A rich array of social and cultural theories constitutes a solid
foundation that affords unique insights into teaching and learning
science and learning to teach science. The approach moves beyond
studies in which emotion, cognition, and context are often regarded
as independent. Collaborative studies advance theory and resolve
practical problems, such as enhancing learning by managing excess
emotions and successfully regulating negative emotions. Multilevel
studies address a range of timely issues, including emotional
energy, discrete emotions, emotion regulation, and a host of issues
that arose, such as managing negative emotions like frustration and
anxiety, dealing with disruptive students, and regulating negative
emotions such as frustration, embarrassment, disgust, shame, and
anger. A significant outcome is that teachers can play an important
role in supporting students to successfully regulate negative
emotions and support learning. The book contains a wealth of
cutting edge methodologies and methods that will be useful to
researchers and the issues addressed are central to teaching and
learning in a global context. A unifying methodology is the use of
classroom events as the unit for analysis in research that connects
to the interests of teacher educators, teachers, and researchers
who can adapt what we have done and learned, and apply it in their
local contexts. Event-oriented inquiry highlights the
transformative potential of research and provides catchy narratives
and contextually rich events that have salience to the everyday
practices of teachers, teacher educators, and researchers. Methods
used in the research include emotion diaries in which students keep
a log of their emotions, clickers to measure in-the-moment
emotional climate, and uses of cogenerative dialogue, which caters
to diverse voices of students and teachers.
