Assertive Relationship Between Teacher and Student: The Starting Point for Building Healthy Interpersonal Relationships

Interacting with others constitutes a routine that teachers undertake daily in their professional lives. Not a day passes without exchanging messages, emotions, ideas, and so forth, all of which leave an indelible mark on the construction of societal values. This brief study on assertiveness and its correlation with school tasks underscores the necessity of fostering trust, honing listening skills, promoting understanding, and, importantly, appreciating why respect is integral to perceiving individuals with all their potentialities. Essentially, the significance lies in assertive and cordial treatment as the guiding principle leading to the successful formation of individuals ready to participate in community spaces. A frequent activity accompanying assertive treatment is continuous reflection, representing another responsibility of the teacher in adhering to the ethics of care in the development of the students in their classrooms. This research aims to consider the assertive relationship in school as a determinant for education and, in general, to obtain improvements in the learning-teaching process, considering observation as a qualitative research methodology.
