Numerous studies have highlighted the significant importance of teacher-student relationships. However, there is still a lack of research examining the specific development of these relationships through day-to-day interactions within lessons.

So, the module "Understanding Teacher-Student Interactions" focuses on exploring the dynamics and significance of interactions between teachers and students within the educational context. By delving into this topic, participants gain valuable insights into the impact of teacher-student interactions on learning outcomes, student engagement, and overall classroom climate.

Through a combination of theoretical foundations, practical examples, and reflective exercises, this module equips educators with a deeper understanding of teacher-student interactions and provides them with a toolkit to enhance these interactions for improved learning outcomes and student well-being.
