Abstract

In the midst of the COVID-19 period, pupils' perceptions of their online/virtual lessons can be characterised in light of teacher-student engagement/interaction. The degree upon which communicative actions increase proximity and decrease bodily and/or mental interspace amidst instructors-pupils is referred to as teacher immediacy. This study investigated the teacher immediacy as a potent predictor of curiosity and study approaches. Standardized tools were used to measure constructs under study. An online survey was conducted on college students studying in non-residential private universities of Rajasthan. Findings revealed that teacher immediacy (relational, personal, and instructional) emerged as a significant predictor of curiosity, critical thinking, mental health, and study approaches.
