The emotional dimension of teaching in a group of Portuguese teachers

Exploring the impact of teacher emotions on their approaches to teaching: A structural equation modelling approach

“…Teachers, as risk takers, face embarrassing dilemmas, which are unavoidably transferred into their work and personal lives and result in an increasing level of vulnerability and the imponderable damage of professionalism (Kelchtermans, ; Yin, ). This phenomenon is echoed by some research in other contexts (Bahia, Freire, Amaral, & Estrela, ) and is claimed to create a high level of frustration in not only the classroom but also in the family lives of teachers, which has been identified as a block to teacher effectiveness (Day, ; Schutz, ).…”

“…This kind of negative emotion may flow in student–teacher interactions and student‐focused activities.

Investigating novice teacher experiences of the teaching dynamics operating in selected school communities in Finland

“…This then requires a balance between personal apprehensions and what gets accentuated in the classroom, thus shaping an individual's behavior and teaching identity. The findings of this study suggest that teaching is by its nature emotionally burdening work as schools enact powerful and extensive emotional activities (Bahia, Freire, Amaral, & Estrela, 2013;Demetriou & Wilson, 2009). Hargreaves (1998) reports that teaching is an emotional practice influenced by interactions between people, the system, and the structures within which they work.…”

Student-to-teacher violation and the threat to a teacher’s self

“…In schools, the environment consists of the administration, parents, colleagues and students. From various studies, it seems that students are the most important factor influencing the experience of being a proper teacher (Bahia et al, 2013;Helleve, 2010;McNally, 2010;K.
