(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2017) Satizábal Idárraga, Christian Camilo; Cantillo Sanabria, Martha Graciela
The main objective of this thesis is to understand the impact on the learning process of non-verbal communication of professors in the classroom. The focus of this research is kinesics; which is the use of hands by professors to communicate their message. This study has been conducted using semi- structured interviews with 30 students of Social Communication of the Santiago de Cali University. In these interviews, the respondents were asked to share their perception on one element of non-verbal communication of their professors. The results of these interviews have been analyzed through a qualitative study, realized by Aquad 7 software. The findings elaborate on how the different ways of kinesics impact the learning process in the classroom. In conclusion, this study shows that the use of kinesics seem to have a positive effect on the assertiveness of the professor-student relationship. So, professors could benefit of developing their non-verbal communication to strengthen the relationship with the students.
