Implications of Transactional Processes in Classrooms for Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders

Pages 32-37 | Published online: 09 Sep 2014
 

Abstract

Ample evidence suggests that teachers influence their students' behavior; mounting evidence also suggests that students exert influence on their teachers' behavior. This paper outlines the transactional theory of social interactions and discusses the importance of understanding reciprocal relationships between teacher and student behavior. Review of several current published studies of teacher-student interactions serves as the basis for this discussion. Both implications and applications of transactional processes in classrooms are presented.
