This study was conducted to examine our hypothesis that how teacher’s teaching style influences emotional and physiological states of students in the secondary school science classroom. Sixty healthy secondary school students were participated in this study and divided into two groups: manipulation and non-manipulation. Each group underwent different styles of teaching on the scientific hypothesis-generating of corn starch experiment. Before and after the class, the strength of emotion was measured using adjective emoticon check lists and they extracted their saliva sample for salivary hormone analysis. Here are the results of this study. First, the intensity of positive emotions in the manipulation group was significantly stronger than the one in the non-manipulation group, whereas the intensity of negative emotions in the non-manipulation group was significantly stronger than the one in the manipulation group. Second, the cortisol level, an indicator of stress, was decreased in the manipulation group whereas it was increased in non-manipulation group. Third, the quality of scientific hypotheses which is generated by students during the class had no connection with types of instructions. Fourth, we found significantly negative correlation between students’ emotional intensity of interest and concentration changes of salivary cortisol. Therefore, the different teaching styles have influence upon students’ attitude and interest in science.
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine our hypothesis that how teacher’s teaching style influences emotional and physiological states of students in the secondary school science classroom.

Each group underwent different styles of teaching on the scientific hypothesis-generating of corn starch experiment. Before and after the class, the strength of emotion was measured using adjective emoticon check lists and they extracted their saliva sample for salivary hormone analysis. Here are the results of this study. First, the intensity of positive emotions in the manipulation group was significantly stronger than the one in the non-manipulation group, whereas the intensity of negative emotions in the non-manipulation group was significantly stronger than the one in the manipulation group. Second, the cortisol level, an indicator of stress, was decreased in the manipulation group whereas it was increased in non-manipulation group. Third, the quality of scientific hypotheses which is generated by students during the class had no connection with types of instructions. Fourth, we found significantly negative correlation between students’ emotional intensity of interest and concentration changes of salivary cortisol. Therefore, the different teaching styles have influence upon students’ attitude and interest in science.
