The Impact of Poor Administration and Teacher Relationship on Students Academic Performance: A Review

The independent variable in your research topic is the "poor administration and teacher relationship." This is the variable you manipulate or change to observe any effects on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is "students academic performance". This is the variable you measure to see if it changes in response to alterations in the independent variable. Independent Variable Measurement: Measuring the quality of administration and teacher relationships can be a bit challenging as it involves subjective experiences and perceptions. However, there are several ways to go about this: 1. Survey or Questionnaires: Administering surveys with specific questions about their perception of their relationship with the administration, their satisfaction with their role, and sense of support could provide quantitative data. 2. Observation: Independent observers such as educational consultants could assess the interactions between the teachers and the administration. 3. Interviews: One-on-one interviews can provide more in-depth understanding of the perceptions of teachers and administrators about their relationships. Dependent Variable Measurement: Students' academic performance can be measured through more conventional methods: 1. Grades: These can be gathered from their report cards or school records. 2. Standardized Tests: These tests are administered uniformly in similar manner to gauge the academic understanding and performance of students. 3. Attendance: While this does not directly measure academic performance, regular attendance in school often correlates with higher academic achievement. 4. Classroom Behavior: Teacher's observation about student's behavior and participation in class could also be used to measure a student's academic performance. Remember, the goal is to see if changes in the administration-teacher relationship (independent variable) result in changes in students’ academic performance (dependent variable).
