25.023 - Show...and Tell? Using Behavioral Observation to Study Affective Processes in Educational Settings

Sat, April 6, 8:00 to 10:00am, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine, Chestnut East

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Researchers widely concur that attending to the dynamic nature of students’ and teachers’ emotions requires moving from one-shot assessments to using process-oriented measures (D’Mello, Dieterle, & Duckworth, 2017; Azevedo, Taub, Mudrick, Farnsworth, & Martin, 2016; Murayama et al., in press). Systematic observation of student and teacher behavior provides a particularly intriguing source of data as it allows for continuous tracking of emotional processes “in action” in an unobtrusive manner. This symposium brings together an international group of scholars to present recent applications of behavioral observation to studying emotional processes in diverse educational contexts. The session will address key variables that determine the applicability, reliability, and validity of behavior observation in educational emotion research, and discuss directions for future work.
