Abstract

Teacher brings sustainable development across the globe. The relation among pupils and their teachers plays an important role in motivating and shaping their personality. If both pupils and teachers work in coordination and harmony, it will make congenial atmosphere for the students to grow. The teachers better understand the child’s likes and dislikes which helps in the development of strong relationship with their pupils. After the parents, it is the teacher who is the most important and influential adult in child’s life. He is the one who has a lot of influence in building up child’s intellect and personality.The study was designed to find out the relationship between the dependent variable (teacher-pupil relation) with the independent variables (motivation and learning).Random sampling technique was followed to collect the sample of the study. The sample for the study was 300 students (boys and girls) studying in 9^th and 10^th classes of private secondary schools in Chandigarh.The Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient was used to analyse the data.Findings revealed that the teacher-pupil relationship plays a vital role in learning. More the student is motivated, more is the learning. So, the effective learning takes place when the relationship between the teacher and pupils is strong. The teachers should motivate their students from time to time as it is the essential component of effective learning.
