THE ETHICAL ASPECTS OF TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS AND THEIR IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES: PERCEPTIONS IN THE KAZAKHSTANI CONTEXT

Abstract

As a researcher, I have always been intrigued by how ethical considerations in teacher-student relationships shape classroom dynamics. In the Kazakhstani context, these relationships are profoundly influenced by cultural and institutional norms. My research aims to explore the perceptions of both teachers and students regarding ethical considerations within this framework. To address this, I employed qualitative research methods, including surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings indicate that ethical principles such as respect, fairness, and transparency are essential to fostering positive educational outcomes. However, challenges like hierarchical power dynamics, favoritism, and cultural expectations often disrupt ethical behavior. My study concludes that fostering ethical teacher-student relationships is vital for improving educational outcomes and creating a healthier classroom environment.
