In the classroom, teachers and students are constantly making decisions and choosing what will mark their mutual interaction to a greater or lesser extent, as well as their existence and subjective deployment. This article theoretically reviews and explores state-of-the-art literature on the interaction process between students and teachers, reflecting on decision-making in an analytical and hermeneutic exercise. As a result, we found more outstanding production on the subject in elementary and high school education than in university; studies emphasize the importance of teacher-student interaction to enhance various aspects of development, such as learning, cognitive and attitudinal skills, and the protective function it fulfills regarding bullying and suicide. In addition, existential implications are almost absent in the reviewed studies, and there are no references to the consequences of the students’ decisions for teachers. In conclusion, it is vital to pay more attention to teacher-student interaction in the university context; relate teacher-student decision-making to trans-individual interactions; explore that interaction from the students’ perspective; and identify their influence on teachers’ decision-making.
