Academic emotions and the learning of biology, a long-lasting association
Abstract
The classroom is an emotional place. There is virtually no major human emotion which is not experienced in academic settings. Emotional state and learning influence each other, suggesting that a long-lasting association may be maintained. To assess this possibility, this contribution explores the association between biology learning outcomes, perpetuated from Secondary Education, and past emotions experienced at this stage (in two different academic settings) by a sample of 152 pre-service teachers. Correlation analysis supports a significant relationship between past emotions and long-lasting learning outcomes of key Biology concepts acquired during Secondary education.Keywords
