The Impact of Teacher and Principal Interpersonal Behaviour on Student Learning Outcomes

A Large Scale Study in Secondary Schools of Cyprus

  • Chapter
Interpersonal Relationships in Education

Part of the book series: Advances in Learning Environments Research ((ALER,volume 3))

Abstract

Educational Effectiveness Research (EER) addresses the questions on what works in education and why. Over the last two decades, the quality of EER has increased considerably by the use of improved research designs, sampling strategies, and statistical techniques. Methodological advances, particularly the availability of particular software for the analysis of multilevel data, have enabled more efficient estimates of teacher and school differences in student achievement to be obtained (Goldstein, 2003).
