Previous studies have mainly focused on the negative effects of teacher-student conflict; the positive effects of conflict have rarely been mentioned. This paper suggests that encouraging conflict could act as a teaching method to improve students' innovative competence. This study has two objectives: (1) to examine how various types of teacher-student conflict affects students' innovative competence and (2) to identify the mediating role of a psychological safety climate in the association between conflict and students' innovative competence. To achieve the objectives, we used evidence from 1207 university students. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that conflicts were associated with students' innovative competence, and the mediation role of a psychological safety climate is significant. Specifically, the results revealed that Cognitive Conflict had significant positive effects on students' innovative competence, whereas Affective Conflict had a significant negative effect on students' innovative competence. In addition, we clarified a psychological safety climate as the boundary condition for the relationship between conflict and students' innovative competence.
先前的研究主要集中在师生冲突的负面影响上,很少提及冲突的积极影响。本文提出,鼓励冲突可以作为一种教学方法,提高学生的创新能力。本研究有两个目标:(1)探讨不同类型的师生冲突如何影响学生的创新能力;(2)确定心理安全氛围在冲突与学生创新能力之间的关联中的中介作用。为了实现这些目标,我们使用了来自 1207 名大学生的证据。多变量逻辑回归分析表明,冲突与学生的创新能力有关,心理安全氛围的中介作用是显著的。具体来说,结果表明认知冲突对学生的创新能力有显著的积极影响,而情感冲突对学生的创新能力有显著的负面影响。此外,我们还澄清了心理安全氛围是冲突与学生创新能力之间关系的边界条件。
