By integrating research from psychology, philosophy, sociology, and feminist theory about educating emotions, this book covers a range of pedagogies and practices in schools. Suitable for teachers, school leaders, and educational researchers, it explores the cultural aspects of teaching about emotions, character education, and related strategies.
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.
