Concerning the concept of "INFLUENCE", we distinguished the action of influence from the capacity or the potentiality of influence. In this article, taking into account the latter, we intended to provide the theoretical framework for the research of teacher's influence on the pupil. Especially we examined Parsonian theory of social control and extricated it out of AGIL scheme to articulate it to Lasswell's scheme which defines influence in terms of value relations. On the basis of this discussion, we pointed out the following problems of teacher's influence: (1) Though the teacher's influence is ultimately oriented to "enlightenment", it concerns various values in the process. Thus the forms of influence in Lasswell's terms should be analyzed in the teacher-pupil rilationship. (2) The structure and dynamics of the influence requires the teacher to keep high "value position" beyond the subject teaching. That is, teacher's authority and pupil's dependence upon it are necessary for the effective educational influence. But this is an educational paradox since teachers have to make pupils independent through that process. (3) Teacher-pupil relationship in public school system is elementally based on teacher's headship. Therefore, the teacher must convert it to leadership in order to make his educational influence effective. By using his class-group as a reference group, it become possible for him to diffuse and strengthen his influence as group influence. (4) There is, today, a tendency that teacher's influences are becoming weak as a whole and limited into the specific scope. It is mainly due to industrialization in the present society, but it should be recovered from the viewpoint of child development and education.
