II. LA FORMACIÓN DE MAESTROS: APROXIMACIONES AL CAMPO CONCEPTUAL

Abstract

This article presents the postulates of the authors who in turn use theoretical bases
concerning multimodality and the different forms of communication, to carry out a study in
which it can be observed how the use of these factors can be perceived by the students of the
Unidad Central del Valle. Among the aims of the study is to be able to relate whether students
can consciously or unconsciously perceive the use of teachers in the classroom by factors
such as body language, facial language, hand movement, eye movement, among others. Also,
to be able to determine whether such perception can positively or negatively affect the active
participation of students in academic activities. The foregoing was carried out using
qualitative instruments and using a methodology based on phenomenology. The research
findings illustrate the high degree to which students can receive the messages sent by the
teacher in the different forms of communication. The present study makes contributions to
the field of teacher training to the point that it provides important bases in the knowledge of
multimodality and communicative behaviors in the classroom.
