34.030 - Physiology of Emotion in Education: Theory, Methodology, and Insight

Fri, April 28, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 217 D

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

A growing number of programs of educational research are measuring emotions using non-traditional measures, yet, most are limited to behavioral expression components such as facial expressions and posture. What is most lacking is empirical research on the third expression component: physiological measures of emotion (Pekrun & Perry, 2014; Gross. 2015). Without an understanding of the ways in which learners’ activation (i.e., arousal) are expressed in educational situations and environments, our understanding of emotions is partial, at best. This symposium brings together an international group of researchers to share their expertise using different types of physiological data to inform educational research, practice, and theory in order to help support more educational research using this valuable and under-utilized source of data.
