THE IMPACT OF STUDENT – TEACHER RELATIONSHIP ON STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of student-teacher relationships on academic performance in technology education. The study was conducted using a sample of students and teachers from technology education programs in selected schools. The research utilized a quantitative method, with a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from students and teachers. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between student-teacher relationships and academic performance. Students who reported having positive relationships with their teachers were found to have higher levels of academic achievement compared to students who reported negative relationships with their teachers. These findings suggest that fostering positive student-teacher relationships can contribute to the academic success of technology education students. The study highlights the importance of teachers investing time and effort in building positive relationships with their students to enhance academic performance and student engagement in the classroom.
