چکیده مقاله:

Personality types and professional/psychological attributes of teachers have long been the subject of extended debate and research in all fields of education, namely ELT. Accordingly, the focus of this study was to investigate the relationship between introvert and extrovert EFL teachers’ adversity quotient and their effective classroom management. To this end, the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) was distributed among ۲۰۰ teachers who volunteered to participate in this study and ultimately the ۶۰ teachers who were introverts and the ۶۰ who were extroverts were chosen or the study. All the participants were ۳۰ females and ۳۰ males aged ۲۵-۵۰ with at least three years of teaching experience in different language schools in Tehran. The Adversity Quotient Profile (AQP) was administered among these ۱۲۰ participants and each teacher’s class was subsequently observed by the researchers through which the teacher’s classroom management was assessed using Murdoch’s (۲۰۰۰) Checklist. To find out the relationship between the two main variables of this study, both descriptive and inferential statistics including Pearson Correlation and linear regression were carried out. The results showed that both introvert and extrovert teachers’ AQ was a significant predictor of their classroom management. These findings delineate that teachers’ AQ is possibly a more decisive factor predicting their classroom management than their extroversion/introversion.
