God undervisning handler ikke bare om faglighed, men også om relationer. Eleverne skal mærke, at lærerne er opmærksomme på dem og tager ansvar for den gode stemning i klassen. Det er forudsætningen for, at børn kan lære mest muligt og samtidig have det godt. Derfor må lærere vide, hvordan de handler relationskompetent i praksis.
En god guide til, hvordan alle, der arbejder med mennesker, har mulighed for at forbedre deres evne til at agere relationskompetent. Der er en god balance mellem teori og praksiseksempler, og selvom bogen giver eksempler fra et lærer-liv, kan teori og eksempler let overføres til andre faggrupper.
"Relationskompetence" (2018) by Danish scientist Louise Klinge.
The book delves into the importance of relational competence in educational settings, specifically focusing on how teachers’ emotional and relational skills impact student learning and well-being. Klinge argues that effective teaching goes beyond delivering academic content; it’s equally about establishing positive, nurturing relationships with students. This approach creates an environment where students feel seen and valued, which is foundational for learning and development.
Klinge emphasizes practical strategies for teachers to enhance their relational skills, fostering a classroom atmosphere where mutual respect and understanding thrive. She presents relational competence not just as a desirable trait but as a critical teaching skill that supports students’ academic and emotional growth. Through her research, Klinge highlights the positive effects of empathetic, relationally skilled educators on student engagement, self-esteem, and learning outcomes.
The book has gained attention for its contribution to educational theory and practice, particularly in Scandinavia, where there’s a strong emphasis on holistic, student-centered education.
