Parr, Alyssa; Amemiya, Jamie; Wang, Ming-Te – Educational Psychology, 2019
Emotions are central to how students experience mathematics, yet we know little about how specific instructional practices relate to students' emotions in mathematics learning. We examined how dialogic instruction, a socially dynamic form of instruction, was associated with four learning emotions in mathematics: enjoyment, pride, anger, and…
