Background

Psychologically speaking, teaching and learning is a two-way process in which the role of students is equally important. If students are ignored in the class, it is unlikely to result in unpleasant learning outcomes. In order to ensure the smooth process of teaching and learning, the relationship between teachers and students needs to be well-understood which is a critical factor in educational settings, influencing academic achievement, social-emotional development, and classroom dynamics. In this connection, psychological perspectives provide valuable insights into how these relationships form, evolve, and impact learning outcomes. In order to ensure significant learning outcomes, relationship between teacher and students needs to be the utmost importance.

Goal/Rationale:

The symposium is significant in terms of exploring the impact of teacher-student relationships on teaching and learning process in education. Additionally, the symposium highlights the role of teachers and students which is different in varying contexts. Therefore, the impact can also vary depending on the context of the study. Simply, it can lead to biased data. Secondly, cultural variability is often overlooked, as most studies focus on Western contexts, neglecting how Teacher-student relationships function in diverse educational systems. Emotional and mental well-being of both the teachers and students is crucial to ensure outcome-based learning. Overall, a number of studies are being carried on in this particular dimension where interesting findings are emerging. As a whole, psychological perspectives are key which need to taken into consideration for better relationship between teacher and student. By doing so, there can positive learning outcomes on the learners’ part.

Call for Papers:

This symposium is aimed at highlighting the impact of better teacher-students relationship in education and exploring its importance on the mental and emotional well-being of both teacher and students. Furthermore, the symposium underscores that positive teacher-student relationships improve academic engagement, reduce behavioral issues, and foster resilience. In this connection, contributors will address the need of positive relationship between teacher and students which can lead to academic excellence and professional development of students and teachers respectively. They will opine that the role of teachers is restricted to classroom teaching only; rather they emerge as nation-builders and inspiration for the students. In this way, they will also address challenges of cultural diversity, power dynamics, mental health in the relationship between teacher and students.
