    (PONTIFICIA UNIV JAVERIANA, FAC ESTUDIOS AMBIENTALES & RURALES, 2015) Zamora Poblete, Guillermo; Meza Pardo, Marisa; Cox Vial, Pilar
    Currently, teacher's authority rests not only in the school; it also needs to be built by the teacher and recognized by their students. The present study aims to characterize the teachers with more authority, based on the perspectives of high school students from different socioeconomic groups. Information is collected through a questionnaire administered to 936 young people from the city of Santiago de Chile. Results indicate that teachers recognized for their authority are those teaching a knowledge highly valued, they are respectful and proactive.
