CRAFTING THE TEACHER ACADEMIC EMOTIONS (TAE) SCALE: ASSESSING EDUCATOR EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES

Аннотация

The Teacher Academic Emotions (TAE) Scale represents a novel instrument designed to capture the nuanced emotional experiences of educators within academic settings. This research outlines the development process of the TAE Scale, which involves rigorous psychometric validation and refinement. Drawing upon insights from emotion theory and educational psychology, the scale encompasses a comprehensive range of teacher emotions encountered during instructional activities, interactions with students, and professional endeavors. Through a series of empirical studies and factor analyses, the TAE Scale demonstrates robust reliability, validity, and factorial structure. By providing educators with a standardized tool for self-reporting emotional experiences, the TAE Scale contributes to enhancing our understanding of the emotional dynamics inherent in teaching and learning contexts.
