Teaching Teachers About Emotion Regulation In The Classroom, Leanne Fried

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

Emotions affect, and are intertwined with, many of the

cognitive processes of learning and also classroom motivation and

social interaction. There are often times within daily classroom life that

students and teachers are required to, or feel compelled to, regulate

their emotions. Limited research has shown that particular aspects of

classroom environments can enhance emotion regulation strategy

development. In addition, research indicates that some emotion

regulation strategies are more effective than others, with antecedent

strategies appearing favourable. Using a self-regulation perspective,

this article takes a broad look at emotion regulation in the classroom

through a review of relevant research, including …

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

group of Turkish pre-service English Language teachers’ reflective

writing. A mixed method approach was taken in the analysis of their

Managing Childhood Asthma In The School Environment, Amanda Hawkins, Leslie Painter, Sally Richter

Perspectives In Learning

It is often taken for granted that schools are instrumental in the spread of illness from child to child as well as from child to teacher. In addition to the nagging colds, stomach viruses and other temporary maladies, the school environment may actually contribute to some lifelong medical conditions. Many children face an unhealthy school environment on a daily basis, year after year, which may contribute to a condition called asthma. Asthma causes the airways of the lungs to swell and constrict and can often flare up without warning. Asthma is one of the top childhood disorders and is also …
