Moreover, a complementary phenomenon named as evocative biography emerged from teacher’s accounts and the data. This provides information about the children´s background and reflects the interactive essence of gratitude. The study provides support and insight about the idea that gratitude in the school environment has meaning in its own right, thus deserving attention in order to provide suggestions on how to help students to identify, feel and express gratitude. ...
