Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to analyse interpersonal relationships within the educational community based on teachers’ perceptions of teacher– student, teacher–teacher, teacher–family and teacher–management relationships. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and descriptive scope, in accordance with Hernández & Mendoza (2018). The sample consisted of 35 teachers from different educational institutions, selected using non- probabilistic convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire comprising 12 items was used to collect the data, organised into four categories of analysis corresponding to the relational pairs. The instrument employed a five-point ordinal scale, which enabled the identification of the participants’ level of agreement with various statements relating to communication, trust, collaboration and institutional support. The results showed that teachers’ opinions were largely favourable, with a significant number of responses indicating ‘agree’ and ‘strongly agree’. Of particular note were the interactions between teachers and pupils, as well as amongst teachers themselves, which were characterised by high levels of trust, motivation, cooperation and educational exchange. However, certain shortcomings were noted in the relationships between teachers and families, as well as between teachers and school leaders, particularly with regard to communication, participation and recognition by the institution.
