高等教育中的師生互動對於學生學習表現有關鍵性影響，例如：學生的批判思考能力、大學滿意度，以及學生畢業率。過去研究也指出，師生互動對於學生的影響會因學生的族裔、性別、社經背景不同而有差異。本文系統性地回顧美國高等教育研究中的師生互動主題，以及高等教育師生互動對學生學習表現的影響，最後並提供臺灣關於高等教育師生互動的政策與實務性建議。

Research from the United States shows that student-faculty interaction in postsecondary education promotes college student outcomes, including critical thinking, credits earned, college satisfaction, and graduation. In addition, recent studies in the U.S. indicate that the relationship between student-faculty interaction and college student outcomes varies by race/ ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic background. This study systematically reviews extant studies on determinants of student-faculty interaction and the impact of student-faculty interaction on college student outcomes. This paper concludes with policy and practical implications for studying on student-faculty interaction in Taiwan.
