A Study On The Dynamic Contagion Of Emotional Infection Of Teachers And Students In Middle School

Emotional contagion phenomenon is very common in our daily life.Currently,studies of emotional contagion in our country mainly focus on two fields:service and management,but study poorly the field of education.Based on the theory of emotional contagion and current emotional state of middle school teachers and students in our country,this study was by means of combining the real situational experiment and questionnaire to inspect whether students' emotions will be affected and learning efficiency also be changed accordingly when they are faced with instructors who have different emotion.This study randomly selected three classes of grade eight,and randomly assigned to positive emotions,negative emotions group and the control group.The experiment was comprised of two parts.In the first step,positive emotional group watched "simple Japanese teaching video" that was full of positive emotions;Negative emotional group of participants watched "simple Japanese teaching video" filled with negative emotions;Control group watched "simple Japanese teaching video" of neutral emotions.Students filled out Teachers'emotional contagion questionnaire in the classroom according to their own true feelings to measure the students' emotional contagion degree.Then all students finished the quiz to test the learning efficiency.Next,all students of three groups watched "basic physics teaching video" that is full of positive emotions.Then finished Teachers' emotional contagion questionnaire in the classroom and the quiz to test whether teachers' emotions in the first step impacted on current moods and learning efficiency.By the above-mentioned research,we can mainly draw the following conclusion:Firstly,make the initial level of the subjects have unified baseline levels by soothing music and experimenter instructions of relaxation.Secondly,there were different phenomenon of emotional contagion after watching different emotional video,and the difference was significant.Thirdly,there were obvious differences on test scores between different emotional contagion subjects in class.Subjects who accepted positive emotion contagion scored the highest,followed by the group that accepted neutral emotional contagion,and negative infection group had the lowest mark.It suggests that learning efficiency will also be affected after emotional contagion.Fourthly,in the second part three groups all watched the positive mood video,however,three sets of scoring are still significant difference in the emotional contagion questionnaire and classroom tests.It indicates that emotional stimulation is continuous.It is persistent and dynamic for students who are affected by teacher's classroom mood.Emotion contagion can affect not only the student emotion and learning efficiency at the time,also affects them attending the next class at the least.
