    A Case Study of Teacher-Student Relationship Development
    Mosley, Chaney; Broyles, Thomas; Kaufman, Eric K. (2021)
    This study investigates how teacher-student relationships develop. If a teacher is able to foster high-quality relationships with all students, will students work harder in the classroom? An understanding of how teacher student relationships develop is critical to answering that question. In this investigation, the authors follow a holistic case study tradition to explore teacher-student relationship development. Five themes emerged that collectively describe the development of teacher-student dyadic relationships. The authors explore how descriptions of dyadic relationship development offered by teachers and students align with Leader-member Exchange theory and discuss implications for practice and future research.

    Leader-member Exchange, Cognitive Style, and Student Achievement
    Mosley, Chaney; Broyles, Thomas; Kaufman, Eric K. (2014-07-01)
    The purpose of this study is to explain how the quality of teacher-student relationships and the gap of cognitive styles between teachers and students impact student achievement. The population for the study was comprised of 11 career and technical education (CTE) teachers and 210 CTE students, representing six disciplines within CTE. The study occurred in a suburban high school in western North Carolina. Leader-member Exchange (LMX) theory and Adaption- innovation theory guided the research. Dyadic intensity between teachers and students predicts the quality of teacher-student relationships from both the teacher’s perspective and the student’s perspective. The quality of teacher-student relationships from the teacher’s perspective predicts the quality of teacher-student relationships student’s perspective. Further research is recommended to understand how leader-member exchange manifests in classroom settings and impacts student achievement.

    Mosley, Chaney; Ellis, Keyana; Kaufman, Eric K. (American Association for Agricultural Education, 2012-05-17)
    The purpose of this study was to explore student perceptions of agricultural advocacy. The researchers aimed to determine whether or not students pursuing a degree in agriculture held the same attitudes toward animal agriculture, and assess student definitions of advocacy, student perceptions of effective advocacy skills, and student opinions of the importance of advocacy in agricultural careers.
