Pre‐service teachers’ open‐minded thinking dispositions, readiness to learn, and attitudes about learning and behavioural difficulties in students

The Emotional Dimension in Becoming a Teacher

Teacher attitudes and behavior toward the inclusion of children with social, emotional and behavioral difficulties in mainstream schools: An application of the theory of planned behavior

The results from numerous quantitative and qualitative studies support that attitude toward learning (Dompnier, Darnon, & Butera, 2009;Elik, Wiener, & Corkum, 2010;Shirbagi, 2010), interest in a particular subject (Kerger, Martin, & Brunner, 2011;Sarwar, Yousuf, & Ranjha, 2011), and (dis)respect for teachers (Poulou, 2009;Shadreck & Isaac, 2012) play a major role in students' learning accomplishments. However, the affection-related educational goals have received inadequate attention in traditional educational settings (Krathwohl et al, 1964;Ford, 2011).…”
