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. 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.
