North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (41st, St. Louis, MO, Nov 14-17, 2019)
Researchers have investigated how teacher feedback contributes to students' learning, yet there is insufficient research into the connection between teacher feedback and student happiness, which is linked to engagement, socio-emotional well-being, and ultimately academic achievement. We coded lesson transcripts from elementary teachers to determine emergent patterns between types of teacher feedback and average student self-reports of happiness in mathematics. We found teachers to employ specific feedback more than general feedback. In addition, feedback for effort and ability accounted for a small percentage of feedback. Findings suggest that student happiness is linked to specific combinations of feedback dimensions. [For the complete proceedings, see ED606556.]
