| Popis | This paper focuses on classroom power relationships and examines how these are created during the communication process between the teacher and the pupils. We define power as the ability to influence actions of a person or a whole group of other people (McCroskey et al., 2006). This definition encompasses actions whose goal could be both to change someone else’s behaviour or to strengthen it and keep it on the same level. In this sense, power is the essence of teaching because according to Richmond and Roach (1992) being a teacher always involves using of interpersonal power and the quintessence of teaching lies in influencing of students. |
