Abstract

It is the purpose of this study to determine an effective method of communication between teachers and students. This study was done by using the theory, methods and tools of transac-tional analysis as developed by Berne and Harris. In order to achieve this objective; First; The teacher and student communication process is to be used, noting the student's reaction when the teacher uses "Adult" and "Parent" stimulus. SecouJ; The effectiveness of the reaction toward the "Adult* and "Parent" Stimulus is to be determined with these objectives in mind. The problems of this research study are as follows; What influence on the response of the student is brought about by the method of communication used by the teacher? 1) When the teacher uses the "Parent" Stimulus method what response of the student is shown? 2) When the teacher uses the "Adult" Stimulus method what response of the student is shown? 3) What method of communication helps to promote tne student's growth? In order to determine the answers to these questions data was collected from 40 first year students at a school of nursing in Inchon. These students were divided into two groups and the unstandardized interview technique was Used to interview each student for ten minutes. A tape recording was made of each interview and the nonverbal communication was recorded by process recording immediately following each interview. The recorded material obtained from the two groups was analysed and then the Berne and Harris transactional analysis method was used in analysing the writer of this thesis undertook. Hypothesis 1. When the teacher used the "Parent" stimulus the student's response was more frequently "Child" than "Adult", the results showed a significant difference of P<0.001. Hypothesis 2. When the teacher used the "Adult" Stimulus the student's response was more frequently of "Adult" than "Child", the results showed a significant difference of P<0.001. The following conclusions are drawn from this study; 1) There is an indication that the teachers use of "Parent" stimulus communication is not an effective method to increase the growth of the student. 2) Since the teachers use of "Adult" stimulus resulted in an increase in the "Adult" response of the student there is. an indication that use of an effective communication method can help the student to develop. The writer-of this research paper suggests for further study the following; 1) A comparision of the differences in response to the giving of both "Adult" and "Parent" stimulus to the same Students. 2) A comparison of the differences in student response to the communication method according to the student's grade, age, sex and level in school.
