The pedagogical Effect of the Teacher-Student Relationship on Teaching Practices and Students` Interest in Learning

ABSTRACT :Education has a strategic role in cultivating the character and civilisation of the nation and conserving its dignity in the vein of the intellectual life of that nation. Therefore, the good behaviour and relationship of educators play a major role in the education system. This paper highlights the importance of the teachers` behaviours and the relationship between teachers and students inside educational institutions. The findings show that for an effective teaching and learning process,friendly, open-minded and a positive attitude from teachers are mandatory. The students also expect the teacher to be patient, well organised, decisive, determined, honest, caring, able to interact with students, and to use attractive teaching methods. On the other hand, teachers feel that students should have a sense of responsibility and be learners that are more independent. The paper proposes several techniques, by which good relationship can be enhanced between the teacher and student, making the students more concerned about their careers and more responsible in the future. The paper also encourages a love of learning and learners` intellectual curiosity. In addition, the paper recommends some practices to bridge the gap between the teacher and the student, and make the process of teaching and learning an enjoyable activity.
