While instructional coaching can support teacher improvement and student learning, their effectiveness and longevity in the role may be influenced by teachers' emotions, the quality of the teacher-coach relationship, as well as the cognitive and emotional climate of the school. In this study, we analyze the emotional experiences of a novice…

Emotions are vital to learning success, especially in online learning environments. They make the difference between learning success and failure. Unfortunately, learners' emotional state is still rarely considered in online learning and teaching, although it is an important driver of learning success. This paper reports a work-in-progress…

The paper presents a system of emotions and attention analysis during e-learning multimedia contents consumption. The paper wants to explore the possible connections between facial expressions and user engagement while consuming multimedia e-learning courses such as tutorials, on-line quizzes and learning games. If a relevant connection emerges we…

Along with the rapid development of technology, videorecording teachers' lessons for professional development or educational research have become commonplace. Although the benefits of the use of videorecording has been well documented, few studies have attended to teachers' affective experiences in relation to videorecording. In this study, we…

An extended (and probably unnecessary) parallel is drawn between engagement in mathematics and engagement in musical performance. Key facets of engagement are described and a model of how mathematics engagement plays out in task-level activities is discussed in light of new findings related to its social and emotional facets. Implications for…

Emotions come into play as teachers make decisions, act, and reflect on the different purposes, methods, and meanings of math teaching. In order to learn more about the emotions of mathematics teachers, this paper shows the emotions experienced by 81 Mexican teachers who teach mathematics in middle school and high school. Emotions are…

The physical education teacher education (PETE) pipeline makes it clear to historically racially minoritized pre-service teachers the value of White norms and experiences while simultaneously "othering" their cultural knowledge. Using Critical Race Theory, Critical Whiteness Studies, and emotionality as theoretical frameworks, this…

We report on a research study conducted within a transition-to-proof course for mathematics majors at a large public university. Within the course, students explored famously unproven conjectures and reflected on how their perspectives of mathematics changed through this exploration (if at all). In this report we share students' takeaways from the…

There is widespread agreement that emotions play a critical role in informal science learning, yet little is known about the emotional experiences of children in informal science learning environments. This study aims to address this challenge by exploring the relationships among emotional, behavioral, and cognitive engagement in a science museum…

Educational institutions are places of affective intensity, and feelings and how they are expressed have significant implications for organising in those settings. However, research into role of affect in organising in schools and colleges has only recently caught the attention of education researchers. Consequently, affect does not have the…

Based on her fieldwork in post-disaster Fukushima, her hometown, the author reflects on how she negotiated insider and outsider identity as she navigated through multiple contested discourses and emotional spaces. In writing this reflective essay, she referred to the field notes she kept during her seven-month stay in Fukushima. The author…

As Robin D'Angelo (2018) describes it, white normativity rests on the "definition of whites as the norm or standard for human, and people of color as a deviation from that norm." Consequently, going beyond white normativity is not a simple feat. Racism and normativity have been an entrenched part of many of cultures, societies, and…

The aim of this qualitative research is to identify Mexican high school students' emotional experiences in mathematics classes. In order to obtain the data, focus group interviews were carried out with 22 students. The data analysis is based on the theory of the cognitive structure of emotions (Ortony, Clore & Collins, 1988) that specifies the…

Scholars posit that descriptive education research that focuses on the instructional dynamic between teachers and students is perhaps one the most salient research topics that can improve learning and teaching. This case study seeks to describe prospective teachers' mathematical affect as they engage in "rehearse teaching" in TeachLivE™,…

Emotions play an important part in learning and are known to influence human development. The positive emotions of enjoyment and interest are thought to contribute to learning in distinctive ways, yet this distinction tends to be blurred in some learning research. This paper explores the role these two emotions play in the development of…
