To this aim, three  \nscales were developed to measure the aforementioned constructs. The  \nparticipants consisted of 81 English as a Foreign Language (EFL)  \nteachers and their 426 students who were learning English in private  \nlanguage institutes. The scales were validated by Confirmatory Factor  \nAnalysis (CFA) and the correlations among their subscales were  \ninvestigated. The findings suggested that modularity, increasability, and  \napplied ELTare associated with the nature and amount of teacher  \nfeedback and care as perceived by the students. Moreover, the results  \nrevealed that teachers’ conceptions of intelligence significantly affect how  \nthey evaluate their students (p \u003C .05). In the end, implications were  \nprovided in the context of teaching.  \nIntroduction  \nEllis (2008) defines intelligence as a general set of cognitive abilities involved in performing a wide range of learning tasks. Individuals look at intelligence from their own point of view and form their own “conceptions” towards it (Faria, 1998) . Conceptions consist of beliefs, attitudes, and intentions (Brown, 2008), which may significantly affect behavior (Ajzen, 2005) . Teachers, as professionals who are constantly dealing with learners and their cognitive abilities, develop certain conceptions about intelligence, which could influence their behavior in the classroom. In the field of second/foreign language teaching, intelligence has been mentioned as an influential psychological construct in the learning process (Dornyei, 2005) . It follows that language teachers enter the classroom with a set of conceptions about intelligence and its role in language learning, which could be manifested both verbally and non-verbally in how they treat their students.  \nThe conceptions that teachers form in their mind about learners’ intelligence may be demonstrated in the care that they provide learners with. The term ‘teacher care’ reflects those practices conducted by teachers in order to establish rapport and a positive relationship with their students (Rogers & Webb, 1991). Feedback, the information passed on from the teacher to the students about their performance, is another important aspect of the teacher-student  \ncommunication (Mitchell & Myles, 2004) . In the field of ELT, due to the huge attention Vol 40, 1, January 2015 60  \nAustralian Journal of Teacher Education  \ndevoted to the teacher-student relationship, learner-centered classrooms, and the psychology of the language learner (see Ellis, 2008), teacher care and teacher feedback are considered as two highly significant constructs.  \nA few studies have examined teachers’ conceptions of intelligence and","cbCaiiQErw1ZD3vp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiQErw1ZD3vp","pdf",664633,24,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Intelligence in Education","[{\"question\":\"What constructs does the study investigate?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates teachers’ conceptions of intelligence and their roles in teacher care and teacher feedback in ELT.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the study measures developed and validated?\",\"answer\":\"Three scales were developed to measure the constructs, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to validate them.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about intelligence conceptions and teaching practices?\",\"answer\":\"Results suggest that teachers’ intelligence conceptions significantly affect how they evaluate students, and that certain intelligence-related dimensions are associated with the nature and amount of teacher feedback and care perceived by students.\"}]","Language Teachers’ Conceptions of Intelligence and their Roles in Teacher Care and Teacher Feedback - January 2015 | PDF",1792077528]
