調查顯示 叛逆青春期良師陪伴收益多

Being taught by a good teacher between 10 and 11 can stop children turning into bad-tempered teenagers, a study has found.

一項研究發現，在10至11歲之間的時候有一位好老師來教育，可以防止孩子們成爲暴躁的青少年。

Teens who had good relationships with their tutors were found to be 38 per cent less aggressive.

調查發現，與老師形成良好關係的學生遇到叛逆青春期的機率要低38%。

They were also found to be 18 per cent more 'pro-social' – co-operative or altruistic - compared to teenagers who had mixed feelings or negative towards their teachers.

另外，與老師關係一般或不好的學生相比，這些學生有18%的機率更具親和力——在合作以及幫助他人方面表現更好。

The impact of having a positive relationship between a teacher and a student in the formative pre-teen years can last way beyond when they have left their class.

形成於青少年時期之前的學生和老師之間的這種積極關係的影響，在學生步入青少年之後仍然會持續下去。

The teens were 10 per cent less aggressive two years later, and 9 per cent less aggressive four years later.

2年之後，這些學生比其他人不易動怒的機率仍然達到了10%，4年後是9%。

The students were assessed with survey questions such as: 'In moments when someone was sad or in pain, how often have you tried to comfort them?' for pro-social behaviour, and 'How often have you hit, kicked or bitten other people?' for aggressive behaviour.

這份研究是通過一些調查問題來對學生進行評估的。例如：用“當某人痛苦或悲傷的時候，你有嘗試過安慰他們嗎？”這個問題來評估親社會的行爲。用“你曾經打過、踢過或者咬過別人嗎？”這個問題來評估攻擊性行爲。

Having a good teacher had more impact on pupil behaviour than other interventions such as anti-bullying programmes and counselling.

相較於其他干預措施——反欺凌計劃和心理輔導——而言，一位良師帶來的影響更大。

The study's lead author Dr Ingrid said: 'Teachers play an important role in the development of children. Students who feel supported tend to be less aggressive and more prosocial, and we now have evidence that this is the case from preschool right through to adolescence.

這份研究的首席作者英格麗德教授說道：“教師對兒童的成長起着至關重要的作用，那些感覺自己和老師關係好的學生往往會更具親和力，對外界更友善。而現在我們有證據表明，從幼兒期到青春期都是如此。”
