A full array of emotions

Ondertitel:an exploratory mixed methods study of teachers' emotions during a school inspection visit.

Scholars often focus on the presence of teacher stress and anxiety as emotional side effects of a school inspection, though this limited focus has resulted in an incomplete view of teachers' experiencing of other emotions. Additionally, lack of evidence on positive emotional inspection outcomes raises questions about the presence of such emotions during a school inspection visit. In this study, we examined the presence of teachers' emotions with regard to different moments during the actual school visit. Additionally, we explored teachers' cognitive responses associated with the experience of these emotions. Survey data from 316 teachers in 42 primary schools is analyzed using multilevel analyses. Findings show that emotions of joy were most frequently reported with regard to the three moments. Emotions of anger and sadness were reported to a lesser extent. Findings showed that friendly, constructive and transparent communication between both parties is important for teachers' experience of positive emotions.
