Abstract EN
The current study investigated teachers’ emotions, motivations, and changes to classroom practice as related to their involvement in a 6-week summer professional development (PD) program.
Participants (N=67) attended the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program at a large university in the United States.
Overall, study results showed that emotions played an important role in teachers’ engagement in the RET program and triggered changes in teachers’ thinking and implementation of their science teaching practices.
Positive correlations were found among teachers’ motivations and emotions about their PD experience, as well as changes to their teaching practices.
Interview data provided more depth to understanding participants’ views of their RET experiences.
