Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Communication Studies (Communication).
This dissertation examines the role of teacher communication, student interest, and student engagement in the teaching and process and contributes to prior theory and research in several ways. First, this study unites two teacher behaviors into a concise model of teaching and learning. Research has indicated that teacher immediacy and teacher clarity can have an important influence on student learning. This study considers the combined influence of these variables on student outcomes. Second, this dissertation examines the role of student interest in the instructional context. In particular, this dissertation explores how communication on the part of teachers can influence emotional interest and cognitive interest on the part of students. Guided by emotional interest theory, cognitive interest theory, and the tenets of an operational model, this dissertation informs how teacher communication behaviors influence student interest and how interest impacts student engagement and learning.
