Abstract

The purpose of this study was understanding the types of teacher-student interactions based on the idea of education as an asymmetrical interaction. The research method was classroom study which was conducted in a large boy’s elementary school, with sixty classrooms. Firstly 5 third grade classes were selected based on purposeful sampling strategy of available samples. The data were collected through observation and video recording of the classes. The identified teacher-student interactions included caring, managerial, participatory, destructive, and functional interaction regarding the society. The caring and participatory classrooms interactions were aligned with the Bagheri’s theory of education. There is a need for coordinated changes between the goals of teachers, their professional skills and science, schools, community, and other elements of the education system. Inappropriate physical environment, some traditional beliefs of teachers, parents and school officials, students and inadequate professional skills of teachers and methodology-oriented curriculum are the main obstacles to the interaction of human theory in class.
