non-cordial relationship, Teacher-student relationshipAbstract
As a matter of fact, teacher-student relationship provides a unique entry point
for educators and others working to improve the social and learning environments
of schools and classrooms. The focus of this review is on the effects of non-cordial
relationship between teachers and students of secondary schools on teachinglearning process. In view of this, the work examines relationship and types of
relationships; factors affecting student-teacher relationship; ways of improving
teacher-student relationships, as well as the benefits of positive student-teacher
relationships. It is revealed that the child should be made to feel free, be at ease,
active in class, yet remain disciplined. Based on this, the study concludes that
there is every need for a positive coexistence between the teacher and his students.
