Abstract

The teaching-learning process is not fragmented or dissociated from personal and affective relationships. In this domain, the relation between teacher-student is based on the building of the human being / citizen when relating cognitive processes with psychosocial practices in a dynamic time, in a multidimensional space, where the action occurs and under the influence of several quadrants not always perceived by all or , at least under the same archetypes. When this happens, it occurs in an individual mental picture with the purpose of assigning a meaning and guiding meaning to the behavior so that the subject returns to its state of equilibrium. With the present article it is our purpose to contribute to the development of research about the psychosocial relationship between Teacher-Student.
The data were obtained through two questionnaires intended for one teacher, and the other for public higher education students. Through the content analysis it was possible to elaborate reference frames of results treated using the NVivo 10 application, as well as formulas and routines implemented in Visual Basic.
It is concluded that there are discrepancies between what students and teachers value most, within the mental frame of perceptions of the performance of some in relation to others.
From the outset, discrepancies between what teachers and students value most within the mental picture of perceptions of the performance of some in relation to others. It was also possible to prove that the psychological contract, by its nature and characteristics, can be a stabilizing element in the teacher-student relation, by amplifying the degree of trust, the perception of justice, clarity in communication and affective commitment.
