Teacher behavior as a mediator of the relationship between teacher judgment and students’ motivation and emotion at primary school Abstract Students’ motivation and emotion is very important part of study. Teachers have different behavior to different students due to different judgments. Therefore,this study examines whether teacher behavior is a mediator of the relationship between teacher judgment and students' motivation and emotion at primary school. One hundred and forty-four fourth grade students completed a standardized English test and answered a questionnaire on motivation, emotion, and perception of differential teacher behavior. Their English teacher assess students' test performance. Students underestimated in test performance showed lower motivation and emotion than students overestimated in test performance. The two student groups perceived differential teacher behavior. Teacher behavior mediated the relationship between performance judgments and students' motivation and emotion. A rethinking of teacher's behavior towards students might counter these undesirable tendencies.47705

小学中教师行为作为教师评价与学生积极性与兴趣的媒介
摘要学生的积极性与兴趣是学习中的重要组成部分,而教师根据对学生的评价,也会有着不同的表现。因此,本文研究了教师行为是否是教师评价与学生学习动机和情感的媒介。研究对象为一百四十四名小学四年级学生和他们的英语教师。学生被要求完成一份纸质试卷和一份问卷,问卷涵盖了动机、情感、对教师不同行为的感知等方面的内容。而英语教师则被要求对学生进行评估。在考试中成绩不理想的学生与成绩优秀的学生相比,表现出了较低的学习积极性和兴趣。而教师对待学生的表现也有所不同。由此可见,教师的行为是教师评价和学生学习积极性和兴趣的媒介。为此,有必要重新思考一下教师对学生的评价与行为。
