This study investigated good and caring teaching behaviours as perceived by Business Education students in Tertiary Institutions in the North Eastern Nigeria. The latter needed good and caring teaching behaviours to reform the education sector that had been devastated by Boko Haram insurgency. The design of the study was survey. The research questions answered were: (i) what knowledge bases do business education students perceived of their Lecturers for good and caring teaching in their institutions?; (ii) What repertoire of best practices do business education students perceived their lecturers have for good and caring teaching in the institutions?; and (iii) what attitude and skills of problem-solving and reflection do the students perceived of their lecturers for good and caring teaching in the tertiary institutions? An instrument of 20 items was distributed to 200 respondents in three tertiary institutions located in the North Eastern Nigeria. Frequency and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed, among others, that business education students perceived that their lecturers have control over a knowledge base that guides what they do as Lecturers; that they also perceived that their lecturers have a repertoire of best teaching practices which they have been using to instruct them in the classrooms and to work with fellow workers in the university setting. Lastly they perceived that their lecturers have disposition and skills to approach all aspects of their work in a reflective, collegial and problem-solving manner. It was therefore recommended that the relevant Tertiary Institutional Authorities and government agencies in the North Eastern Nigeria should provide adequate professional training and retraining of Business Education Lecturers in order to help them become good and caring lecturers.
