The aim of the study is to analyse the interaction styles of teachers in a selected secondary school in Poprad through the use of a standardised questionnaire adapted in Slovakia. To determine the interaction style, we will use an adaptation of the Teachers’ Interaction Style Questionnaire (Gavora et al., 2003). The research was carried out in the selected school, as work at this school includes the teaching of adolescents with the predominance of male students. The findings of the research show that the self-perception of the interaction style by the teachers themselves and their students is different. There is no significant relationship between the interaction style of the teacher and the student’s achievement and the frequency of student’s satisfaction with the teacher. In our opinion, the lack of relationship between teachers’ interaction style and students’ achievement and the frequency of students’ satisfaction with their relationship with teachers may be due to the nature of the school and its students. Effective management of such an environment is characterized by the need for increased pedagogical skills, so we also focus on the teacher’s interaction style, which we consider to be a key element of a quality pedagogical process. The study can also be the foundation for support programmes for teachers, for example in the context of their innovative training. The main purpose of the study is to compare the results between teachers’ own perception of their interaction style and students’ perception thereof. The research also included an analysis of the relationships of teachers’ interaction styles with students’ achievement and the frequency of students’ satisfaction with their relationship with their teachers. The main contributions include conducting a probe into the analysis of the interaction styles of the selected teachers, which may have practical benefits for them.
