Abstract

Building rapport between instructors and students is a challenge, especially in large classes and in online environments. Previous work has shown that non-content Instructor Talk can foster positive student-teacher relationships, but less is known about non-content talk in electronic instructor messages. Here, we used the established Instructor Talk framework to craft positively phrased electronic messages that were sent through the course's learning management system to students enrolled in an introductory biology course at a large public institution. We examined both close- and open-ended survey responses (n = 226) to assess students' perceptions of the electronic messages, the course, and their instructor. Of the established Instructor Talk categories, the building student/instructor relationship category was most memorable to students. Encouragingly, 61% of students indicated they "liked the course more" and 88% indicated they "liked the instructor more" in response to the electronic messages. This demonstrates that implementing positively phrased Instructor Talk into electronic communication is an effective way to build rapport between instructors and students.

"他们帮助我度过了这个学期":电子教员信息可以促进教员与学生之间的关系。
在教师和学生之间建立融洽的关系是一项挑战,尤其是在大班教学和网络环境中。以前的研究表明,非内容性的 "教师谈话 "可以促进积极的师生关系,但对电子教师信息中的非内容性谈话却知之甚少。在此,我们使用已建立的 "教师谈话 "框架来制作积极措辞的电子信息,通过课程的学习管理系统发送给在一所大型公立院校学习生物入门课程的学生。我们检查了封闭式和开放式调查问卷的回复(n = 226),以评估学生对电子信息、课程和教师的看法。在既定的 "教师谈话 "类别中,"建立学生/教师关系 "类别最令学生难忘。令人鼓舞的是,61% 的学生表示他们 "更喜欢这门课程了",88% 的学生表示他们 "更喜欢教员了"。这表明,在电子通讯中使用积极的 "教师谈话 "是在教师和学生之间建立融洽关系的有效方法。
