    Study Notes

    • High-quality teacher-student relationships (TSRs) support students' engagement, achievement, and school attendance, especially in science.
    • TSRs are complex and multi-dimensional, and can be positive, negative, distant, or complicated.
    • Negative TSRs (high conflict, low support) are consistently associated with the lowest levels of motivation in science.
    • Positive and complicated TSRs (high support, some conflict) are associated with the highest levels of motivation, followed by distant TSRs (average support, low conflict).
    • Teachers should focus on providing socio-emotional support, instrumental help, and minimizing conflict in TSRs.
    • Adequate socio-emotional support can be provided by getting to know and recognizing students' individuality.
    • Instrumental help can be fostered by providing effective and constructive feedback.
    • Conflict can be reduced where possible and repaired after it occurs by listening to students, acknowledging their feelings, and working towards a resolution.
    • Understanding the different types of TSRs can help teachers better support student motivation in science.
    • The decline in student motivation for science in Australia is a concern, and understanding factors that support motivation, such as TSRs, can help keep science pathways open.
    • The article discusses disengagement with math among students and future teachers.
    • The study was conducted through surveys and interviews with pre-service teachers.
    • The results showed that many pre-service teachers had negative attitudes towards math and lacked confidence in their abilities.
    • The study suggests that teacher education programs should focus on developing positive attitudes towards math and promoting its importance.
    • The authors argue that math education should be more student-centered and focus on real-life applications.
    • The study found that many pre-service teachers had experienced negative math teaching practices in the past.
    • The authors suggest that teacher education programs should provide opportunities for pre-service teachers to reflect on their own experiences with math.
    • The study highlights the need for teacher education programs to provide ongoing support for pre-service teachers in developing their math knowledge and confidence.
    • The authors suggest that math anxiety among teachers can negatively impact student learning outcomes.
    • The study emphasizes the importance of addressing disengagement with math among both students and future teachers.
