“…Researchers have investigated teacherestudent relationships using an interpersonal perspective, that is studying teaching in terms of the relationship between teacher and students (Brok, 2001). Using this perspective, studies show that the way students perceive their teacher interpersonally (teacher interpersonal behaviour) relates to students' academic achievement (e.g., Brok, 2001;Goh & Fraser, 1998), attitude towards learning (e.g., Brok, Levy, Brekelmans, & Wubbels, 2005;Gupta & Fisher, 2011;Henderson & Fisher, 2008;Telli, den Brok, & Cakiroglu, 2007;van Uden, Ritzen, & Pieters, 2014), and students' learning motivation (Maulana, Opdenakker, den Brok, & Bosker, 2011;Maulana, Opdenakker, Stroet, & Bosker, 2013;. Numerous studies have been done using the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) and have involved students from primary schools (e.g., Fisher, Waldrip, Dorman, & den Brok, 2007;Goh & Fraser, 1998), secondary schools (e.g., Gupta & Fisher, 2011;Maulana et al, 2011;Rickards, 1998;Rickards, den Brok, & Fisher, 2005), and higher education (e.g., Fraser, Aldridge, & Soerjaningsih, 2010) including teacher education programmes (e.g., Jong, Tartwijk, Wubbels, Veldman, & Verloop, 2013).…”
