The Importance of Student-Teacher Relationship in the Lives of BEd First Year Students in Sagaing University of Education Zin Nwe Than Students’ relationships with their teachers can be a crucially important influence, affecting students’ connection to school, motivation, academic performance, and psychosocial well-being (Fredriksen & Rbodes, 2014). The purpose of this study was to explore the importance of studentteacher relationship in the lives of BEd first year students in Sagaing University of Education (SUOE). Out of BEd first year students, 200 students were selected as participants for the study. Quantitative data, gathered through the Class Maps Survey (CMS) which was developed by Beth Doll and associates (2007, cited in Knoell, 2012), provided an understanding of the studentteacher relationship from the perspective of first year students in SUOE. In this questionnaire, 53 items were included and they were divided into 8 dimensions such as “Believing in me”, “My teacher”, “Taking charge”, “My classmates”, “Following the class rules”, “Talking with my parents”, “I worry that”, and “Kids in this class”. Based on the results of this study, it was found that male and female students rated that they often conducted eight dimensions of student-teacher relationship. Although there was no significant difference in only one dimension of studentteacher relationship, “Following the class rules”, there were significant differences in 7 dimensions between perceptions of male and female students. On the other hands, all students from different age levels perceived that they often conducted eight dimensions of student-teacher relationship. Similarly, all students who were studying different types of specialized subjects perceived that they often conducted eight dimensions of student-teacher relationship. However, there was no significant difference in all dimensions of student-teacher relationship perceived by students according to their age levels and different types of specialized subjects. All in all, the literature review and results of this study found that teacher-student relationships are crucial to student success. 2020-07-01 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000005511 https://meral.edu.mm/records/5511
