Abstract
This article introduces the Teacher Emotions in the Classroom Q-sort (TEC-Q) as a systematic means to identify different combinations of teacher emotions within the classroom settings. Reflecting six discrete emotions, the TEC-Q was implemented using a sample of 40 secondary school teachers who performed a card-sorting task. The participants were divided into three groups based on their shared emotional profiles, namely bridging engagement and enjoyment, from misbehavior to the mix of anxiety and anger, and pride with tempered enjoyment. The findings revealed diverse emotional profiles which highlight the complex interplay between teacher emotions and classroom events.
