ניתוח משווה של איכות היחסים בין מורים ותלמידים במצבי סיכון ובין מורים ותלמידים שאינם בסיכון

This research examines the quality of relations between teachers and at-risk students vs. non-at-risk students, with focus on “affective fabric.” Effective fabric accentuates the developmental-emotional needs of adolescents and discusses components related to the healthy social-emotional development of students at school. The recent COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in dropout rates and a rising number of at-risk students. This emphasizes the importance of examining the various needs the school provides its students,especially teacher—student relations. The main research question was: Are there perceptual differences of the teacher -student relations between the two student groups? This research is founded on qualitative research which included 2,155 students, of whom 966 are at-risk students. Additionally, 214teachers participated in the evaluation of the quality of the relationships with their students. The findings indicate that the quality of the teacher—student relationship is perceived more positively among at-risk students compared to the students of the comparison group. Therefore, it is eminent to focus on resolving the emotional needs of at-risk youth since they benefit from this relationship more than those not at-risk.
