Correspondência verbal: a relação entre os comportamentos verbal e não verbal de professores em sala de aula

Abstract

Skinner says that tact is a verbal operant under environmental control (an object, a fact or one of its properties) which includes the behavior of the speaker, as when he describes his present, past or future action. Many aspects can interfere in tact, distorting the link between what is said and the real fact. Verbal correspondence area works with the relationship between verbal and nonverbal behavior, as such, between what a person says and do, said or will say and your real practice. This study contributed for a better understanding of the variables that interferes in the verbal-nonverbal correspondence in a natural environment analyzing set ups in which that correspondence occurred or not. Two 5thteachers were subjects. The data were recorded in the classroom and transcript besides. It was observed four classes to one teacher and five classes to the other. Based on transcription the questionnaires were created and showed about ten situations observed in classes, each of them followed by a question about teacher behavior (future or past). The results showed that the teachers presented correspondence repots more frequently for a questionnaires related a past behavior. The study allowed the indication of possible variables that interfere in a correspondence between verbal and nonverbal behavior of the teacher in a natural environment
