Nurturing Relationships in the Classroom: Dynamics of Emotional Connections
摘要
This chapter explores how emotionally supportive teachers not only enhance student well-being but also experience positive effects on their own psychological health. Additionally, the chapter focuses on the concept of the “teacher’s invisible hand”, emphasizing the subtle ways in which educators shape classroom dynamics and influence academic success. Furthermore, a qualitative study is presented, analysing teachers’ positive and negative recollections of their own school experiences to investigate their impact on educational trajectories, as well as personal and professional identity formation.
