Abstract

At present, the promotion of positive teacher-student relationships has garnered significant attention within the educational community. Many scholars have also studied the benign teacher-student relationship and put forward many novel ideas. However, shortcomings still exist in contemporary teacher-student dynamics and the strategies to enhance them. So, this paper examines the role of a constructive teacher-student relationship, identifies the characteristics and issues associated with negative interactions, and offers recommendations for fostering positive connections. The findings in this paper indicate that a strong teacher-student relationship is positively correlated with students' self-confidence, mental well-being, and effective communication between home and school. Conversely, negative teacher-student relationships are closely linked to teachers' personal attributes and prevailing social norms. In light of these insights, this paper proposes several recommendations aimed at cultivating a healthy modern teacher-student relationship. Teachers should engage in proactive communication to address concerns, foster mutual respect and understanding, and provide essential emotional support.
