A Comparison of Tutors with More and Less Teaching Experience: Tutors with More<br />

Teaching Experience Help Tutees Express Their Knowledge Deficits<br />

Stephanie Herppich<br />

Research suggests that tutors fail to contribute successfully to the effectiveness of tutoring<br />

because they dominate the tutoring dialogue and have difficulty with detecting a tutee’s<br />

knowledge deficits. However, research also suggests that teaching experience influences the way<br />

in which tutors execute tutoring techniques. Thus, more experienced tutors might be more<br />

reluctant to dominate the tutoring dialogue and, instead, are more likely to foster a tutee’s active<br />

participation by eliciting, detecting, and addressing a tutee’s knowledge deficits. In an empirical<br />

study, we compared the tutoring interactions between n = 21 classroom teachers as tutors with<br />

teaching experience (teacher tutors) and n = 25 university students as tutors without teaching<br />

experience (student tutors). We found that, irrespective of the level of their teaching experience,<br />

all tutors dominated the tutoring dialogues. However, tutoring dialogues of teacher tutors were<br />

more extended. Thus, tutees of teacher tutors had more opportunities to actively construct<br />

knowledge. They also expressed more knowledge deficits. Contrary to our assumptions,<br />

however, teacher tutors did not address a tutee’s knowledge deficits more often than did student<br />

tutors. Overall, the results suggest that tutoring interactions with tutors having more teaching<br />

experience more successfully contribute to the effectiveness of tutoring than those with tutors<br />

having less teaching experience.<br />

The Influence of Teachers’ Emotions on Students’ Self-­‐Concepts, Attributions,<br />

Expectations, Persistence, and Emotions<br />

Jamie L. Taxer<br />

Research on teachers’ emotions and specifically the effect teachers’ emotions may have on<br />

students is still lacking. By replicating and expanding on studies conducted by Rustemeyer<br />

(1984) and Graham (1984), we examined the influence anger and pity from others has on<br />

intrapersonal causal attributions, task-­‐specific self-­‐concepts, persistence and emotions following<br />

failure. In Study 1, participants were induced to fail a cognitive task and an experimenter reacted<br />

with either anger or pity. The results indicated that participants who were shown pity were<br />

more likely to perceive that the teacher attributed their failure to lack of ability, as opposed to<br />

lack of effort and had a significantly lower task-­‐specific self-­‐concept, than participants who were<br />

shown anger. In Study 2, participants were induced to fail a word search task and a virtual<br />

teacher responded with either anger or pity. Results from this study showed that after an angry<br />

response from the teacher, participants were more likely to have perceived teacher<br />
