What Mathematicians’ Emotions Can Teach Us About Groupwork and Emotion Regulation
Page: 1091
Two mathematics professors at a large university were interviewed about how their emotions impact their research work. Joy and frustration were the emotions they reported experiencing most frequently. Both reported the benefits of collaboration and the importance of regulating both positive and negative emotions. Implications on collaborative learning in the classroom (e.g. groupwork, pair work) and implications for emotions in the classroom are discussed.
