Teacher–Child Relationships
Captions available
The idea
Pianta's work describes teacher–child relationships along three dimensions: closeness, dependency, often in shy or new children, and conflict, marked by arguments and power struggles.
In practice
A clingy new pupil who stays at the teacher's desk each morning: a dependent relationship.
Where people slip
Close relationships go with prosocial, cooperative behaviour; conflicted ones with behaviour problems and teacher burnout.
