Teachers and Students' Relationship in Nigeria Higher Institutions: Effect on Student Learning, Intellectual Chang and Development James Olaogun, Catherine Ajoke Oluyemo Ekiti State University, Nigeria 0037 The European Conference on the Social Sciences 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract ! Education has taken a progressive stride in Nigeria. Both male and female are acquiring education more than before. The general objective of this study is to investigate how the relationships between teachers and students have contributed to the learning ability and educational attainments of students. While the specific objectives include; examining if the relationship encourages learning, investigating attitude of students to learning and studying the kind of assistance students get from their teachers. Qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Six hundred students (600) took part in the research study and data was analyzed using the statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Some variables were cross tabulated to provide association among the variables. It was discovered that though students are learning from their teachers, yet the relationship is not as cordial. Some of the times, the relationships do not allow good learning atmosphere for students because of demands made by the teachers. The bad learning attitudes of the students put off the teachers such as non attendant of students in class, anti – social activities, and bad attitude of students in carrying out their assignment on time, lateness to school especially at the beginning of semesters. Keywords: Teacher, Student, Relationship, Learning, Intellectual Change, Development.
