The Link between Student-Teacher Interpersonal Relationship, Psychological and Subjective Well-Being, and Academic Performance of Secondary School Students

This empirical research study examined student-teacher interpersonal relationships as a factor in psychological quality and their impact on students’ educational performance. This study is of great importance given that evidence supports a connection that teacher-student relationships are critical in high school student life development, including the achievement of academic success, acceptance in society, and satisfaction of students learning about society. The descriptive-correlation research design, purposive sampling, and stratified sampling techniques assisted in stratifying the respondents based on their sex, grade levels, and schools. The descriptive-correlational and inferential statistics aided in the discussion of the findings. SPSS version 21 helped with data analysis, whereas Pearson r and t-test tools assisted in the data treatment, and tables helped to visualize the results. The results showed a positive and significant correlation between teacher-student interpersonal relationship constructs and the subjective and objective psychological well-being indicators. The findings also revealed significant negative associations with family and belief in self. Also, the findings revealed significant mean differences between teacher-student interpersonal relationships when grouped and compared according to sex and school affiliations. The research findings' theoretical implications amplify the interpersonal and relational theories anchored in positive psychology approaches in connecting interpersonal relationships in high school and basic education, daily teaching, and learning pedagogies. The practical and social implications are that teacher education programs should emphasize the ability of educators to develop and foster positive interpersonal and interactional classroom cultural behaviors that empower students to assimilate respectful relationships with teachers and schoolmates.
