碩士 === 國立屏東教育大學 === 教育學系 === 99 === This research, based on the narrative research method and focused on the researcher as the main object of study, explored the influence of the teachers'' emotion management on the teacher-student relationship through the narration of what happened in the classroom. This study summed up three key reasons which caused the researcher’s negative emotions： 1. The teacher''s unchangeable faith would affect his or her emotions. 2. The students’ poor performances were easy to initiate teachers’ negative emotions. 3. Insufficient time and too many trivial matters were easy to make teachers angry. The researcher also induced four methods to soothe the researchers’ emotions. 1. Students who cared about their teachers. 2. Researchers frequently practiced observing their emotions. 3. Researchers kept writing reflective journals to help see clearly where the problems were. 4. Researchers searched for the right people to vent their emotions. The following suggestions from the researcher below were for those teachers who were feeling extremely down in the dumps: 1. Find partners who share common goals and tell them your problems. Listen more to other people’s suggestions in order to let yourself look at things from different angles. 2. Keeping a diary is basic for 5th and 6th graders. It offers an opportunity for teachers and students to have a better communication. 3. It is best to care about kids from the bottom of your heart. The first step to show how much you care about them is to try to recognize what they can do best. 4. The better the teachers who are able to manage their emotions, the more harmonious the teacher-student relationship will be.
