The Body Languages Teachers Use in the Classroom and their Purposes / Öğretmenlerin Sınıfta Kullandıkları Beden Dilleri ve Kullanış Amaçları

Abstract

It is necessary for the education to continue in a healthy way whether the messages that the teachers aim to give in the body language they use are perceived by the students as intended. In this research, it is important to determine the meanings that teachers attribute to the body language they use in their classrooms. This study aims to determine the body languages that classroom teachers use in the classroom and their usage purposes. The research was in convergent mixed methods design with the data-transformation variant. The study group of the research consisted of classroom teachers working in primary schools in the central districts of Antalya. The study group was determined in two stages using stratification and cluster sampling methods. Three districts from the central districts of Antalya and three schools from all three districts were selected. According to this distinction, a district with a low socio-economic status, a district with a medium status and a district with a high socio-economic status were randomly selected by cluster sampling. Three schools were taken from the selected districts by simple random method. A total of 45 classroom teachers, 23 female and 22 male, working in these designated schools were determined as the study group. Data were collected by semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed by content analysis. Teachers convey messages in the classroom using hand-arm movements, voice tone changes, body posture, touch/close contact, gestures/mimics, eyes and space. Teachers make more than one movement while using these bodily languages. When evaluated in general, it can be said that teachers use body language in the classroom for the purpose of conveying emotion, conveying information, attracting attention and behavior management. The transmission of emotions can be in the form of transmission of positive and negative emotions and also desired and undesirable behaviors in behavior management.
