This study explores the role of teacher joy within the context of outdoor learning, offering a holistic perspective on professional well-being. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we analyzed 31 data sources from five previous studies involving 21 PreK–12 teachers across the United States. Findings highlight four key ways teachers experience joy through outdoor learning: (1) through watching students learn and grow; (2) facilitating connections in/with nature; (3) prioritizing flexibility and leaning into distractions; and (4) fostering collaborative explorations. These relational and context-specific experiences reveal how joy plays a powerful, sustaining role in teachers’ professional lives. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of joyful pedagogy and highlights the potential of outdoor learning to enhance teacher well-being and support professional sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48430,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Teacher Education","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 105260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145269456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal how emotional tensions arising from student management, parental expectations, and institutional demands triggered identity shifts from idealized roles (authoritative or devoted teachers) to more reflective, negotiated positions. These emotional struggles were not passive reactions, but dynamic meaning-making processes that mediated belief revision and professional growth. By foregrounding <em>perezhivanie</em> as an analytical lens, this study offers a nuanced account of how emotional experience functions not merely as a response to reform but as a mediating force in identity negotiation.
