A new study from researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Kentucky found that high school students students may be more inclined to learn life-changing behaviors from someone they know and trust. “The actual person teaching makes a difference in how students learn. When there is a good relationship, that really facilitates learning and motivation. And we found that in almost every area, the regular classroom teachers were more effective, they were better,” said Eric Anderman, co-author of the study and professor of educational psychology at Ohio State. Better training of teachers may be more productive than bringing in outside experts.
