Building Teacher-Student Interpersonal Relationship to Manage Misbehaved Students in Senior High School
Abstract
Teachers and students are both the actors of the classrooms’ success. Further, a good
connection between teachers and students is fundamentally needed. This was in line with the
study by Fan (2012), he revealed that the quality of the ties between the students and the teacher
depends on the work performed by them. Furthermore, the quality of their connection would
influence the circumstances in the classroom. A lot of teachers got remarkable challenges when
they had to be at stake with misbehaved students especially in senior high school.
Understanding the characteristics of the students could be the plus point of starting a good
relationship with the students. That was in line with the study conducted by Muller (2001), he
revealed that teacher support and trustworthiness would provide students with an expectation
that their investments in teacher relations and in schools will be protected by teachers'
dedication to success. By commemorating these experiences, the author was determined to
build relationships as well with the students. Thus, this research focused on describing the
author’s experiences to build relationships with the students in her own ways.
