Use of Nonverbal Communication while Teaching Primary School Students

Abstract

In order to improve learning outcomes, classroom management, and student motivation, the present study investigated the importance of nonverbal communication. Teachers utilize a variety of nonverbal cues to aid pupils in understanding difficult concepts. It was survey research intended to investigate primary school teachers’ views regarding nonverbal cues. The three research questions that were explored in the study were whether nonverbal communication had any impact on classroom management, student motivation, and learning outcomes. Through the random sampling technique, 244 elementary school teachers from district Attock (Pakistan) made up the study's sample. Descriptive statistics (mean and percentage) were used to analyze the data using SPSS software. The study's finding was that effective classroom management greatly depends on nonverbal communication. Furthermore, they are helpful in boosting pupils' motivation for learning.
It is recommended that teachers may receive specialized training in nonverbal communication techniques so that they can communicate better and be able to comprehend the feedback from their students
