Inserida no Ciclo de de Conferências do Ispa, a palestra de Maja Ljubetić e Toni Maglica – SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL LEARNING – children/students/teachers debruça-se sobre os benefícios da aprendizagem socioemocional para as crianças/alunos e professores.

Extensive and recent scientific literature of the last decade intensively studies the benefits of social-emotional learning (SEL) for children/students and teachers, as well as the educational system and society as a whole. The direct benefits are related not only to the increased academic success of children/students, but also to their personal development, self-confidence, relationship-building skills, teamwork and active citizenship, and the reduction of destructive and self-destructive behaviors. At the same time, the positive effects of SEL are also noticeable among educators/teachers because they reduce the feeling of professional burnout. Although educational policy and legal regulations in the Republic of Croatia enable and encourage the implementation of SEL programs with the aim of acquiring and strengthening socio-emotional competences (SEC) of students, it still seems that SEL programs are insufficiently represented in the educational process. Sporadic interventions from the field of SEL in the teaching process are considered insufficient for its improvement, as well as the desired outcomes for children/students. The solution can be seen in the enrichment of the education curriculum of educators/teachers/professional associates that would enable them to acquire SEC during their formal education and sensitize them to the application of SEL in future pedagogical practice.
In the lecture, the SEC dimensions of teachers and students will be emphasized. The need to create a context that enables SEL and the acquisition of SEC will be emphasized too.
