Therefore, teachers and students can transmit information not only through language, but also through eye contact. When students encounter difficulties in the classroom content and look up at the teacher in doubt, the teacher finds this signal when scanning the classroom, so as to ask students questions and solve doubts in time. Third, eye contact can provide students with motivation to learn. Students sometimes doubt whether their efforts will be recognized by their teachers. When students look up to the teacher for this, if the teacher gives a positive look, it will give students confidence to work harder. The results are consistent with previous studies. Hodge pointed out that if students look at the teacher and find that the teacher is also paying attention to themselves, they will get more incentives. Finally, teachers can conduct discipline management through eye contact. When students interfere with classroom discipline, a serious face of teachers can not only effectively stop disturbing classroom behavior, but also safeguard students' dignity.
Secondly, academic performance, seat distribution and class size are the main factors that affect the frequency of classroom eye contact. Students with good academic performance, students who often sit in the middle of the front row of the classroom, often see the teacher. This conclusion confirms Kleinke's view that when people receive positive comments or share their favorite feelings, they are more willing to feedback eye contact. If students actively interact with teachers, teachers may pay more attention to them; On the contrary, some teachers tend to ignore students who have no feedback to their teachers. Therefore, this study provides clues for improving academic performance, and increasing the frequency of eye contact with teachers can be a means to improve students' performance. In addition, students generally think that classrooms with a class capacity of 20-30 people have more eye contact with teachers than classrooms with more than 100 people, and the classroom effect is better.
Thirdly, when students agree, deny or doubt the content of the teacher's lecture, they will choose to see the teacher, and they will usually be encouraged by the teacher's attention and attention. Previous studies have pointed out that eye protection will attract students' attention, and when students feel that teachers pay attention to themselves with their eyes, they will have more reactions. Therefore, university teachers should know how to communicate with students with their eyes in classroom teaching.
Teachers' nonverbal behavior in class is not only the deepening and necessary supplement of teachers' verbal behavior in class, but also the embodiment of teachers' teaching art level, which affects students' acceptance of teachers' information and ultimately affects the quality of classroom teaching. In many current classroom teaching, some teachers don't realize the important role of nonverbal behavior in students' physical and mental development, and teachers seldom use nonverbal interaction such as expression, expression, intonation, voice and body movements. In classroom teaching, teachers and students should make effective eye contact. On the one hand, positive "eye contact between teachers and students" will show the relationship between teachers and students and improve students' interest and confidence in learning; On the other hand, "eye contact between teachers and students" can help students concentrate in class and improve classroom learning efficiency.
