The present study is among the first to investigate how three foreign language (FL) emotions, namely FL enjoyment (FLE), anxiety (FLCA), and boredom (FLB), are related to each other. It is the first study to consider how the three FL emotions are shaped by one learner-internal variable (attitude toward the FL), by two perceived teacher behaviors…

The attitudes and behaviors of teachers directly influence the cognitive, affective, and social development of students. These effects may be positive or negative and may last a long time. The aim of this study is to examine teacher behaviors and attitudes that can negatively or positively affect student progress. Using a qualitative research…

This study examined the relationship between students' academic performance, teachers' commitment, and leadership behavior of school administrators.

Teachers experience significant stress with 93% reported high levels of stress (Herman et al., 2018), and literature examining teacher stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic reveals that 30 percent of teachers experience significantly high levels of stress (Silva et al., 2021). Low levels of teacher well-being and higher levels of stress have…

Teacher behaviour and student motivation are well-known antecedents of student learning performance. However, their interaction effects remain under-explored, especially given the different types of teacher behaviour and motivation. This study2 involving students in a private Pakistani secondary school (n=367) examined these interaction effects on…

This paper critically explores the notion of academic citizenship, evaluates its importance and argues that faculty have shifted away from engaging in collegial activities to behaviour that is purposefully targeted towards the attainment of academic performance metrics. We highlight the significant implications and challenges for the academy of a…

Research has primarily focused on the engagement of the student in the classroom (Austin, 1993; Schunk & Mullen, 2012; Tinto, 1993), often without consideration of the engagement of the teacher (Frenzel, Goetz, Lüdtke, Pekrun, & Sutton, 2009). However, we predict that teachers' subjective experiences "trickle down" and ultimately…

Previous studies have paid little attention to teachers` self or collegial considerations when making decisions about their students, precisely their tendency to avoid being blamed for students` failure. When a teacher is blamed for a student's difficulties, her/his public image ('face') is threatened, and s/he and her/his colleagues can be…

Background: Notwithstanding the emphasis on the idea that students should be actively and accountably engaged in their educational pathways, little research has investigated learners' agentic behaviours that take the form of student resistance to adult authority. Aims: This paper presents an experimental study aimed to assess whether, and to what…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine career and technical education (CTE) students' perceptions of CTE teacher interpersonal behaviors and their impact on student achievement.
