Abstract
Educational psychology has traditionally centered on students rather than teachers, even as interest in teachers’ psychological characteristics—especially motivation and emotion—has grown over the past 15 years. Evidence links teachers’ motivational beliefs, such as self-efficacy, enthusiasm, and professional responsibility, to instructional decisions and practices, but consistent associations with student outcomes remain elusive. This talk examines why the evidence base often falls short and how to strengthen it. Key limitations include coarse or misaligned measurement of teacher motivation and student outcomes, discrepancies between teachers’ and students’ reports of classroom processes, and designs that compare teachers rather than model within-teacher and within-classroom change over time. I discuss recent and ongoing studies that clarify when and how motivated teachers foster classrooms that support student engagement and learning, and conclude with recommendations for analytic strategies to advance the field.
