31.073 - Teacher Motivation and Emotions in Context: Implications for Assessment, Instruction, and Intervention

Fri, April 17, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton, Floor: Second Level, Erie

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In response to alarmingly high burnout and attrition in practicing teachers internationally, a rapidly growing research literature highlights the role of individual differences in teachers’ motivation and emotions as critical antecedents of adjustment, attrition, and instruction. This symposium examines recent research on the underexplored moderating and mediating influence of critical contextual factors (student perceptions, cultural differences, intervention) on relations between discrete motivation and emotion variables (e.g., self-efficacy, goals, attributions, enjoyment, anger), psychological adjustment (e.g., exhaustion, depersonalization), and classroom behaviors (e.g., learning and socio-emotional support), with findings across multiple, large-scale, longitudinal studies from Israel, Germany, and Canada underscoring the importance of continued research on the nature and impact of motivation and emotions in teachers.
