Research shows that the quality of the teacher-student relationship is crucial to students’ learning and development, especially for students in need of special support. In Scandinavia, the concept of relational competence is increasingly used to define a teacher’s ability to build supportive relationships. In this article, relational competence is discussed in the context of special education. The article investigastes how relational competence is described in the curriculum for special education teacher training. Syllabuses (n = 142) at all Swedish universities that have programs in special education (n = 11) are included in the analysis, with a focus on the learning goals (n = 857). Content analysis provides both an overall and a more in-depth picture. The first study shows that there are relatively few learning goals relevant to relational competence. For example, the key concepts “relation,” “participation,” and “empathy” are very rarely used, and “care” and “trust” are completely absent. The second study shows, among other findings, that relevant content mainly concerns the special educator as a qualified interlocutor vis-a-vis colleagues. Hardly any goals include teacher–student or teacher–parent relationships. On the whole, the results indicate that relational competence is a neglected topic in this discourse, which also has a fairly narrow focus. The implications of this lack are discussed, and suggestions for improvement are added.

Student ratings of instruction were correlated with examination performance in 72 sections of seven courses. In two of the courses, students had been randomly assigned to sections. The pattern of correlations across the courses indicated that the global ratings of teacher effectiveness and of the value of the course to students were most highly related to mean exam performance (12 out of 24 product-moment and partial correlations were 58 or above). Ratings of course objectives and organizations, and of the quality of lectures were also fairly well correlated with achievement. Ratings of other aspects of instruction, such as the teacher-student relationship or the difficulty/workload of the course, were not highly related to achievement scores.

Background: Within the 3Cs (closeness, commitment, and complementarity) theoretical framework of the quality of two-person relationships, a coach–athlete relationship quality questionnaire (CART-Q) was developed and validated to assess the nature of the coach–athlete relationship. In this study, a modified version of the CART-Q for physical education (PE) was adapted to assess the teacher–student relationship quality in the PE context in Turkey and Kuwait. The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial validity of the teacher–student relationship quality questionnaire (TSRQ-PE) within a sample of Turkish and Kuwaiti physical education teachers. Methods: Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was used to test the measurement of cultural invariance between these two groups. A total of 175 teachers from Turkey (n = 73) and Kuwait (n = 102) completed the TPRQ-PE. Results: MGCFA supported the factorial validity of the TPRQ-PE in a three first-order factor model across the two countries. Overall, these results add evidence to the psychometric properties of the TPRQ-PE and suggest that this instrument can be applied to measure the quality of the teacher–student relationship within Turkey and Kuwait, although caution may be required when applied to drawing comparisons between these two counties. Conclusions: The results of the present study could help physical educators and researchers in this field to understand the reasons and methods that lead to a quality teacher–student relationship.

Research demonstrates that the teacher-student relationship is essential for students with special educational needs. This article investigates how pre-service special educators (n = 74) perceive teachers’ relational competence, as manifested in their relations with students exhibiting behavioral difficulties. The data comprises educators’ written analyses of teacher-student interactions simulated through digital video, both before and after being provided with explicit criteria on teachers’ relational competence. The findings reveal a change in the educators’ perceptions as they shift from a focus on teaching strategies and the learning environment toward an awareness of teacher-student interaction, and from the teacher’s management of problematic student behavior toward an acknowledgment of the communicative and socio-emotional challenges in contexts involving students with different needs.

The work described in this chapter tackles learning and communication between cognitive artificial agents and trying to meet the following issue: Is it possible to find an equivalency between a communicative process and a learning process, to model and implement communication and learning as dual aspects of the same cognitive mechanism? Therefore, focus is on dialog as the only way for agents to acquire and revise knowledge, as it often happens in natural situations. This particular chapter concentrates on a learning situation where two agents, in a “teacher/student” relationship, exchange information with a learning incentive (on behalf of the student), according to a Socratic dialog. The teacher acts as the reliable knowledge source, and the student is an agent whose goal is to increase its knowledge base in an optimal way. The chapter first defines the nature of the addressed agents, the types of relation they maintain, and the structure and contents of their knowledge base. It emphasizes the symmetry between the interaction and knowledge management, by highlighting knowledge “repair” procedures launched through dialogic means. These procedures deal with misunderstanding, as a situation in which the student is unable to integrate new knowledge directly, and discussion, related to paradoxical information handling. The chapter describes learning goals and strategies, student and teacher roles within both dialog and knowledge handling. It also provides solutions for problems encountered by agents. A general architecture is then established and a comment on a part of the theory implementation is given. The conclusion is about the achievements carried out and the potential improvement of this work.

Sentiment analysis of online and offline integrated teaching in universities is being paid more and more attention. Many universities have carried out online teaching activities. However, due to the lack of face-to-face teaching, the lack of emotional communication is the key problem affecting the quality of online teaching. We analyze the relations from the perspectives of the change of teaching mode, the reconstruction of teacher-student relationship, and the transmission of emotional attitude of teachers and students in this paper. Then based on the Bayesian network (BN) theory, the satisfaction of online teaching can be evaluated from the aspects of emotion analysis, learning investment, and teaching interaction. Further, some suggestions are put forward to improve the satisfaction of online teaching.

This paper explores teachers’ and students’ perceptions of one-to-one pedagogy, in the context of tertiary vocal and instrumental tuition. Teachers and students at one Australian conservatoire participated in interviews and focus groups that explored their experiences and perceptions on the nature, value, effectiveness and challenges of one-to-one learning and teaching. Four key themes emerged: customising teaching to the learner, the teacher–student relationship, negotiating issues of student dependency versus self-sufficiency, and situating one-to-one in a broader institutional context. Aside from an undisputed view that one-to-one is essential to students’ learning and development, findings indicate diverse perceptions, including discrepancies between intentions of teachers and their pedagogical practice, and between teacher practice and student expectations. By drawing on voices ‘from the inside’ to characterise one-to-one practice, the study contributes to evidence-based research about learning and teaching in the conservatoire environment.

RESUMEN: El ensayo pretende difundir la importancia sobre conocer los estilos de aprendizaje que se tienen en las aulas, de cómo mejorar nuestras habilidades de comunicación y que esta sea asertiva; es decir, entender mejor a los alumnos, la manera en qué ellos aprenden y que lo presentado en clase sea recibido favorablemente al receptor por el canal de percepción adecuado. Se propone como estrategia de carácter novedoso a la Programación Neurolingüística (PNL) en nuestras aulas. PNL es una herramienta útil para el docente, ya que brinda resultados casi inmediatos en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, debido a que es un enfoque práctico, dinámico y funcional, que además permite poder realizar actividades exitosas, entretenidas y motivadoras. Con mayor alcance toda vez que permite abarcar a los tres tipos de estilos de aprendizaje (percepciones sensoriales) que surgen a partir de las investigaciones de Richard Bandler y John Grinder (creadores) en 1985. En lo que al lenguaje corporal se refiere, se sugieren movimientos corporales que deben evitarse en clase para tener una mejor relación alumno-maestro, a modo de crear un ambiente académico armónico y agradable, y que el alumno se sienta con la confianza suficiente de acercarse al profesor y aclarar sus dudas en clase, en lugar de quedarse con ellas durante todo el parcial, semestre o de por vida. Finalmente, recordar que no todos los alumnos aprenden de la misma manera, ni a como los maestros lo hacemos, sino es cuestión de buscar el punto medio para que la información dada en clase llegue eficientemente a través de los canales de percepción apropiados. Además de que se aprenda a leer el lenguaje corporal de nuestros educandos e identificar casi de manera inmediata si realmente están entendiendo, si los estamos aburriendo, si definitivamente no tenemos su atención y por eso su atención está dispersa. Al estar consciente de que ésta herramienta nos va a permitir tener un mejor acercamiento, podremos tener clases más significativas, con mayor aprovechamiento de los tiempos y de los recursos que tengamos por ende, poder cumplir en casi su totalidad con lo planteado y con los objetivos de aprendizaje propuestos en nuestros planes de trabajo. ABSTRACT: This essay pretends to spread the importance of being aware of the different learning styles that we can find in our classrooms, knowing how to improve our communication skills, and how to become assertive in our communication to understand our students better, know the manner they learn, and make it possible that what is presented in class can favorably be perceived by the receiver through the appropriate perception channel. This essays suggests to apply Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) in our classrooms, as an innovative strategy. NLP is a useful tool for teachers as it provides almost immediate results in the teaching-learning process due to its practical, dynamic and functional approach, which also allows to perform successful, entertaining and motivating activities. With extended range because it covers the three types of learning styles (sensory perceptions) arising from the research done by Richard Bandler and John Grinder (creators) in 1985. Regarding the body language, it is suggested to avoid some body movements in class in order to have a better teacher-student relationship, and so creating a harmonic and pleasant academic environment that makes students feel confident enough to approach to the teacher and ask questions concerning the class or doubts they may have, instead of not doing so and keeping those questions with themselves during the partial, the semester, or even for the rest of their whole life. Finally we must remember that not all students learn in the same way or as the teachers do. It´s just a matter of searching the midpoint to make that the information provided in class reaches the students efficiently by using the proper perception channels. Furthermore, the teachers must learn to read the body language of their students to identify almost immediately if the students are really understanding or not, if the teacher is making the students get bored, or if the teacher definitely does not have the students´ attention and so their attention is scattered. Being aware that this tool will allow us have a better approach to our students, we can conclude that our classes will be more meaningful, with a better use of the time and the resources, and so, we will accomplish almost entirely the learning goals proposed in our work plans.

En las instituciones educativas de Ecuador, es imprescindible trabajar por el mejoramiento de la calidad del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En esta presentación, se persigue como objetivo exponer los elementos necesarios que permiten demostrar la racionalidad de alternativas para propiciar una preparación escalonada de los docentes, que puede comenzar con el abordaje teórico de una problemática en una reunión metodológica, la ejecución de una clase metodológica que pude instruir o demostrar a los profesores el “cómo hacerlo”, seguidamente se puede efectuar una clase abierta que comprueba de forma colectiva en qué medida el profesor pudo apropiarse de lo abordado con anterioridad y finalmente se realizan los controles a clase donde el jefe de la instancia verifica si se ha perfeccionado la actuación profesoral de su claustro y por tanto expresa la magnitud en que ese objetivo fue logrado. Se utilizaron métodos de la investigación científica como el histórico-lógico, análisis- síntesis con el objetivo de razonar y extractar los presupuestos teóricos relacionados con las necesidades de capacitación de los docentes. Como impacto de esta propuesta, se expone que durante la aplicación del diagnóstico fino debe propiciarse un equilibrio entre la tecnología "básica" (el arte de la relación docente-alumno y la exploración precisa, de manera que el profesor actúe como “modelo” a imitar por sus alumnos y por lo tanto reconocer las particularidades que ofrece en cada asignatura. PALABRAS CLAVE: clases; diagnóstico; metodológicas; sistema. METHODOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVES TO CONTRIBUTE TO TEACHER TRAINING ABSTRACT In the educational institutions of Ecuador, it is essential to work for the improvement of the quality of the teaching-learning process. In this presentation, the objective is to expose the necessary elements that allow demonstrating the rationality of alternatives to promote a phased preparation of teachers, which can begin with the theoretical approach of a problem in a methodological meeting, the execution of a methodological class that I was able to instruct or demonstrate to the teachers the "how to do it", then an open class can be held that collectively checks to what extent the teacher was able to appropriate what was previously addressed and finally the class controls are carried out where the head of the instance verifies if the teaching performance of its cloister has been perfected and therefore expresses the magnitude in which that objective was achieved. Scientific research methods such as historical-logical, analysis-synthesis were used with the objective of reasoning and extracting theoretical budgets related to the training needs of teachers. As an impact of this proposal, it is stated that during the application of the fine diagnosis, a balance between "basic" technology (the art of the teacher-student relationship and the precise exploration should be promoted, so that the teacher acts as a "model" to imitate by their students and therefore recognize the particularities offered in each subject. KEYWORDS: classes; diagnosis; methodological; system.
