The quality of interaction in classrooms, the teacher-student relationship and relations between students

Summary/Abstract: Education is a complex phenomenon involving two subjects, the educated and the educating, working together for the same purpose: the full development of the educated person. In order to count and carry out the educational act, the two subjects need to meet and establish a constructive relationship between them. Living difficulties in the classroom affect all the "players" in the learning space. Interaction creates a physical shock in the teaching operation, depending on the institution, colleagues and students. Interaction conflicts are the most common among teachers, and it is also the main factor in the devaluation of commitment and the satisfaction of their work. In social interactions one can see, distinguish or follow the everyday life in the social world, emphasizing the explicit and hidden discourse in the relationships between individuals in a certain place. From this perspective, the intention of interactive behavior of young people and social groups in the context of education could be revealed; taking into account physical and social space. In order to understand what is happening in the classroom, we need a socio-cultural approach. This analysis may be useful to understand the meaning a student or a teacher can give to an interaction in the classroom and the role it plays in conducting a course. We will emphasize the common influence of the interaction; self-efficacy and self-regulation in the classroom; interaction as learning; teacher-student interaction; teacher’s expectations; student-student interaction; types of interaction in the classroom (individualistic, competitive and cooperative); mentoring, cooperative learning and collaboration; behavioral problems regarding the interaction inside the classroom; and besides that, we will go through a series of previous studies on teacher-student interaction.
