ABSTRACT

The rapid advancement and integration of technology in education have profoundly impacted teacher-student relationships. This paper explores the multifaceted effects of technology on these relationships, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges that have emerged. Technology has transformed traditional dynamics by flattening hierarchical structures, enabling more personal and collaborative interactions. However, it has also introduced risks such as social isolation, dependency, and ethical dilemmas. As educators navigate this evolving landscape, understanding the balance between leveraging technology for connection and maintaining the human elements of teaching is essential for fostering positive and effective teacher-student relationships.
