English abstract

Introduction. The paper explores the proposed appraisal theory framework in a study of primary teacher students´ emotions in the process of learning and achieving information-seeking skills. Studying this process is important for teacher students’ academic success and future research-informed practice. The relevance of applying the framework, Scherer´s (2005) semantic space of emotions and Pekrun´s (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions, is presented, elucidated and discussed. Method. Concepts and elements of the semantic space of emotions and control-value theory of achievement emotions are presented. Analysis and results. Viewed together, Scherer´s (2005) semantic space of emotions and Pekrun´s (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions constitute an appropriate analytical tool to investigate teacher students´ emotions in learning and achieving information-seeking skills. It offers an understanding and explanation of the nature of information-seeking emotions and their interplay with cognitive appraisals. Conclusion. Given the limited body of literature on affective behaviours in library and information science research in general and in relation to appraisal theories in an educational context in particular, it is hoped that the paper provides a valuable conceptual and theoretical contribution to the field.
