Summary: "Emotions fundamentally shape our experiences and interactions. Yet the role of emotions in moral and social life is contested, from an interdisciplinary view. In relation, how emotions are involved in education has been a subject of scrutiny and debate, in the history of education, and across diverse cultural and social contexts. This book explores from a fresh perspective the intersection of emotions, social life, and education. It emphasises education of emotions as a moral process with significant interpersonal, social, and political implications. And it fleshes out a relational approach, through considering the value of various feelings and dispositions in social life and in education, such as happiness, gratitude, resilience, and anger. In this introductory chapter, I provide a preliminary discussion of the role of emotions in education. I focus on some common assumptions that readers may have about this topic.

Description and Table of Contents

Description

Educating students for emotional wellbeing is a vital task in schools. However, educating emotions is not straightforward. Emotional processes can be challenging to identify and control. How emotions are valued varies across societies, while individuals within societies face different emotional expectations. For example, girls face pressure to be happy and caring, while boys are often encouraged to be brave. This text analyses the best practices of educating emotions. The focus is not just on the psychological benefits of emotional regulation, but also on how calls for educating emotions connect to the aims of society. The book explores psychology's understanding of emotions, 'the politics of emotions', and philosophy. It also discusses education for happiness, compassion, gratitude, resilience, mindfulness, courage, vulnerability, anger, sadness, and fear.
