Subclaims¶

q2 i? Strict emotional regimes contribute to the production of vulnerability, which can result in the invocation of deficit narratives that asset-oriented veteran teachers are otherwise careful to avoid. → Chen 2026

Evidence¶

Chen 2026¶

Chen, G. A., Vedder-Weiss, D., & Marshall, S. A. (2026). Introduction: the role of affect in STEM teacher learning. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-026-09777-4

The editorial describes Marshall and Chen's (2025) contribution examining how strict emotional regimes contribute to "the production of vulnerability, which can result in the invocation of deficit narratives." The special issue paper itself was not read.

"Marshall and Chen ( 2025) examine another consequence of strict emotional regimes: their contribution to the production of vulnerability, which can result in the invocation of deficit narratives"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The role of affect in STEM teacher learning remains seriously underexplored despite growing research on teacher emotion
• Emotional rules in workplaces can stifle veteran mathematics teachers' epistemic and relational agency and thus their ability to learn
• Common threat-mitigation strategies preceded and failed to prevent deficit narratives, whose introduction followed the failure of mitigation to restore the emotional regime
• Deficit narratives are co-constructed in teacher collegial talk in response to teacher vulnerability under emotional regimes that disallow strong negative emotions — a broader claim this one bears on
• In Case 2, persistent strong negative self-critique led teachers to assign deficit narratives to students as having missed opportunities, serving as foils for teachers — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
