Therefore, one of the issues raised curiosity was how to reconcile two fundamental aspects to be considered in the process of teaching and learning: the affection and authority. In this direction was made a survey in which through the use of semi-structured interviews with children and teachers from the Childhood Garden and 1st Cycle Basic Education, have tried to study student's behavior towards teaching: taking in account the dimensions of affection and authority issues in their performance; the role that teacher/educator must and/or should have as manager of authority and affection within the classroom. Data analysis was performed using the technique of content analysis. In main conclusion of the studies conducted, it was clear that students give as much importance to teacher's authority figure as to teacher affection figure, revealing that these two roles are needed in their learning process. Also the adults surveyed revealed that teacher's authority and affection figure are necessary to develop processes that requires responsibility and respect; arguing that we need both teaching and learning processes in order to achieve children, students and citizens proficiency.
