Parasitism. A symbiotic relationship between two species in which one benefits and the other is harmed.

• commensalism. relationship between organisms where one organism benefits from the association while not harming the other.
• mutualism. relationship between organisms of different species, in which both organisms benefit from the association.
• parasitism.
• predator.
• prey.
• symbiosis.

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other is not affected. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which the parasitic species benefits while the host species is harmed.

There are five types of interactions between different species as listed below:

• Competition & Predation.
• Commensalism.
• Parasitism.
• Mutualism.
• Amensalism.

The most common forms of social interaction are exchange, competition, conflict, cooperation, and accommodation.

Examples are aspirin and motrin, alcohol and depressant, tranquilizer and painkiller. Synergistic interaction means that the effect of two chemicals taken together is greater than the sum of their separate effect at the same doses. An example is pesticide and fertilizer.

Instructional design strategies for online learning have typically considered three main types of interaction: learner-content interaction, learner-instructor interaction and learner-learner interaction (Moore, 1989).

Distractions Make Students Not Pay Attention In Class They always need something to do with their hands or feet to be able to focus on what you’re saying. For this group of students, try placing some items on the table for them to play with while you teach so they can concentrate better.

1. Students interact with the course content through engaging in such learning activities as reading, watching videos, using software programs, participating in simulations, exploring resources, and working on course assignments.

Teacher-Content In traditional higher education, teacher-content interaction occurs both when the teacher prepares a course and when he or she engages in research activities. At the rate at which knowledge is advancing, today’s teacher must also be up to speed with the latest research, on a regular basis.

Social interaction plays an important role in learning. Interacting with other people has proven to be quite effective in assisting the learner to organize their thoughts, reflect on their understanding, and find gaps in their reasoning.

When students are observing, doing, communicating, and reflecting, they are actively working with concepts and people. We describe these activities as interactions. Interaction is at the center of the teaching and learning process.

Teacher-Centered Methods of Instruction

• Direct Instruction (Low Tech)
• Flipped Classrooms (High Tech)
• Kinesthetic Learning (Low Tech)
• Differentiated Instruction (Low Tech)
• Inquiry-based Learning (High Tech)
• Expeditionary Learning (High Tech)
• Personalized Learning (High Tech)
• Game-based Learning (High Tech)

Family motivation, teachers support, student’s insistence, and free education are the most important elements of a successful educational program.

Teachers who have positive interaction with their students create classroom environments more helpful to learning and meet students’ developmental, emotional and educational needs.

Here are five strategies I have implemented in my classroom to help students improve their focus so they’re ready, willing and able to learn.

• Begin class with a mindful minute.
• Incorporate movement.
• Take sensory breaks.
• Build foundational cognitive skills.
• Create a growth mindset classroom.
• Helping students succeed.

Student interaction factors

1. Know your students. In addition to their names and experiences, determine their skills and knowledge.
2. Create a welcoming learning environment. Make students feel comfortable and important.
3. Set and communicate expectations.
4. Encourage students to interact positively with one another.

The relationship between student and teacher plays a large role in the trajectory of a child’s academic success and social development. Establishing a positive relationship with their teacher helps a student feel more comfortable and safe in their classroom environments.

Many qualities define a positive relationship and pave ways on how to create powerful student teacher relationships. These can be seen to include good communication, a safe learning environment and mutual respect, a positive and patient attitude, student equality and timely praise.

An improper relationship with a student can result in a criminal conviction, imprisonment and financial penalties. Even if the relationship is consensual, an improper sexual act between teacher and student is illegal. Are you being charged with an improper sexual relationship?

A 2007 YouGov survey of 2,200 adults said one in six knew of someone who had had an “intimate relationship” with a teacher while at school. Between 1991 and 2008 a total of 129 teachers were prosecuted for relationships with pupils, according to reports. Teaching unions report that incidents are actually “very rare”.

Can you date your high school teacher after you graduate? Yes, but it is a growing taboo, at least in America. It is to the point that some states have passed or considered laws forbidding teachers to have any sexual relations with students until they have graduated for at least a year, regardless of age.

But a new study shows that not only are attractive teachers rated more favorably by their students, but students might actually learn more from them. Attractive instructors were overall rated higher than unattractive ones, and the male attractive instructors were rated higher than the female ones.

Teacher student hugging is not right unless the teacher is an aunt or uncle of the student or a relative, but even then, not too much hugging in school.

I would not recommend that any teacher give hugs or back rubs. Many students in schools today have experienced inappropriate touching within their families, in their neighborhoods, or with same or older age peers.

Teachers love hugs, especially from one of their favorite students. If you hug a teacher, it shows them you care about them.

It’s okay to have a fun relationship with teachers. When they befriend you, they are easier to talk to, they understand their students more, and it can even make learning more fun. If they take the friendship too far that is wrong. It’s okay to have a teacher trying to be a student’s friend.
