Students’ emotions profoundly impact their learning and wellbeing. One important group of emotions particularly relevant for learning are epistemic emotions (Morton, 2010; Pekrun & Stephens, 2012). Research including multiple epistemic emotions is growing but still scarce, and it has focused on adolescents and adults but neglected the early school years. To address this gap, we developed a multi-item instrument assessing the prototypical epistemic emotions surprise, curiosity, and confusion in elementary school children: the epistemic emotions scales for kids; ees4kids). We present data supporting the reliability and validity of the instrument.

All colleagues, doctoral researchers and students are cordially invited.
