Teacher enthusiasm is linked to various positive outcomes. However, most teacher enthusiasm research is based on correlational data. Therefore, no causal inferences can be drawn. To overcome this limitation, a between-subject experimental design (N = 163) was used to analyse the effects of teacher enthusiasm on instructional quality. Two versions…

An instrument was validated through factorial structure to measure the advantages, levels of reflection, and communicative competencies of the podcast, as well as to establish the levels of reliability and consistency of the measuring instrument. Likewise, confirmatory analysis was carried out to validate the proposed structural model and…

The purpose of this replication study was to examine the effects of accompaniment on evaluations of solo instrumental performances.
