In the bachelor’s thesis, I investigated which emotions children in class 3 most often express, in which situations emotions emerge, and how they verbally and nonverbally express their emotions. I also explored the responses of other children and teachers to the emotions that appeared in the classroom.
In the survey, I observed 11 children aged 8 and 9 years in the 3rd grade of elementary school. During the lesson, between 9 am and 1 pm, I observed 2 children at a time and recorded the results in a previously prepared scheme. In the results, I presented an individual feeling in the table. Then I described the most common emotions which include joy, anger, and pride. I came to the conclusion that children most often expressed emotions during classes. The feelings were more often expressed nonverbally. Other children often observed the expressions of the emotions of an individual child, and the teacher responded to the emotions of children with joy and anger most often.
