social, emotional, learning, education systemAbstract
Socio-emotional learning (SEL) is an educational approach that supports and enhances the social and emotional growth of students. However, the current education system is facing challenges in preparing students not just for academic success but also for personal and societal accomplishment. The objective of this study is to analyse the material related to SEL inside the current education system. This study utilises a content analysis of current literature and resources pertaining to SEL within the current education system. The following are some key elements that can help maintain SEL in present education system, which are: (a) emotional and physical safety; (b) mindfulness and self-regulation; (c) family and community engagement; and (d) assessment and evaluation. Ultimately, the essential components of emotional and physical security, mindfulness and self-control, involvement of families and communities, and assessment and evaluation are vital for maintaining SEL in educational settings. While there is a growing body of evidence that supports the benefits of SEL in schools, there are still several areas that require further examination.
