Facts about body gestures in the education

The important role of body language in education is easy to explain. After all, even when you were still in school or college benches, a teacher's body language had a major influence on the pleasure you experienced in a subject. The teachers who communicated best and radiated superiority held your attention better during class and were able to motivate you more easily.
Research shows that the influence of body language in education is even greater than often thought. For example, only minor adjustments in the non-verbal communication of the teacher lead to higher assessments of his knowledge, accessibility and justice. Even the quality of the used textbook is rated higher by students!
