Forming positive Teacher Student Relationship .

Self- System Theory:
 This theory emphasizes the importance of students' motivation and by doing so, explains the importance of teacher- child relationships(Connell and Wellborn, 1991; Harter ,in process; McCombs, 1986).
Students comes to the classroom with three basic psychological  needs- competence, autonomy, and relatedness-all of which can be met in a classroom through students' interactions with teachers  and with the learning environment (Deci and Ryan, 2002).
Positive teacher-student relationships help students meet  these needs. Teacher offer feedback to students to support their feelings of competence. Teacher who know their student's interests and performances and show regard and respect for these individual  differences bolster students, feeling of autonomy.( The modules of autonomous learner)
Teacher who establish a personal and caring relationships and foster positive social interactions with in their classrooms meet their students' need for relatedness.(social connection to schools).
Taken together, effective teacher- student relationships confirm to students that teachers  care for them and support their academic efforts.
