Specificul comunicării nonverbale în procesul educațional

Abstract

Communication has played an essential role in human socialization, serving as the foundation for transmitting and receiving information. Globally, there are three main types of communication: verbal, nonverbal, and paraverbal. Nonverbal communication accounts for a large part of the interaction process (53%) and has a major impact, especially in the educational field. Although it began to be studied more recently, in the 1960s, nonverbal language significantly influences the relationship between teachers and students. Teachers must pay attention to students’ nonverbal signals, which can reveal unspoken emotions such as anxiety or sadness. Understanding these signals can help prevent issues like bullying and improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Nonverbal communication, including gestures and facial expressions, is crucial for maintaining a positive educational environment and supporting pupils’ psycho-emotional development.
