 Effects of Student-Teacher Congruence on Students’ Learning Performance: A Dyadic ApproachTzu-Ling Lai Social Science Quarterly, 2015, vol. 96, issue 5, 1424-1435 Abstract: type="main"> The concept of person-environment fit and how it influences performance have received increasing interest in the education field. In this study, a teacher's values orientation represents the environment and, therefore, we employed a dyadic fit relationship approach to examine whether the congruence of student-teacher values influences students’ learning performance. The research data were retrieved from a large database, the Taiwan Education Panel Survey. A dyadic profile similarity index method was conducted to measure student-teacher congruence. The results indicate that (a) students and teachers share a common education values structure; and (b) the values congruence between students and their teachers may influence students’ learning performance. The research findings imply that similarities in values between students and teachers could affect student learning. However, intrinsic education values fit and extrinsic education values fit seems to function differently in this relationship.
