A Comparison of Teacher-Student Interpersonal Behavior in Secondary Science Classes in USA, Singapore and Australia.

This paper examines relationships between teachers and students. Data was gathered through administration of the 48-item version of the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI). At least 20 secondary science classes in three countries responded to the QTI indicating their perceptions of their science teachers' interpersonal behavior. Cross validation data is provided on the use of the QTI in the United States, Singapore, and Australia. Comparisons are made between the students' perceptions in each country.
