Abstract

Research has shown that teaching and learning are closely related to emotions, regarding both the positive influence of motivation and driving forces for learning (see e.g. Illeris, 2006) and the results of negative feelings such as anxiety and fear of failure (Pekrun, 2014; Jensen, 2015). However, emotions are considered a personal and private aspect of the learning process and, as such, not something a student in higher education expects to have to address or be explicit about as part of the education.
