Abstract: (88 Views)
Background and Aim: Establishing effective communication is one of the key elements of successful teaching. Communication is categorized into two main types: verbal and non-verbal. Non-verbal communication accounts for more than fifty percent of effective communication. It appears essential to design a protocol that facilitates the improvement of teacher-student interaction in the classroom through non-verbal communication training. The objective of the present study is to design and validate a protocol for teaching non-verbal behaviors in the classroom, which has been developed to enhance teacher-student interactions.
Research Methods:The research method is a mixed exploratory type. The first section, pertaining to the development of the protocol, is qualitative. The second section, concerning the validation of the protocol, is quantitative. Expert teachers with at least 15 years of experience and a minimum master's degree in educational sciences or psychology completed the checklist related to the protocol.
Results:The developed protocol consists of five 90-minute sessions centered on five key topics as follows: First axis: Familiarity with the general principles of effective communication in the classroom; Second axis: Fundamentals of non-verbal communication; Third axis: Titles, concepts, and characteristics of non-verbal communication; Fourth axis: Factors influencing non-verbal communication; and Fifth axis: Consequences of non-verbal communication in the classroom. These topics were extracted based on a review of the literature and teachers' perceptions derived from in-depth interviews.
Discussion: This protocol, based on the experts' perspectives, possesses desirable content validity. The validation indices for both were fully obtained. The educational protocol can serve as an effective intervention in improving teacher-student interactions.
