In the specific literature, we can find some specific features and qualities regarding teachers. Research has identified two distinct types of ideal teachers. Thus, students were asked to answer questions having in mind the "best teacher", while teachers were asked to complete the questionnaire referring to how they would like to teach in a perfect educational situation. This research analyzes the preferences of students and teachers about the ideal way of conducting the educational process. Preferences can be divided into two categories: teacher dominant and submissive teacher. Dominant teachers have cooperative behaviors, but, they also have leadership skills and they are very strict. Submissive teachers are close to students and focus more on their responsibility and freedom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
