“…The social and emotional experiences students encounter in their classrooms are critical. Whereas positive and supportive classroom environments promote thriving, stressful and unsupportive classroom environments can jeopardize positive growth and contribute to students' mental health problems and school failure …”

“…Such strategies will not lead to desired educational outcomes, however. Oberle and Schonert-Reichl [40] established a link between classroom teachers' stressful experiences and students' physiological stress levels in the classroom. Anxiety, aggression, isolation, and motivational loss are among the common emotional responses to stress in learning environments.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate prospective teachers' perceived personal problem-solving competencies in relation to gender, major, place lived, and internal-external locus of control. The Personal Problem-Solving Inventory and Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale were used to collect data from freshman teacher candidates (N = 476). Data analysis procedures included descriptive statistics, an independent group t-test, ANOVA, correlational analysis, and hierarchical regression analyses. Findings suggest a significant positive correlation between perceived problem-solving skills and locus of control, place lived, gender, and two subcategories of major. Female participants' problem-solving ability was found to be higher than male participants'; however, male participants' scores indicated stronger internal locus of control than females'. Results show place lived, gender, locus of control, and two categories of major are significant predictors of perceived problem-solving ability (R 2 = .125; P < .001). Implications for teacher education are discussed.

“…Literature on teacher contagion highlights the impact of increasing stress on teachers and the passing of this stress, or other emotions, onto their students. In a study examining the link between classroom teacher burnout and morning cortisol levels in elementary school children, Oberle and Schonert‐Reichl () measured salivary cortisol levels of students to assess the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout levels. The results revealed that students had higher morning cortisol levels if their teacher reported a high level of burnout, consistent with the idea of stress contagion proposed in social psychology (Huang, Wang, Wu, & You, ; Wethington, ).…”

This article provides an overview of research on social contagion in the context of education. We highlight the importance of students' social interactions in school, considering contagion between peers and contagion from teachers to students, using a motivation perspective. The framework of contagion is introduced broadly, followed by a focused review on social contagion in school environments, both peer and teacher related. Then we introduce methodology for mapping behavior change to networks that are a direct representation of school cohorts. We argue that these different lines of research can be coherently interpreted from a motivation perspective, suggesting the critical role of motivation in social contagion, in the context of education. We highlight the limited amount of research on positive contagion effects and we call for further investigation into ways in which to increase the contagion of positive, academic behaviors. Finally, the neuroscience behind social contagion, both for the mechanisms and the interactions, is discussed.
