Association between the Teacher-Student Relationship and Teacher Visual Focus of Attention in Grade 1: Student Task Avoidance and Gender as Moderators
Educational Psychology, v44 n3 p265-283 2024
This study investigated associations between quality of the teacher-student relationship (closeness and conflict) and teachers' (N = 48) visual focus of attention in Grade 1 classrooms in fall and spring, and it explored to what extent students' (N = 650) gender and task-avoidant behaviour moderated the associations. Results showed first that teacher-student closeness was positively associated with teachers' visual focus of attention in the fall and spring, whereas teacher-student conflict was positively associated with teachers' visual focus of attention only in the spring. In addition, the results of multigroup analysis showed that students' task-avoidant behaviour had a moderating effect on the association between the quality of the teacher-student relationship and teachers' visual focus of attention in the spring, but gender did not.
