Abstract

This symposium presents a selection of cutting-edge research on teachers’ emotions across a broad range of educational settings—from pre-service to professors—and outcomes. The session brings together international experts from the US, Canada, Germany, and Hongkong/China who will share current empirical studies and theoretical insights into pre-service teachers’ epistemic emotions, primary and secondary teachers’ emotional labor, emotional/relational atmosphere links in secondary school, and the role of emotions for university faculty’s teaching and research. All presenters will offer avenues for future research and suggest practical implications that focus on the role of emotions in the multifaceted work of teachers. The discussant, a foremost expert in the field, will present a synthesis and offer suggestions for moving the field forward.
