The purpose of the study was to examine science teachers' emotions, emotion regulation goals and strategies during instruction, and the role of teaching experience, teacher efficacy beliefs, and teacher goal orientations in their emotions and emotion regulation using the control-value theory of emotions and the process model of emotion regulation. We employed a multiple-case holistic design with three in-service science teachers. Data were collected from teacher diaries, video recordings, fieldnotes from non-participant observations, and semi-structured interviews. For data analysis, the deductive method, content analysis, and the constant comparative method were employed. Results showed that the most frequently experienced emotions during the instruction were enjoyment and contentment as positive emotions and worry and anger as negative emotions. The teachers mostly used antecedent-focused emotion regulation strategies for hedonic reasons. The most frequently used emotion regulation strategy was situation selection, which was mostly employed for classroom management issues. In addition, findings indicated that the teachers differed in their emotions, emotion regulation goals, and emotion regulation strategies based on their years of teaching experience, self-efficacy beliefs, goal orientations, and pedagogical content knowledge. Results suggest the importance of teacher emotions in science education to nurture effective science pedagogies and to enrich science teaching.

A Systematic Review of Executive Function and Emotion Regulation Studies in Early Childhood Üzüm, Sabiha; Demircan, Hasibe Özlen (2021-9-17) This systematic review aims to synthesize findings from studies that presented information on the relationship between executive function and emotion regulation of children between zero and eight years old and expose the potential contributions of this relationship to early childhood education. There is a lack of work to understand bidirectional associations between emotion and cognition better (Gray, 2004). Accordingly, the study aimed to shed light on the progress in the literature. Cognitive reasoning, c...

A qualitative study on the perceptions of early childhood teachers towards physical design for classroom management Şahin, İkbal Tuba; Erden, Feyza; Department of Early Childhood Education (2009) The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of early childhood teachers in relation to the influence of the physical environment of the classroom on classroom management. More specifically, the present study examined teachers’ perceptions about the factors which influence their classroom management practices, how the physical environment of the classroom influences their instructional processes and teacher-student interactions. To collect the data for the study, a semi-structured interview schedule ...
A conceptual model of relationships among constructivist learning environment perceptions, epistemological beliefs, and learning approaches Özkal, Kudret; Öztekin, Ceren; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Sungur, Semra (2009-01-01) This study proposed a conceptual model of relationships among constructivist learning environment perception variables (Personal Relevance, Uncertainty, Critical Voice, Shared Control. and Student Negotiation), scientific epistemological belief variables (fixed and tentative), and learning approach. It was proposed that learning environment perceptions predict learning approach directly and indirectly through scientific epistemological beliefs. Constructivist Learning Environment Survey, Scientific Epistemo...
A cross Age Study of Elementary Students Motivation towards Science Learning Güvercin, Özge; Öztekin, Ceren; Sungur, Semra (2010-01-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of grade level and gender on elementary school students motivation towards science learning A total of 2231 sixth and eight grade students participated in the study Data were collected through Students Motivation towards Science Learning Questionnairc Two way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was conducted to examine the effects of grade level and gender on student motivation e self efficacy science learning value achievement goal and performa...
