Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? At the within-class level, perceived teacher enthusiasm had a positive effect on individual student enjoyment in Grade 8 (β = .31, p < .01) beyond the autoregression from Grade 7 enjoyment (β = .53, p < .01). → Frenzel 2009
Evidence¶
Frenzel 2009¶
Frenzel, A. C., Goetz, T., Lüdtke, O., Pekrun, R., & Sutton, R. E. (2009). Emotional Transmission in the Classroom: Exploring the Relationship Between Teacher and Student Enjoyment. Journal of Educational Psychology, 101(3), 705–716. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0014695
q3 · i? · associational · r3
Within-class level of the Step 3 ML-SEM model; the article reports 45.9% of within-class variance of Grade 8 student enjoyment was explained, and Grade 7 enjoyment correlated with Grade 8 perceived enthusiasm (r = .27, p < .01).
"There was again a relatively strong autoregressive path from student enjoyment in Grade 7 on student enjoyment in Grade 8 ( /H9252/H11005.53, p /H11021.01), but perceived teacher enthusiasm had an additional positive effect of /H9252/H11005.31 ( p /H11021.01)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Achievement Emotions — outcome: instruction changes it
- Interest — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Only the current teacher's enthusiasm relates to students' enjoyment; prior-year teacher enthusiasm is unrelated to next-year enjoyment — related
- Student-perceived teacher enthusiasm mediates the relationship between teacher enjoyment and student enjoyment — related
- Teacher enjoyment and student enjoyment in mathematics classrooms are positively related even after controlling for students' prior-year enjoyment — related
