Can nursing students' perceived teacher enthusiasm dampen their class-related boredom during theoretical lessons? A cross-sectional study among Chinese nursing students

According to this, enthusiastic teachers may facilitate their students' interest and dampen their boredom in lectures (Kim and Schallert (2014); Tanaka and Murayama, 2014).

“…Studies by Keller et al (2013Keller et al ( , 2014Keller et al ( , 2015 and Kunter et al (2008Kunter et al ( , 2011Kunter et al ( , 2013 found that teacher enthusiasm correlated with the high quality of teaching and positive outcomes of learning (i.e., enjoyment of students in learning).
