Results from structural equation modelling (variable-centred approach) revealed that enjoyment and all three negative emotions are related to two dimensions of instructional quality: cognitive activation and lack of classroom management. Association of emotions with teacher support differed, as associations were not confirmed for enjoyment and anxiety. Enjoyment was not related to achievement, whereas boredom showed positive associations. The results from mediation analyses suggest that the direct associations of perceived cognitive activation and perceived lack of classroom management with mathematics achievement are stronger compared to the indirect associations mediated by student emotions. Latent profile analysis identified four profiles: happy, unhappy, bored, and ambivalent.

In this mixed-methods study, we used Situated Expectancy Value Theory to investigate educators’ perceptions of student emotions during learning. Educators, primarily teachers, (N = 188) completed a survey about one of the following randomly assigned emotions: curiosity, interest, confusion, or frustration. The survey included questions about perceived expectancies, values, and costs associated with supporting student emotions during learning. Open-ended questions probing educators’ explanations of their responses were coded to understand factors associated with expectancy, value, and cost perceptions. From quantitative and qualitative data, we noted three integrative findings. First, educators reported relatively high levels of expectancy beliefs for supporting student emotions informed by their teaching experience and the extent to which they had developed tools and strategies to respond to student emotions. Second, perceptions of value depended on the emotion under consideration; positive emotions were valued more than negative ones, and the ways in which educators understood emotions as facilitating learning was specific to the given emotion. Third, despite identifying challenges such as the time and effort it takes to support student emotions, educators tended to push back against the idea that emotions have a cost during learning. Findings have implications for supporting educators as they navigate student emotions during learning and contribute to ongoing debates about the extent to which certain emotion and motivation constructs, especially interest and curiosity, are differentiated.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10635,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Educational Psychology","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102294"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0361476X24000390/pdfft?md5=3d73ec4614212b061ce1c77144c47771&pid=1-s2.0-S0361476X24000390-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141401553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this preregistered study was to test an online intervention that presents novel climate change data and uses number-line data visualizations to support climate-change learning and motivation for secondary students. To this end, I conducted an experimental online study with 248 secondary students randomly assigned to either engage with the intervention, the intervention supplemented with number-line visualization feedback, or a control group. Findings revealed that the game conditions improved climate change knowledge and situated interest compared with the control, and knowledge effects were stronger among learners who expressed more openness to reason with belief-discrepant evidence. There were no significant effects of supplementing the game with number line feedback. Exploratory path analyses revealed that there were also indirect effects of the intervention on climate change learning, plausibility, and climate efficacy through epistemic emotions and motivation. Namely, the intervention was linked to these outcomes by decreasing boredom which predicted utility value and science interest. The study contributes to conversations around the role of data-literacy in supporting motivation for science learning and showcases an intervention that can be easily shared online.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10635,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Educational Psychology","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102285"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141415083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nearly 300 adolescent students in middle school, high school, and university courses completed two activities on scientific topics of social relevance (e.g., the climate crisis, fossils and fossil fuel use, water resources, and astronomical origins), with the less autonomy-supportive form being completed prior to the more autonomy-supportive form. In line with prior pilot studies, both scaffold types demonstrated significant pre- to post-instructional shifts in plausibility judgments toward the scientific model and gains in knowledge with small to medium effect sizes. A mediation model provided a robust replication of previous findings showing that the indirect path meaningfully linked greater levels of evaluation to more scientific plausibility judgments and topic knowledge, above and beyond the direct relational path linking greater levels of evaluation to topic knowledge. However, we found no difference in relations between the two scaffold types, counter to our hypothesis that the more autonomy-supportive version would lead to better outcomes. This suggests that the implementation of more autonomy-supportive learning environments may be conditional, opening up a promising avenue for additional research, such as looking at specific contexts and how activities could be sequenced to optimize learning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10635,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Educational Psychology","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102284"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141401928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, a moderation analysis revealed that the association between aggregated perceptions of students’ perceptions of their instructors’ fixed mindset and course performance was significant in STEM courses but not in non-STEM courses, possibly reflecting meaningful differences in disciplinary norms and traditions that could shape ability mindset.

Buoyancy and coping were assessed with self-report, and achievement from an end-of-year examination. Buoyancy was positively related with adaptive, and negatively with maladaptive, coping strategies both in structural equation modeling and in the network analysis.
