Abstract

On this paper, In this paper, I will propose the possibility of communication in relation of the student-teacher on philosophy of Martin Buber. According to Buber, the meaning of human is the one primary word is the combination I-Thou, the other primary word is the combination I-it. So there is the primary word between . The between is between student and teacher, also student and the world. How can we reduce the interval? How can we understand others? I think Buber can help the problem.

To real meeting, I think teacher try to have a chat with a student. In order to chatting, teacher has to be interest in student. Secondly, teacher answers and reaction served to gratify student s curiosity the course. Curiosity is a tube that enters Dialogue.
