Body Communicative Actions and their Meaning in the Educational Context

ABSTRACT

This article discusses the body communicative actions, emphasizing the issue of the communicative relationship among the subjects. Referencing the educational context, we discuss the dormant conception of the body in the teaching-learning process, the effective theoretical possibility of including new teaching knowledge, and the contributions of body language for pedagogical action. Through the prism of bodily communication, it is focused on movements and their meanings, promoting the premise that it is possible to convey and decode messages often imperceptible to verbal communication. Therefore, the conscious body language, establishing itself as a useful and effective teaching knowledge, is posited.
