In a structural equation analysis of data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) Laura McFarland, Elizabeth Murray and Sivanes Phillipson examine the relationship between student and teacher gender, qualities of the student– teacher relationship and students’ self-concept. While results show a negative effect of conflict with the teacher on the self-concept of both girls and boys, closeness with their teachers has a positive effect on girls’ self-concept only. The importance of strengthening the internal locus of control and reducing teaching anxiety to increase the efficacy of pre-service teachers is one of the main findings of a study reported by Burcu Senler.
