Learners' perceptions and experiences of respect in educator-learner relationships
Abstract
The aim of the study was to explore and describe secondary school learners’ perceptions and experiences of respect in
educator-learner relationships within a high-risk South African neighbourhood context. A qualitative research design was
used in this study. The 15 participants were high school learners (females = 33%, age range 17 to 21 years). Data on how
learners perceive and experience respect in educator-learner relationships were gathered utilising written assignments, and
through the application of the World Café technique. Thematic analysis was used to identify relevant relationship themes
for learners: mutuality, various behavioural practices and emotional attitudes. All school communities should promote
relational well-being practices amongst educators and learners.
