AB Adolescence is a transitional period during which a number of changes occur. Socialrelationships established during this period influence adolescent behaviour and affect academicperformance or alcohol consumption habits, among other issues. Teachers are very important actorsin observing and guiding the evolution of their students, and should therefore have the appropriateknowledge and tools to gain insight into the complex social relationships that exist in their classes.The use of social network analysis (SNA) techniques may be helpful in order to study and monitor theevolution of these social networks. This study tries to understand how teachers perceive SNA metricsfrom an intuitive point of view. Using this information, useful tools could be created that allowteachers to use SNA techniques to improve their understanding of student relationships. A number ofinterviews with different teachers were held in secondary schools in Spain, allowing SNA concepts tobe related to the everyday terms used by the teachers to characterize their students. Results from thestudy have an impact on questionnaire design for gathering data from students in order to performan SNA analysis and on the design of software applications that can help teachers to understand theresults of this analysis.
