The Teacher/Social Relationship from a Social Interaction Perspective

This work began to be conceived in the postgraduate program in Social Sciences 3rd edition 2011/2013 at the University of Cape Verde. The choice of the topic of social relations in the teaching/learning process of students is justified by my concern with the nature of the educational relationship between teacher and student in compulsory primary education. This concern stems on the one hand from my own experience as a teacher in compulsory primary education and on the other hand will focus on a topic that has been little addressed in Cape Verde: social interactions in the classroom. The fact that I work professionally in the context of Compulsory Basic Education (EBO) allows me to realize that the quality of the educational relationship between teacher and student depends not only on these two but also on various factors including the didactic technical pedagogical institutional and above all social context. I am also interested in understanding the causes and effects of this in practice in order to be able to deconstruct it and contribute to this process of becoming aware of the need to find a different more satisfactory pedagogy for both pupils and teachers at school.
