Planning for Improvements in Boys' Academic Performance: Toward a Better Understanding of Teacher-Student Relationship
Thompson, Canute
Educational Planning, v24 n4 p59-76 2017
This article explores the quality of teacher-student relationship as it relates to the academic performance of Jamaican male high school students when compared to their female counterparts. The study examined data from a regional examination body and found that girls out-performed boys in all subjects in the period 2011-2016. In extracting data from another study, it was found that boys had less positive perceptions of their relationships with their principals and teachers than girls. This article points to the need for educational practitioners and policy makers to adopt new ways of engaging boys in the teaching and learning process. Attention needs to be paid to the emotional and interpersonal needs of boys.
