This understanding of affect relies on the axiom that emotion is a mindbody response effect that is indefinite until students’ attribute meaning to it (Zembylas & Schutz, 2016) and where meanings can often be confused or misunderstood (Spinoza, 1994) by students. Students may simply feel dis/comfort and assume a confused cause and effect process, interwoven with social acquired affective inventories for resolving uncomfortable feelings (affects) that can result in disengagement. Affect is not the same as emotion as affect is a ‘predominantly corporeal phenomenon which may or may not receive conscious attention as emotion’ (Watkins, 2016, p. and they make meaning from these sensory encounters. Students feel sensations during encounters at school including joy, shame, anxiety, shock, trauma, fear etc. Affect is localized at the ‘moment’ of encounter but also has ‘social valence and is multi-scalar’ (Watkins, 2016, p. Affective processes arise as felt sensations during pedagogical interactions and are usually unspoken. 126) then they can exploit the power of affect to enhance pedagogical interactions and increase student capacity. If educators understand that ‘the lived experience of learning is always affective’ (Hickey-Moody, 2012, p. It explored the hypothesis that an understanding of and careful attention to the affective processes of schooling, productive of feelings of belonging, impact student choice, engagement and participation in (STEM) subjects.
