Supporting Teacher Decision-Making Through Appropriate Feedback

2016
Book Chapters

Abstract

The quality of teaching is significantly enhanced through feedback to teachers about their teaching. Whereas systems to show student learning exist, those showing the emotional state of the classroom do not. We argue that such systems could greatly improve teaching, and in consequence, pupil attainment. Data for such systems could come from biometric sensors or from cameras and microphone monitoring the gaze of students, their restlessness, and the level of noise in the classroom. Such systems would be valuable in particular for teachers with less experience.

Emotional labor

Emotional labor is the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill the emotional requirements of a job. More specifically, workers are expected to regulate their personas during interactions with customers, co-workers, clients, and managers. This includes analysis and decision-making in terms of the expression of emotion, whether actually felt or not, as well as its opposite: the suppression of emotions that are felt but not expressed.

Emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence (EI) is most often defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, and handle emotions. People with high emotional intelligence can recognize their own emotions and those of others, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, and adjust emotions to adapt to environments. Although the term first appeared in 1964, it gained popularity in the 1995 bestselling book Emotional Intelligence by science journalist Daniel Goleman.
