On the relationship between students’ politeness and respect and teachers’ scoring in the classrooms

Abstract. Politeness and respect can have serious effects on student-student as well as student-teacher relationships. In spite of undeniable importance of the relationship between students’ politeness and respect with teachers’ scoring, this relationship has been taken for granted in the previous research. Therefore, the presents study intended to investigate the relationship between students’ respect and politeness and the scores they receive from teachers. Findings revealed that there was significant relationship among students of three different educational levels (BA, MA and Ph.D.) and teachers’ scoring in terms of students’ politeness and respect. Also, it was further revealed that there was significant relationship between male and female students and teachers’ scoring in terms of students’ politeness and respect.
