Student-Teacher-Relationships (Davis, 2003)
-
Motivation Perspectives
-
-
"students not only appreciate the structure and support that teacher relationships can provide, but also the ability of teachers to help them feel successful in educational pursuits."
-
-
Seeking adult approval: Complementing,
compensating, or competing?
"children who come to view their social world as predictable and adults as trustworthy and supportive are likely to continue using nonparental adults as bases for exploration to continue to learn about the world around them"
"children who are focused on ganing adult approval (e.g., dependent on adult regard) cannot be focused on meeting their intellectual needs of exploration"
"compared with students who approach tasks with a mastery motivation, students who seek adult approval tend to report being less intrinsically motivated for tasks and engage in more self-handicapping strategies."

Populations, Paradigms, Methods & Future Directions
Future Directions
-
Grand theories: define the “intellectual culture” within a field, implicitly directing inquiry
-
Future Studies
Motivation Perspective
How to re-engage students when they are not motivated even though they are within a supportive environment
-
How different recognition and grouping strategies promote or discourage students’ pursuit of social goals and peer relationships
How teachers come to know what will be perceived by their students as intrinsically interesting or relevant.

Attachment Perspective
How important is the continued experience from parent-child relationships to teacher-child relationships and among these teacher-child relationships throughout the schooling experience?
How important are early or initial relationships with teacher to later relationship quality? (Perception & interpretation of interactions may become harder to change over time)
How well does the attachment perspective describe relationships between older students and their teachers?
If children develop an attachment history with their teachers, what types of expectations about teachers and nature of teacher-interactions do they develop?
Do relationships with teachers compensate for risk factors (problematic parent relationships, peer relationships, feelings of alienation from school, or developmental risks)
Methods
Social constructivist: Qualitative methodologies (case study and enthography) such as in-depth interviews and holistic observations. Relationships are viewed as dynamic, changing, and culturally bound.- multiple truth
Attachment theories: Observational methods, sorting checklists, and teacher and parent rating scales to evaluate relationship quality. They look for a single truth to relationship quality.
Motivation and ecological perspectives: Student and teacher self-report. More interpretivist approach. constructing Relationships as situated within complex classroom contexts - a more interpretivist approach
-
Ecological Perspective: physical setup of classrooms, class size, the internal and external social pressures.
students' abilities to coordinate or find ways to concurrently pursue intellectual and peer goals in the class may influence the overall quality of their relationships with teachers.
the quality of specific student-teacher dyads may reflect students' perceptions of the quality of other student-teacher dyads in the classroom.
smaller class and school sizes have positive influence on the quality of relationships that children develop with their teachers
"liking" a teacher may be relative to students' perceptions of how much the teacher "likes" the other students in the class
