Implication

Randomized trial examines teacher communication effects on self-efficacy and burnout in undergraduates, suggesting positive implications for student anxiety.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the links between teacher communication behaviors and student learning outcomes, specifically focusing on burnout and writing apprehension.
  • Undergraduate students (N=389) in Business and Professional Communication courses completed validated measures.
  • Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships between teacher clarity, immediacy, self-efficacy, burnout, and writing apprehension.
  • Teacher clarity and rapport positively predicted perceived immediacy (β=0.65, p<0.001) and self-efficacy (β=0.54, p<0.001).
  • Higher self-efficacy correlated with significantly lower burnout (β=-0.47, p<0.001).
  • Burnout correlated with reduced writing apprehension (β=0.38, p=0.004).
