Teacher-student relationships (TSR) have been linked in research to a positive correlation with Student Academic Achievement (SAA). However, few of these studies have used empirical data to quantitatively link TSR to SAA. This study used an explanatory sequential mixed method design model to explain quantitative results through semi-structured…
