Emotional Security on Teaching Effectiveness

This paper identified factors and challenges in sustaining attention and academic connection in the classroom. Results show that there are things that teachers find important to get attention and to secure academic connection with the students like creating motivating activities, building an environment that nurture trust, love and confidence, and setting expectations and using varied instructional strategies and materials. The effect of emotional security on the teaching-learning process was also evaluated in this study in connection with factors that affect learning. Classroom observations and interviews were made to gather data. The study will help educators and curriculum developers to consider various aspects of students’ learning needs in the preparation and planning of instruction. It is a guide to know and resolve issues in the teaching-learning process as well as to consider some pedagogical practices that are not acknowledged in the classroom dynamics.
