Emotion and Meaning-Making: Affordances in the Classroom.

Schuh, Kathy L.; Rea, Julie

Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v14 n2 p2-10 Spr 2001

Learner-centered teacher strategies related to classroom dialogue and activity choice can increase affective/emotional affordances in the learning process. (Contains 16 references.) (SV)
