Teachers' Opinions about the Use of Body Language
Benzer, Ahmet
Education, v132 n3 p467-473 Spr 2012
Effective communication occurs with non-verbal and verbal tools. In this study the body language as non-verbal communication tool is taken to be examined, and teachers' opinions about the use and importance of body language in education are surveyed. Eight open-ended questions are asked to 100 teachers. As a result, it is shown that teachers realize the importance of body language in education, and that they feel the lack of not having body language training in the university, especially in the early years of their career.
