What is the nature and what is the role of trust between teacher and student in academic education at school? Providing a philosophically informed answer to these questions is the aim of this paper. In its first part, I present a relationship account of trust based on two fundamental assumptions: first, trust between teacher and student is essentially about them being in a trust relationship, and second, the reasons for trust are relationship dependent. The second part explores the role of trust by looking at two aspects of academic education at school: the student's acquisition of knowledge from the teacher's testimony and the student's development of epistemic confidence, the latter being a key constituent of competent epistemic agency. Drawing on findings from developmental psychology, I explain how trust is involved in successful academic education at school. My aim is to provide a detailed conception of trust in the teacher–student relationship, as well as a conclusive argument for the importance and the value of trust in academic education at school.

学校学术教育中师生之间的信任

师生信任在学校学术教育中的本质和作用是什么？为这些问题提供一个富有哲理的答案是本文的目的。在第一部分中，我提出了基于两个基本假设的信任关系说明：首先，教师和学生之间的信任本质上是关于他们处于信任关系中，其次，信任的原因是依赖于关系的。第二部分从学校学术教育的两个方面探讨信任的作用：学生从教师的证词中获得知识和学生的认识信心的发展，后者是胜任认识机构的关键组成部分。借鉴发展心理学的发现，我解释了信任如何参与学校成功的学术教育。我的目标是提供对师生关系信任的详细概念，以及对信任在学校学术教育中的重要性和价值的结论性论据。
