The Role of Nonverbal Communication in the Teacher-Pupil Relationship

The starting point in choosing this theme was the belief that in the specific physical education instructive activity the dominant form of communication is the nonverbal communication in the teacher-pupils relationship. The study consisted in a sociological approach through an inquiry conducted on a middle school group of 150 pupils. The questionnaire comprised 13 items with prefigured and open answers to facilitate the research in the middle school pupils. A dominant form of expressing in the physical education lesson is represented by body movements as an expression of energy and information through posture, movement and indices and a psycho-somatic connection (body-soul).
