Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of teachers’ temperament and method of teaching on the relationship between teacher-student relationships and learning engagement of students of Taraba State University, Jalingo. Design/Approach/Method The study adopted a cross-sectional survey of 400 undergraduate students. Utilising the Hayes Process macro, we tested the moderating impact of teacher temperament on the relationship between teacher-student relationships and learning engagement. Also, we tested the mediating impact of teaching methods on teacher-student relationships and learning engagement. Findings Based on the analyses, the study found that teachers’ temperament significantly moderates the impact of teacher-student relationships on learning engagement such that low and average teachers’ temperament strengthens the positive impact of teacher-student relationships on learning engagement. Also, the study found that teacher-student relationships have a significant impact on learning engagement. But teacher-student relationships have no significant impact on teaching methods. Originality/Value This is one of a few studies on the relationships between teachers’ temperament, teacher-student relationships, teaching methods and the impact on learning engagement in Taraba State University. It provides sound basis for educational managers and policy makers to provide quality teacher education in university setting.
