Abstract

This research on Teacher-Student Relationships (TSR) in education has shown that TSR is an important determinant of classroom environments and suggests that a good TSR is beneficial for student learning and outcomes (Davis, 2003; den Brok, Brekelmans, & Wubbels, 2004; Henderson, Fisher, & Fraser, 2000; Opdenakker, Maulana, & den Brok, 2012).
