Teacher-Student Social Interaction as a Component of Student Achievement - An Analysis of Teacher Evaluation from the Students' Perspective
Abstract
The text presents a case study. The case study is used from the author's practice.
The evaluation of social interaction was carried out within the project of working with a specific classroom where there is an extremely high number of children with behavioural difficulties. There is a lot of noise, pupils find it difficult to follow school rules and classroom rules, and most teachers do not like to teach there.
As part of a comprehensive program of work with the class, an evaluation of teachers from the pupils' perspective was carried out. Based on the evaluation a follow-up analysis of the typical manifestations of a "popular teacher" and an "unpopular teacher" was carried out.
This analysis pinpointed the source of the pupils' problematic behaviour, and it served as the basis for suggesting changes to improve the situation.
