Empathetic communication - guarantor of performance

Abstract

This paper analyzes the essential role of empathic communication in education, demonstrating its positive impact on school performance and teacher-student relationships. Empathic communication - the ability to understand and respond honestly to the emotions of others - is fundamental to creating a learning environment in which students feel listened to and valued. The study outlines strategies teachers can use to integrate empathy into everyday interactions and highlights the benefits, from increasing student motivation to improving classroom collaboration. Findings show that students who feel understood by their teachers report higher satisfaction and engagement, highlighting the need to support empathy training for educators.
