Emotion regulation of preservice teachers: Integrating emotional dimensions into online education
In this study, preservice teachers’ activating and deactivating emotions and emotion regulation strategies in online education were investigated. With this purpose in mind, two related studies were conducted. In Phase 1, the preservice teachers' activating and deactivating emotions in an online setting were investigated. In Phase 2, emotion regulation strategies of preservice teachers in online education were examined. While the first phase used quantitative methods, the second one employed qualitative methods. According to results, the most frequently mentioned emotions among preservice teachers in online education are positive emotions such as enjoyment, peacefulness, hopefulness, and happiness. It has been observed that attention shifting and avoidance were used to regulate their emotions. Preservice teachers’ emotions were positive, though they had problems utilizing diverse emotion regulation strategies.
