I was doing traffic pattern with my student when [another aircraft] made a radio call saying that he was 6 miles east of the field going to enter left downwind for 09. However; that was the last call my student and I heard from him. We had been doing pattern work for the previous 45 minutes following a Cessna in the pattern. My student had made a radio call saying that we were turning left crosswind for 09. As he was about to make a call saying that we were turning downwind; I looked out the right window to make sure we were clear and that is when I saw [the other aircraft] banking to the right. I immediately took control and banked the plane hard to the left and pushed the nose forward to get some airspeed. [The other aircraft] didn't make a proper entry and also stayed close to us at about our 4 o'clock. That is when he got back on the radio asking if we saw him and I responded yes we did and that we had been following the Cessna. I climbed to about 1;000 feet MSL and informed him that we will extend downwind to let him land. I extended a few miles downwind and began turning base and then final while making the radio calls. However; when I said I was on final; [the other pilot] said that he thought that I was 'confused' and was on the upwind. I definitely wasn't as I was on final. What he meant by that; was he wasn't going to get off the runway; and that's exactly what he did. He landed and instead of taking the closest taxi way; he purposely stayed on the runway forcing us to do a go around. I understand that it is not set in stone of how to enter a traffic pattern at an uncontrolled field and that radio communication at one is not required however; I believe that [the other pilot] violated 91.13 careless or reckless operation. The pilot of [the other aircraft] almost caused a midair collision and created a potential hazard on the active runway. Also; there were two other planes in the pattern besides me. This sort of behavior was just unacceptable and dangerous.
A flight instructor and his student pilot experienced a near-mid-air-collision when another pilot entered the traffic pattern without proper radio usage.
