Abstract

Education is a topic that people often discuss in today's society. Since students and teachers spend a significant amount of time in contact, there is an increasing focus on the teacher-student relationship in the education community. This article primarily delves into the types of teacher-student relationships and their impact. Upon reviewing the literature, it becomes evident that, in the past, the relationship between teachers and students exhibited a notable imbalance. Teachers held authority in transmitting knowledge, while students typically served as knowledge receivers. With the continuous development of society, the relationship between teachers and students is undergoing constant change, gradually becoming more equal. Teachers are no longer mere authorities in the classroom but actively engage with students, thereby fostering a positive teacher-student relationship. This positive relationship will not only have a beneficial impact on students but will also elevate teachers' teaching standards. The article also provides specific suggestions on how to cultivate a positive teacher-student relationship, aiming to assist teachers in creating a positive and effective rapport with their students.
