INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT’S NAME: CONCERN IN EDUCATION

Abstract

Dear Editor,
Communication between instructor and students is very important and is a key factor for the success of education. The concern regarding “instructor and student’s name†is very interesting. Cooper et al. concluded that “students can benefit from perceiving that instructors know their names and name tents could be a relatively easy way for students to think that instructors know their names [1].†We would like to share ideas and experiences on this topic. In the report by Cooper et al. [1], the results most likely reflect Western culture. Cooper et al. should have been more explicit about the cultural context and should have limited their conclusions accordingly.
