This study used interviews with two teachers, based on observations of their classes, to explore how the
emotions of teachers influence their autonomous professional development. One teacher aimed at creating
mutual learning relationships among students, and the other teacher aimed at activating students'
motivation for learning. The findings are discussed in what follows.
The styles of cognitive appraisal used by these teachers in specific situations were examined and their
emotional experiences were compared. The first teacher experienced irritation, which was interpreted as a
response to the students' negative participation in the class, whereas the second teacher evaluated his
performance from the perspective of generating relevant conversations among students, whereas the second
teacher based such evaluations on eliciting appropriate interactions between teacher and students. However,
the second teacher experienced distress and embarrassment, which were attributed to his own performance.
However, both teachers reflected on their experiences and improved their teaching by increasing their
consciousness of the negative emotions emerging from failures in their teaching strategies as well as the
positive emotions elicited by the behaviour of students.
These results suggest that teachers should reflect on their practice and develop professionally by
maintaining autonomous responsibility for their own learning as well as for the growth of their students by
attending to subjective emotional experiences
