The Effects of Teacher‐Student (Dis)Similarities on Disciplinary Incidents (original) (raw)

Education and Society

Abstract

Teacher-student interactions are at the core of formal learning experiences. Since these interactions can be affected by ways in which the teacher or student perceive themselves to be similar, we investigated the effects of racial/ethnic and gender similarities on the type and frequency of disciplinary incidents adolescents were involved in at one middle and one high school. Results indicated that the total number of times a student was disciplined in a given year was higher for students whose race or gender was different from that of their teacher.
