Dr. Wang shared her research in this public lecture. Two research interest of Dr. Wang is teacher emotion and teacher motivation. One of Dr. Wang’s research about teacher emotions is The double-edge function of emotional labor. Teacher Emotional labor is divided into three parts: Deep acting; Surface acting (Faking and Hiding emotion); and Genuine expression of emotion. Deep acting means internalizing the desired emotions such that the emotions expressed are more consistent with felt emotions. Surface acting is described as externally expressing an emotion that differs from internal feelings. Then genuine expression of emotions is to express desired emotions that are also felt.
The discussion session is very interesting. The participants are enthusiastic. And finally, the public lecture is closed with taking group pictures. The next agenda is a collaboration discussion about joining the research between lecturers of the faculty of education UNJ and Edu HK. In a few months ahead Faculty of Education UNJ will hold international seminars. We hope we can continue today’s activities with further collaboration between UNJ and Edu HK.
