Some reports estimate that nearly 50% of teachers entering the profession leave within the first five years (Alliance for Excellent Education 2004; Ingersoll, 2003; Quality Counts 2000). One explanation of why teachers leave the profession so early in their career might be related to the emotional nature of the teaching profession. For example, teaching is an occupation that involves considerable emotional labor. Emotional labor involves the effort, planning, and control teachers need to express organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions. As such, emotional labor has been associated with job dissatisfaction, health symptoms and emotional exhaustion, which are key components of burnout and related to teachers who drop out of the profession. Research into emotional labor in teaching and other aspects of teachers’ emotions is becoming increasingly important not only because of the growing number of teachers leaving the profession, but also because unpleasant classroom emotions have considerable implications for student learning, school climate and the quality of education in general. Using a variety of different methodological and theoretical approaches, the authors in this edited volume, Advances in Teacher Emotion Research: The Impact on Teachers’ Lives, provide a systematic overview that enriches our understanding of the role of emotions in teachers’ professional lives and work. More specifically, the authors discuss inquiry related to teachers’ emotions in educational reform, teacher identity, student involvement, race/class/gender issues, school administration and inspection, emotional labor, teacher burnout and several other related issues. This volume, then, represents the accumulation of different epistemological and theoretical positions related to inquiry on teachers’ emotions, acknowledging that emotions are core components of teachers’ lives. Advances in Teacher Emotion Research takes an eclectic look at teacher emotions, presenting current research from diverse perspectives, thereby making this volume a significant contribution to the field.

Professional development (PD) opportunities are offered to teachers as means for them to develop their knowledge and teaching practices, with the hope of improved learning outcomes for students. However, PD experiences often do not improve teacher knowledge or lead to changed teacher practices. Research exploring how teachers interact with professional development can serve as a powerful tool and help to outline further the landscape of professional development. Specifically, understanding the intersections of motivation, emotion, and teacher learning may inform our understanding of why teachers do or do not implement what they learn in PD and contribute to theories about the motivation-emotion-learning connection. Theoretical frameworks influencing this work include Expectancy-Value theory of motivation (Eccles et al., 1983), with the idea that the theory may help with explaining teachers’ motivation during PD by way of teachers’ expectancies for successful implementation, value for implementing, and perceived costs of implementing influence their intentions to implement what they learned in PD. In addition to motivation, this study considers teachers’ emotional experiences during professional development. Emotion theories, as formulated by Pekrun (2006) and Fredrickson (2001), frame emotions as the product of cognitions, and emotions as antecedents to future cognition. In this way, emotions can support or hinder teachers’ learning during PD. As teaching is an emotionally laden profession (Hargreaves, 1998), the consequences of teachers’ emotions during PD are especially important to understand why and how teachers’ learn and implement professional development. In this descriptive study, I measured the antecedents and consequences of teachers’ motivational and emotional experiences during PD. Educator participants (n = 673) were sampled from 64 summer professional development experiences. Participants completed two questionnaires, one immediately following the summer PD experience and a second in the following fall semester. Data were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling. Results indicated that participants’ motivation to implement what they had learned in PD and the degree to which they had experienced pleasant affect during PD predicted their intentions to implement what they had learned. Participants’ motivation to implement was also predicted by their teaching self-efficacy. Implications for research and practitioners are discussed.

Language Education and Emotions presents innovative, empirical research into the influence of emotions and affective factors in language education, both in L1 and in foreign language education. It offers a comprehensive overview of studies authored and co-authored by researchers from all over the world. The volume opens and ends with "backbone" contributions by two of the discipline’s most reputed scholars: Jane Arnold (Spain) and Jean-Marc Dewaele (United Kingdom). This book broadens our understanding of emotions, including well-known concepts such as foreign language anxiety as well as addressing the emotions that have only recently received scientific attention, driven by the positive psychology movement. Chapters explore emotions from the perspective of the language learner and the language teacher, and in relation to educational processes. A number of contributions deal with traditional, school-based contexts, whereas others study new settings of foreign language education such as migration. The book paints a picture of the broad scale of approaches used to study this topic and offers new and relevant insights for the field of language education and emotions. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the field of language education, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.

For more than a decade, there has been growing interest and research on the pivotal role of emotions in educational settings. This ground-breaking handbook is the first to highlight this emerging field of research and to describe in detail the ways in which emotions affect learning and instruction in the classroom as well as students’ and teachers’ development and well-being. Informed by research from a number of related fields, the handbook includes four sections. Section I focuses on fundamental principles of emotion, including the interplay among emotion, cognition, and motivation, the regulation of emotion, and emotional intelligence. Section II examines emotions and emotion regulation in classroom settings, addressing specific emotions (enjoyment, interest, curiosity, pride, anxiety, confusion, shame, and boredom) as well as social-emotional learning programs. Section III highlights research on emotions in academic content domains (mathematics, science, and reading/writing), contextual factors (classroom, family, and culture), and teacher emotions. The final section examines the various methodological approaches to studying emotions in educational settings. With work from leading international experts across disciplines, this book synthesizes the latest research on emotions in education.

This book brings together leading scholars from around the world to provide their most influential thinking on instructional feedback. The chapters range from academic, in-depth reviews of the research on instructional feedback to a case study on how feedback altered the life-course of one author. Furthermore, it features critical subject areas - including mathematics, science, music, and even animal training - and focuses on working at various developmental levels of learners. The affective, non-cognitive aspects of feedback are also targeted; such as how learners react emotionally to receiving feedback. The exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of how feedback changes the course of instruction leads to practical advice on how to give such feedback effectively in a variety of diverse contexts. Anyone interested in researching instructional feedback, or providing it in their class or course, will discover why, when, and where instructional feedback is effective and how best to provide it.
