Abstract

ABSTRACT A substantial body of international research argues that the teacher-student relationship is crucial for students’ academic and social-emotional learning. However, microanalytic studies of teachers’ relational competence are rare. This article aims to contribute such a study by exploring teachers’ relational competence, drawing on Erving Goffman’s concept of face-work and focussing on how a particular teacher-student relationship is constructed in an ongoing processes of interaction. The paper presents in-depth analyses of teacher-student interaction using a video-recording of a classroom episode. In the episode, the student loses face as a result of a complex series of events. The teacher, through rapid action, helps the student repair face and manages to (re-)establish a respectful interaction ritual. Overall, the teacher’s relational competence is manifested by advanced and complex face-work. Our analyses indicate that relational competence is essentially a micro-social artistry – a lightning-quick ability to interact with students in the ‘here and now’. The article also discusses the pedagogical implications of these findings, for example, that it is crucial to include face-work in teacher education and training.
转眼间:从微观社会学的视角理解教师的关系能力
大量国际研究认为,师生关系对学生的学业和社会情感学习至关重要。然而,对教师关系能力的微观分析研究却很少。本文旨在通过探讨教师的关系能力,借鉴欧文·戈夫曼的面子工作概念,并关注在持续的互动过程中如何构建特定的师生关系,从而为这一研究做出贡献。本文利用一段课堂视频对师生互动进行了深入分析。在这一集里,由于一系列复杂的事件,学生丢了面子。教师通过快速的行动,帮助学生修复面子,并设法(重新)建立一种尊重的互动仪式。总体而言,教师的关系能力表现为高级而复杂的面部表情。我们的分析表明,关系能力本质上是一种微观社会艺术——一种与学生在“此时此地”快速互动的能力。文章还讨论了这些发现的教学意义,例如,在教师教育和培训中包括面部美容是至关重要的。
