Qualitative insights from interviews emphasize the role of positive connections in creating an encouraging learning environment. Academic performance data analysis further reveals a positive association between positive relationships and enhanced academic achievement. The study suggests practical strategies to cultivate supportive learning environments, contributing valuable insights to effective teaching practices in middle school science.
