Özet
Love plays a critical role in the academic life of students, in particular in their
social and emotional development given that it may impact their personality,
learning, career development, or future mental health. Loving pedagogy was
also shown to be a signiicant determiner of teacher well-being, implying that it
is essential for not only students but also teachers. Hence, working on preservice
teachers’ loving pedagogy perceptions assumes importance. The
present paper employs a relatively innovative analytic methodology, the joint
display of the indings, to enable a more holistic and unitary presentation of the
results. Joint display analysis is a circular process during which researchers
refer to the data several times to extract the most explanatory combinations.
Data was collected through the Disposition toward Loving Pedagogy (DTLP)
scale, prepared by Yin et al. (2019). The qualitative data was collected through
semi-structured focus group interviews. The participants were 259 pre-service
EFL teachers. The pre-service teachers in the present study reported that they
would view diversity in their classes as a resource provided that it does not
pose a threat. However, they reported a moderate approach to loving pedagogy
dimensions of the teaching and learning process. The focus group interview
results indicated that they are well aware of the emotional aspects of the
learning process.
