate face to face. Such individuality is reflected
to the relationships between teachers and students(Wellman
& Haythornthwaite, 2008).

37. Conclusion
•Although the quality of teacher is an important factor about
the relationship between teacher and students, student do not
give an adequate importance to this property.They focus on
personal characteristics of teacher. (Christenson, 2007)
•About the relationship, teacher and student evaluate the type
of problems differently.
•Although the teacher assumes his/her students consult
him/her, from the students point of view this is not the case.
(Liu, 2006)

not judged by his/her teacher
• Make a student feel his/her
character is not critized by
his/her teacher.
How can you manage this?
• Use ‘I language’
• Try not to use ‘but’
• Rather than find a solution, listen
him/her completely and guide
them to find their own solution
39

40. Tactics
Unity
• Make students feel as a part
of the classroom.
• Make students feel there are
not any discriminations in the
classroom.
How can you manage this?
• Teacher and students should
prepare ‘Generalizations’ about
the classroom together.
• Teacher should not focus on
students’ success while

40

Peer
• Make a student feel
comfortable while interacting
and communicating with
his/her peers.
How can you manage this?
• Divide students into groups, and
time to time change these
groups with some different
