Educational communication

Communication is a consequence of the objective need for association and cooperation between people, and also a condition for the development of their individuality, originality and integrity. We systematise the theoretical and methodological considerations of authors about communication in the pedagogical process and classify the styles of communication. The following topics are addressed: the role of the teacher in the classroom process; the relationship between communication, education and the educational environment; communication and management of the educational process in the classroom; new technologies for education; the main difficulties in pedagogical communication. Pedagogical recommendations are offered for the development of the communicative process in the classroom. The methods used were documentary and content analysis, in-depth interviews, and the author's personal experience as a manager and university professor. Conclusions are offered. The text may be of interest to educationalists and also to business people, as the management process is essentially a process of educational communication.
