Abstract

The present study examines teacher behavior and student behavior based on mediating variables of learning motivation and shyness. The present study was conducted with descriptive-correlation method. 192 secondary school students were studied. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. To evaluate and measure the teacher's behavior component, 5 questions; student behavior, 4 questions, and learning motivation, 4 questions taken from Lee et al. (2021) with modifications were used by the researchers. In addition, 5 researcher-made questions have been used to investigate the lack of behavior component. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and partial least squares (PLS) technique were used to check the assumptions of the model. The results showed that the teacher's behavior affects the motivation to learn; student attitude and behavior had a significant effect (P<0.05). Learning motivation also had a significant effect on student behavior (P<0.05); Shyness did not have a significant effect on student behavior (P>0.05), although the value of the t coefficient of 1.83 for this path indicated that shyness is an effective and verifiable variable in student behavior. In general, the behavior of sports teachers can have an effect on the behavior of students, and these cases show that the performance of teachers' responsibilities in the psychological contract should be strengthened.
