Description:
Positive feelings of anticipation contribute to the development of teacher-student relationships and student motivation and engagement in mathematics (Moore, 2024, in press). Yet students often describe high levels of disaffection in mathematics classrooms (Nardi & Steward, 2003; Brown et al., 2008). This presentation will explore the role of student emotions in promoting motivation and engagement in mathematics. The session will then draw upon this exploration when unpacking strategies that promote an environment in which students are banging down the door to get in the classroom rather than out of it.
Presenter:
Thomas Moore by name, Thomas Moore by nature. He is a highly dedicated math educator who always strives for moore for himself and the people he works with. As an Education Consultant, he constantly seeks to learn moore to best support the schools he works with. As a private tutor and teacher, he always searches for moore strategies to engage his students and help them learn. Finally, as a PhD student, he is forever coming up with moore ways to procrastinate and put off writing (take this Bio for example). Don't let that fool you though! Come to his presentation, and you will be moore engaged than two statisticians with a census in hand!
