Drawing out emotions in primary grade geometry: An analysis of participant-produced drawings of Grade 3–6 students

Research on psychosocial classroom learning environments has a strong tradition due to the early discovery of a relationship between positive classroom climate and academic performance and motivation, engagement, participation, and attitude towards school and teaching. Yet, more research is needed...
