q3 i? There was a large, statistically significant overlap between observer, student, and teacher self-reported levels of teacher agency. → Donker 2021 q3 i? There was no significant association between observed and teacher self-reported communion, against what a shared expert role would imply. → Donker 2021

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Correlational analyses at the teacher/class level in Mplus, accounting for students nested in teachers, for 80 teachers. The study found "no significant association between the observed and teachers’ self-reported levels of communion", while agency showed large overlap across the three perspectives.

"Interestingly, and against what a shared expert role of teacher and observer would imply, there was no significant association between the observed and teachers’ self-reported levels of communion, suggesting that teachers perceived their communion differently from what was observed."

• Perspectives on teacher behavior are not interchangeable: combining observer and student perspectives on agency approximates the teacher perspective for teacher emotions, while students' own perspective is irreplaceable for student emotions — related
