Emotions in Student and Teacher Learning: New Insights and Educational Applications

Fri, April 12, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 111A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The goal of this symposium is to widen the discussion on emotions in learning contexts for both teachers and students. Emotions such as surprise, curiosity, confusion, and enjoyment can influence how learners engage in learning tasks in promotive and debilitating ways (Pekrun, 2017). Two of the papers in the symposium address issues of research methods regarding emotions: one describes the development of a measure to assess elementary students’ epistemic emotions and the second employs a within-person analysis of achievement emotions, outcomes, and antecedents. The remaining two papers report on experiments focusing the emotions of confusion and anxiety as they relate to learning outcomes.
