Abstract

The teacher-student relationship is an important factor in the teaching-learning process and requires a teacher with, among other skills, a developed repertoire of social skills (SS). This study is a systematic review to evaluate the scientific publications on the subject of SS related to the teaching performance in Higher Education, considering the face-to-face modality. We analyzed 23 articles, published until November 2015 in six different databases (Scielo Brasil, PEPSIC, LILACS, Index Psi, Corpus PHS and PsycArticles), that focused on SS and/or nonverbal and paralinguistic components presented by the teacher in the classroom and/or in his/her relation with the students. The SS were evaluated by students, teachers and researchers and, in 47.9% of the articles, the use of validated instruments was involved. The most studied SS classes were communication (82.6%), work (52.1%) and expression of positive feelings (39.1%). While the first two classes seem to be more related to the traditional posture of the professor as a transmitter of knowledge, the latter seems to be more related to the current concern that the teacher should take on the role of mediator between the student and the knowledge, pointing to a gradual process of changes in the SS set required for effective performance in higher education. New revisions could confirm or refute the data described here.
