Most previous studies have focused on the importance of teacher-student relationships for student development. However, the mechanisms and boundary conditions through which teacher-student relationships, as the most important interpersonal relationships of teachers in schools, influence teachers' innovative teaching remain unclear. Therefore,…

Students may experience various motivational states and encounter diverse environmental factors, which could influence their perceptions of feedback. These perceptions can substantially impact their feedback engagement, yet determinants of such perceptions are under-explored. In light of this, the aim of the present study was to investigate the…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems demonstrate impressive capabilities in providing various forms of feedback. However, claims to its potential overlook a fundamental aspect of effective feedback between humans: recognition between teacher and student. This paper critically examines the role of GenAI in providing feedback within…

Student evaluations of teaching can be unreliable indicators of effective teaching and affected by implicit bias. We conduct a randomized experiment at a selective U.S. liberal arts college in which we vary both the instrument and timing at which we solicit student feedback to assess whether either intervention can mitigate gender disparities in…

Research shows that active-learning methods (e.g. discussion) are often superior to passive methods (e.g. lecture) with respect to learning outcomes. However, students sometimes report preferring and learning more in lecture-style classes compared to those in which they play an active role. These and related findings suggest students may lack…

Student experiences of closeness in teacher-student relationships can be of profound influence. Better understanding the personal and emotional contexts of such a phenomenon are of critical importance, especially in online and blended learning environments where students and teachers are physically or geographically separated. Such physical…

This study explores the perceptions of African graduate students in the United States regarding faculty mentorship, utilizing the framework of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). This research aims to understand how AI, which focuses on strengths, resilience, and positive experiences, can enhance the mentorship experience of African students during their…

This case study reports on a co-creation initiative that explored the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the context of higher education assessments. The AI Co-Creators project aimed to promote dialogue between students and staff on the impact of AI with the objective of using AI tools more effectively. The case study…

In cognitive psychology, researchers have identified a phenomenon called socially shared retrieval-induced forgetting (SS-RIF) that occurs during collaborative memory tasks in groups. When a speaker selectively retrieves target information, listeners may forget related, non-target information. The mechanism likely involves concurrent covert…

In "The Empathetic Classroom," educator and licensed therapist Maria Munro-Schuster helps K-12 teachers navigate emotional stress, combat exhaustion, connect with students, and avoid burning out. She also gives tools for better teaching, for teaching that feels better, and for classrooms where emotional intelligence, safety, and empathy…

In this study, we considered teachers' emotion regulation and teaching-related anger as a combined construct with multiple manifestations on classroom management practices. Four hundred and five Greek in-service teachers (M[subscript age] = 44.55, SD = 10.13; age range = 21.0, 68.0 years) participated in a cross-sectional online survey who…

Teacher autonomy-supportive style and controlling style are considered to be common motivating styles that affect online learning effectiveness. However, the associations between perceived teacher autonomy-supportive style and controlling style and undergraduates' self-regulation of online learning needs to be further explored, especially in terms…

Academic and emotional outcomes play equally vital roles in students' development. Many studies revealed that teachers' emotional exhaustion impaired students' academic outcomes, yet few studies have empirically investigated its relations with students' emotional outcomes. In this study, we investigated the relationships between teachers'…

As teacher residencies have expanded over the last 20 years, so has research on these innovative programs. But there is currently limited research on how residencies approach teacher-student relationship development and no research from the perspectives of the K-12 students residents serve. This article features interviews with 118 K-8 students in…

Background/purpose: This study examines the role of interactive boards--particularly the ViewSonic board--in enhancing learners' academic achievement at Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities by increasing engagement, deepening knowledge, and developing skills. Materials/methods: A descriptive-analytical approach synthesized findings from…
