Özet

In order to raise the happiness quotient in teaching, it may be equally important to understand causes of
unhappiness. This narrative case study examines an experienced teacher's practice in teaching two repeat
classes for students who had failed at a public university in Turkey. Emphasis is placed on factors influenc-
ing emotional satisfaction and dissatisfaction in teaching, and their impact on the teacher's practice. Re-
sults show increasingly negative emotion deriving from institutional constraints and lack of student and
teacher motivation, leading to a state of amotivation with one class. Implications for curriculum and
course design for repeat students will be discussed.
