| dc.description.abstract | This study focuses on the faculty-student relationship of Chittagong. Students and faculties always interacted with each other at both inside classrooms and outside through mail & office hours. Social networking sites like facebook have given a new scope of how they interact. The problem investigated in this research was most of the students’ blame that faculties discriminate among students based on the student’s facebook profile. Faculties blame facebook to create false expectations in the classroom behavior. The students also say that facebook communication can create mistrust among faculty and student as well. The prime objective of this research was to verify this common belief by comparing the answers of faculty & students of universities of chittagong . This research is significant to find out how this interaction is affecting both of them. Being students of an international university in chittagong gives us the credibility to conduct the research. This paper argues that that faculty should not connect any current student on facebook because it can create mistrust, biases and discrimination between faculty and students however; they can connect a student in facebook, when the student is no longer taking class from the professor because at that time there remains no such risk. In order to verify the argument, this study employed both qualitative and descriptive method of data collection to measure the relationship of between the independent variable facebook and dependent variable faculty-student relationship. Both primary and secondary tools of data collection are used in this research. One on one interviews are used as primary sources to collect data. For secondary data books, journals, reports, newspaper and other relevant document has been studied and analyzed to compare the recent result with previous studies. Some secondary case studies have also been analyzed to understand the phenomenon. As there are some set boundaries, rules and regulations for four of us as students to approach towards faculties, our wordings during the interviews were flexible. This made the data collection process difficult as well, because direct questions regarding their biasness towards students could not be asked. We rephrased the wordings based on the faculty to make sure that we don’t harm them with inappropriate word choice. This paper explains how facebook use affects faculty student relationship. The result suggested that connecting the students who are enrolled in class creates trust issues, discrimination and false expectation in Chittagong. However, connecting to graduated students open the platform to have stronger relationship. | en_US |
