This study examined the relationship among the factors influencing the academic
success of college students namely: student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal
behavior and teaching method. A survey was done on 155 respondents using three
instruments to measure the variables. The data gathered were analyzed using Multiple
Regression. Results showed that students perceived the cooperative-type of teacher as
more effective than the dominant-type. It was found that both subscale values of student’s
perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior namely dominance and cooperation
were predictive of student’s academic success. Also, students perceived the
student-centered method of teaching as more effective than the teacher-centered method.
Furthermore, it was revealed that only the student-centered method was predictive of
student’s academic success.
