Non-Verbal Communication and the Affective Domain. Teacher Corps Associates: Resources for CBTE, No. 9.
Ligons, Claudette Merrell
This training package in nonverbal communication and the affective domain rests on the rationale that nonverbal communication is a support system for the verbal message that we convey and that it can be divided into two channels--the vocal and the kinetic. The vocal channel consists of the pitch of the voice, and the kinetic consists of postures, gestures, and other body movements. The package is divided into four units or learning modules, which are preceded by a general overview. The purposes of the four units are to: (a) give prospective teachers an overview of nonverbal communication and provide a cognitive base from which to operate, (b) provide the participant with an opportunity to learn how he relates his feelings and attitudes to others without words and to improve his perceptions of the feelings of others, (c) provide participants with information about nonverbal communication to enable them to determine its value in the learning situation, and (d) prepare the student to discriminate between messages given on the kinetic and vocal channels and to discuss the critical interdependence of the channels on each other. Enabling activities for the modules include readings, discussion in large and small groups, role playing activities, individual exercises, and the design of mini-lessons. A pre- and post-measurement instrument is included in the package. (HMD)
