Enthusiasm is considered an important characteristic of effective teachers. However, the conceptualization of the term in the research literature is inconsistent. Whereas most studies use the term “enthusiasm” to describe features of instruction, some have used it to describe a characteristic of teachers. They should have a number of strategies in place designed to boost teacher morale throughout the year. Unfortunately, teacher morale is on the decline across India. This is due to some factors including low pay, teacher bashing, over testing, and wild students. Researchers have identified connections between teacher enthusiasm and positive student achievement, test performance, recall, on-task behaviour, attitudes toward learning, intrinsic motivation toward the subject matter, feeling of vitality, and rating of teacher effectiveness. In order to determine why and how teacher enthusiasm facilitates learning, hypotheses about three different processes were tested, namely motivation, attention, and recall encoding. Three hundred opening psychology students were randomly assigned to one of four conduct conditions, namely Low Enthusiasm, High Enthusiasm/Strategic, High Enthusiasm/Random, and High Enthusiast Uniform. The Low Enthusiasm condition contained few if any enthusiastic teaching behaviours. The High Enthusiasm/Strategic condition contained high levels of enthusiastic teaching behaviours, and these low-inference behaviours were coordinated with the topic stricture of the lesson. The purpose of this article is to address the determinants of teacher’s enthusiasm, indicators of enthusiasm, and offer some insight into helping teachers and teacher candidates show enthusiasm.
