Abstract

This narrative inquiry examines how two novice middle school English teachers in China transform negative emotions into professional resilience. Through narrative analysis of in-depth interviews, guided by Mansfield et al.’s (2012) resilience framework, the study reveals how negative emotions catalyse growth across profession-related, emotional, motivational, and social dimensions. Findings show that with adequate support, negative experiences can foster more sophisticated pedagogical approaches, enhanced emotional regulation strategies, deeper professional commitment, and stronger support networks. By demonstrating this transformative process and proposing a revised theoretical model, this study offers crucial insights for teacher education programs on leveraging professional challenges for sustained growth.
中国初任中学英语教师弹性的叙事探究:负面情绪是改变的催化剂
本文考察了中国两位初任中学英语教师是如何将负面情绪转化为职业弹性的。在Mansfield et al.(2012)弹性框架的指导下,通过深度访谈的叙事分析,本研究揭示了负面情绪如何在职业相关、情感、动机和社会维度上催化成长。研究结果表明,在适当的支持下,负面经历可以培养更复杂的教学方法,增强情绪调节策略,更深入的专业承诺和更强大的支持网络。通过展示这一转变过程并提出修订后的理论模型,本研究为教师教育项目利用专业挑战实现持续增长提供了重要见解。
