Projects' Aim: In this study, it is aimed to examine the interaction between executive function skills and teacher emotions and emotion transitions in a teaching task prepared in a computer simulation environment. These interactions will be explored within the scope of "update, switching and inhibition" components of cognitive functions. In this study, two main research questions will be answered:;
