Abstract
The teacher-student interaction is an important component in both face-to-face and distance education. In online teaching and learning, where students are physically separated from their friends, teachers, and school environment, the teacher-student interaction gains even more importance. While this interaction is important, it is also difficult to maintain. Teachers who can establish very good interactions in face-to-face education may have difficulties in online teaching. For this reason, it is necessary to educate both teachers and pre-service teachers on teacher-student interactions in online teaching. In this study, 27 articles on student-teacher interactions in online teaching in the Web of Science database were examined. As a result, the factors associated with student-teacher interactions in online teaching were determined. In addition, a guide is included in the study so that teachers can create a better interaction with students in online teaching. Finally, suggestions on what can be done about online teacher-student interactions in teacher education are presented.
