Emotional Learning
Emotional Learning, often referred to as Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), is the process through which individuals, especially children, learn to understand and manage their emotions. It involves developing skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and effective communication. These skills help individuals navigate social situations and build positive relationships.
In educational settings, SEL programs aim to create a supportive environment where students can express their feelings and learn to cope with challenges. Research shows that effective emotional learning can lead to improved academic performance, better behavior, and enhanced mental health, benefiting both students and teachers.
