MACKLEM, Gayle L. - Personal Name;

This brief synthesizes current findings on the many aspects of chronic student boredom, its relationship with negative academic, emotional, and health outcomes, and what professionals can do to best address it. Citing the complexity of this common student emotion, the author spotlights boredom susceptibility during the critical K-12 years. The brief analyzes cognitive and emotional attributes of boredom and identifies emotional skills that can be strengthened to counteract it. In addition, the volume features strategies for educators and school counselors to reduce boredom, both internally and in class.

Examines various types of boredom as well as gender and cultural differences.
Explores boredom in the contexts of anxiety and depression and in non-school situations.
Provides theory on causes of boredom in students.
Details how student self-regulation, motivation, and engagement can be improved.
