Gemma was interested in exploring how teachers established and maintained effective interpersonal teacher-student relationships and positive rapport online since these are known to positively impact student learning and learning experiences (Mseleku, 2020).<\/p>\n<p>The study built on Murphy and Rodr\u00edguez-Manzanares\u2019 research into rapport-building in Distance Education and utilised categories and sub-categories of rapport identified via their own research (2012) and in the general literature. The first study phase comprised a structured, online research questionnaire for 36 participants of the target population designed to quantitatively answer the first research question and to gather qualitative and quantitative data for the third. Phase 2 employed in-depth interviews with three selected participants from Phase 1 in order to gather further qualitative data to answer the second and third research questions.<\/p>\n<p>After data analysis, three themes emerged as most significant when considering teacher experiences of building rapport with students online: online communication in online sessions; teacher\u2013student communication outside online sessions; and teacher availability and accessibility. The findings suggest that if online sessions could primarily be used as opportunities to meet learning outcomes, then the necessary and conscious task of building teacher\u2013student rapport might be more effective in frequent 1\u20131 tutorials with students or during any available pre- and post-online session time. Gemma hopes to build on this work in her continuing EdD studies at the IoE.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3930\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/10\/Gemma-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A research paper titled \u2018A sequential explanatory mixed-methods study of UK higher education teacher experiences when building rapport with international students online\u2019 by Gemma Peacock has recently been published in&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#101;&#100;&#117;&#99;&#97;&#116;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#47;&#50;&#48;&#50;&#50;&#47;&#49;&#48;&#47;&#48;&#53;&#47;&#110;&#101;&#119;&#115;&#45;&#103;&#101;&#109;&#109;&#97;&#45;&#112;&#101;&#97;&#99;&#111;&#99;&#107;&#45;&#97;&#110;&#45;&#101;&#100;&#100;&#45;&#115;&#116;&#117;&#100;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#45;&#97;&#116;&#45;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#117;&#110;&#105;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#115;&#105;&#116;&#121;&#45;&#111;&#102;&#45;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115;&#45;&#105;&#110;&#115;&#116;&#105;&#116;&#117;&#116;&#101;&#45;&#111;&#102;&#45;&#101;&#100;&#117;&#99;&#97;&#116;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#45;&#112;&#117;&#98;&#108;&#105;&#115;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#45;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#45;&#112;&#97;&#112;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#111;&#110;&#45;&#117;&#107;&#45;&#104;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#101;&#100;&#117;&#99;&#97;&#116;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#45;&#116;&#101;&#97;&#99;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#101;&#120;&#112;&#101;&#114;&#105;&#101;&#110;&#99;&#101;&#115;&#45;&#119;&#104;&#101;&#110;&#45;&#98;&#117;&#105;&#108;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#45;&#114;&#97;&#112;&#112;&#111;&#114;&#116;&#45;&#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#45;&#105;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":354,"featured_media":3929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news-blog-posts"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NEWS - Gemma Peacock (an EdD student at the University of Reading\u2019s Institute of Education) publishes her research paper on UK higher education teacher experiences when building rapport with international students online &#183;
