Tact is a fundamental disposition of the educator, albeit one that is scarcely addressed in the training of teachers and educators. The question is whether it is possible to treat this pedagogical propensity as a teachable habit, and to what extent.…

Using students' assessments of teaching at a top university in China from 2016 to 2021, this study examines whether evaluation of teaching improves teaching quality. Given the many doubts about the validity of students' evaluation of teaching, this study adopts a methodology to distinguish teaching quality improvement from the reversal effect. It…

Teachers experience and express various emotions of different qualities and intensities. They also adopt emotion regulation strategies to increase teaching effectiveness and maintain professionalism.

This paper uses the case of New York City teachers' interpretations of the labels that are assigned to their performance to explore how teachers experience teacher evaluation systems.

In this paper, we compare teaching quality in…

We investigated student perceptions of instructor responses to classroom incivility with a 2 (passive or active student incivility) x 2 (instructor avoidance or bald-on-record response) experimental design. Undergraduate students (n = 281) were randomly assigned to view one of four videos of an incivility incident. They then evaluated the…
