Your paper and the meaning of your research in that specific socio-cultural context as well as the methodological approach are very enriching. The importance you assigned to the role of positive feedback in children’s social interaction and the focus on children’s perceptions and children’s voices is a very promising approach for further development.
Thinking on further development, allow me to suggest the possibility of taking into account the role of the teacher and how he/she mediates social interactions during school learning activities.
Your research might lead to some kind of teacher education by giving them the opportunity to deepen their awareness of their role in children's self- and interpersonal perception. Trying to produce some kind of positive changes in the pattern of teacher's interaction with their learners would be a nice way to develop the positive change your intervention produced in children’s perceptions and interactions.

Hallo
I agree that teacher interaction with students during school learning activities enhance students’ capabilities to behave positively in the society. Teacher closeness will help the students to augment their 'current state of knowledge’ and so to build their self- and interpersonal perception. This interaction will evade the deficiency in the previous evidences of literature; enable him to conduct in-depth exploration of further areas relating to children development, lift their voices and to seek workable solutions of children problems through mediating the influence of intravenous variables.
Hi Maria,
This looks to be an interesting topic. I am a little curious though in one sense. Has there ever been a counter claim that teachers do not affect the perceptions or affective development of the students they teach? Or are you suggesting that there are degrees to which this happens? Kevin.
Hello Maria. I came across an interesting research proposal a couple of years ago related to this area that aimed to 'film' teacher and student interactions in the classroom in order to analyse how shared interaction generated perceptions within the classroom. The plan was to get teachers and students to reflect on how this interaction generated perceptions of learning. But the idea of filming interaction in the classroom can seem a bit Orwellian to some!
