Course Goal / Objective

The primary objective of this course is to enable students to understand the basic concepts, models, and theoretical approaches to the communication process. Within the scope of the course, it is aimed for individuals to develop effective listening, speaking, empathy, and assertiveness skills in interpersonal relationships, and to use verbal and non-verbal communication channels correctly in professional and social life. Furthermore, it aims to provide the skills to manage communication conflicts that may arise in educational environments and within the family, and to bring the communication established with primary school children to a peaceful and supportive dimension

Course Content

The course begins with the definition, elements, and functioning processes of communication. After examining communication models and barriers to effective communication (cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes), it focuses on the beginning and developmental stages of interpersonal relationships. In the continuation of the course, core skills such as active listening, effective speaking techniques, empathic approach, and body language (nonverbal communication) are handled with practical examples.
