Descripción:	Contextualisation This paper examines students' perceptions of teaching in Higher Education from a sociological perspective. Abstract: My study aims to identify how students perceive the pedagogical styles of teachers in higher education. Drawing mainly on the works ofFoucault, I examine the power relations exercised in the classroom which establish and control the interaction between teachers and students, the motivation of students and the empowering process of giving students correct and sufficient tools for developing a critical voice. The empirical data was gathered from semi-structured interviews with postgraduate and undergraduate students in higher education. My study concludes that the perceptions students have of their teachers' pedagogical styles can be empowering and/or disempowering depending on the intention underlying the teachers' choice of pedagogical styles. The powers exercised by teachers in the classroom can be perceived by students as providing them with critical understanding and voice, or restraining and limiting their critical understanding and voice, culminating in silence in the classroom.
