Abstract

Problem Statement: The desire to be treated fairly is a common human preference. Hence justice can be regarded as an important concern in everyday life including educational settings. There are many studies aiming at determining students' perceptions of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice pertaining to educational settings. The findings of these studies indicate that students' perceptions of justice are of great importance with regard to many variables contributing to the efficacy and productivity of the education-instruction activities, such as improving a productive teacher-student communication, and enhancing student attention, motivation and achievement.
