Abstract:
The paradigmatic representation of the concept of pedagogical authority is validated in the present study through the set of theories which explains the starting point in the operationalization of the concept, in conjunction with the establishment of correlations regarding the personal development of students, capitalizing on various areas of human knowledge: the theory of self-efficacy (Albert Bandura); the theory of obedience to authority (Stanley Milgram); behavioral and conditioning theory - beyond freedom and dignity (B. F. Skinner).
