A critique of Martin Buber’s dialogical and its implications in the realm of children’s education

educators criticized this concept and said that the teaching process should be led by the teacher alone and students cannot and shouldn’t play a role in this process. Buber pointed out that there must be a safe distance between teacher and student to maintain the educational relationship; meanwhile, introduced the doctrine of “Education based on Dialogue”. In other words, he calls the educational relationship as a kind of “I – Thou relationship”. Now the question is that while Buber knows the “I – Thou relationship” as a mutualrelationship, how can he interpret the relationship between teacher and student as a “I – Thou relationship” and at the same time he says it is one-sided inclusive.
