Education is an implementation between the interaction of teachers and students. This thesis is based on the theory of ecological niche, and analyzes the education case of interaction process by the interdisciplinary perspective. Niche is a key point of modern ecology theory, and the school can be regarded as an education ecological system, so we analyze it by the ecology theory. Based on the definition of ecology, the ecosystem consists of inorganic environment and biological communities. Because of the specificity of the school ecosystem, inorganic environment is changed into environmental factors, which will explain the niche changing of the teachers and students populations well in this study.On the presentation of environmental factors in school Ecosystem, firstly, in order to present an image of the school education system as a whole, the environment of E has been described in this thesis. Then, the office environment for teachers is showed in the view, analyzing environmental conditions of the teachers. Finally, the specific environment of class Z grade seven, which is a case in the thesis, is described microcosmically.From angle of the function of the components in school ecosystem, the teachers and students, as different species in school ecology system, can be regarded as producers and consumers in the ecosystem severally. Head teacher, main-subject teachers, small-subject teachers and non-examination-subject teachers in the teacher population are four sub-populations of teachers, according to their occupied in this study, and their actual weights in class Z are discussed separately. Top students, class leaders, and talented students in the student population are different section for class, accounting for their main ecological factors. The male/female sub-populations of students are highlighted in this special case because of their ecological factors.Finally, the thesis goes back to the internal mechanism of school eco-system that causes changes in the niche, based on the events leading role factors of three aspects including material cycle, energy flow and information transfer. The school week of every class and campus security emergency are specified as material cycle. Parents meeting and the art festival reflect the schools in energy flow between various groups. And occasional event reflects information transfer through the response of school and various groups. It not only reflects the social information of school education system, but also describes the various groups within school and the trade-off among the groups. Although that young people become excited easily is fortuitous, it also reflects the inevitability trend of school community as such occurrences.Teacher-student interaction is a concerning issue of education, and this research use the theory out of education to discuss the educational problem, which seems brusque and crude, but it is also a result of research attempt. We see some difference by the inter-disciplinary perspective, while microscopic case studies of empirical studies let this thesis in a down-to-earth way.
