Abstract
Background:It is absolutely essential to know the negative impacts incivility in students and educators may have on the creation of a suitable teaching-learning environment. Better education of to-be nurses would improve their service to patients and society in the future. There has been no research in Iran so far on this particular case. This study examines the experiences of uncivil or disrespectful behavior from the standpoint of educators and students.Methodology & Methods:A quantitative content analysis was carried out to study manuscripts presented in the form of open questionnaires. To this end, data produced from detailed answers from 640 students and educators were inputted into the computer and line-by-line and sentence-by-sentence coding was done. After that, implied codes were added, the categories were revealed, and finally counting frequency of code in categories was carried out.Results:The most important categories that students considered uncivil behavior were waste of class time, distraction, incompetence in managing the class, discrimination, bad assessment, insult and threat on behalf of the educators. In contrast to their view, what the educators thought of as disrespectful included class disorder, humiliation of other students, irregular attendance of classes, bad sitting postures, non-observance of Islamic standards, and coming unprepared to the class by students.Conclusion:From the viewpoint of students and educators, incivility is present towards one another in the academic environment. This study determines the most important forms of the same from their stand point. Since disrespectful and threatening behavior has a significant impact on learning environment, we highly recommend a thorough examination to be carried out in future studies on the origin and the managing strategies of such behaviors.

Summary
Teaching is beyond mere transfer of information or skill development. It is an evolutionary process for both trainer and trainee. Throughout the process, sometimes some problems called disrespectful behavior or incivilities arise that disrupt the interaction between student and educator. In such cases, the educator should be familiar with the problem and is responsible for solving it individually or cooperatively. Some points are worthy of mention (Hubbell & Hubbell, 2010), incivility in nursing training refers to the indiscriminate destructive behavior which brings about physical or mental distress for those involved in the teaching process. This study examines the experiences of uncivil or disrespectful behavior from the standpoint of educators and students
