What is emotional learning?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Broadly speaking, emotional learning is the process whereby people acquire and improve the skills to recognize and manage their own emotions, also to recognize and answer properly to others\u2019<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an essential type of learning for personal and social development, as it increases one ‘s own well being and a richer relationship with others. Emotional learning is increasingly more important, not only in society, but also in education in particular. Emotional learning helps students face life challenges more effectively, and also develop stronger and more successful relationships with others, whether it is in the class or outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, recognizing and working on our emotions is a big step to healthily interact with others and the school is the ideal place where we can develop this type of learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of emotional learning in education?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Emotional learning brings significant benefits in education. We can see some below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Conflict reduction:<\/strong> students who work on emotional learning have more skills to recognize and express emotions. This contributes to conflict resolution and prevents it from getting more serious<\/strong>, as personal and others\u2019 emotions are taken into account. Thanks to conflict reduction, school harmony and atmosphere are enhanced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Academic performance improvement: <\/strong>students’ emotional self-awareness can improve their ability to stay focused and study, this contributes to a better academic performance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Development of healthy relationships:<\/strong> to recognize and appropriately answer to others\u2019 emotions help your students build significant relationships. This can contribute to their personal well being and self esteem, as this is directly related to their group belonging feeling. <\/strong>This is particularly vital in early ages and teenage years, as it is about creating new relationships outside the family unit, and these relationships will be shaping their life over the years.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Greater empathy<\/strong>: similar to what we\u2019ve seen above, your students’ ability to listen and observe others help them acknowledge their classmates’ emotions. This contributes to empathy development and more genuine relations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Greater resilience<\/strong>: resilience is the ability to adapt to a specific situation and, consequently, the overcoming of the given situation. By acknowledging the own emotions and managing them your students can be more resilient in the classroom, but also outside<\/strong>. In a changing world like ours, resilience is essential to adapt to new situations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Greater self-awareness and self-esteem<\/strong>: <\/strong>the comprehension of one\u2019s own emotions is a great way to self-awareness. Your students can comprehend how their emotions affect their behavior, thus improving their own self-cognition and boosting their self-esteem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
