This study investigated the relationship between emotion and classroom management among preschool teachers in Taichung, Changhua, and Nantou (Taiwan). A total of 524 valid questionnaires were retrieved. The current situation of preschool teachers’ emotion and classroom management was explored, and the differences in the emotion and classroom management strategies employed by teachers from different backgrounds were compared. Finally, the relevance and predictive power of kindergarten teachers’ emotion and classroom management were investigated. The five main findings of this study are as follows: First, the teachers’ emotion and classroom management were above average, particularly their “emotional awareness ability.” Second, the differences in their background characteristics, including their age, seniority, position, and school size, had a significant effect on their emotion management. Third, differences in their background characteristics, including their age, education level, seniority, and position, had a significant effect on their classroom management. Fourth, the results revealed a positive correlation between their emotion and classroom management. Finally, their emotion management significantly predicted the effectiveness of their classroom management. |
