Adolescence is a challenging and dynamic period due to hormonal, physical, emotional, cognitive and social changes. Aggression in any form, if present, or its manifestations is linked to various psychosocial maladjustments or mental disorders and are negatively associated with prosocial behavior and adaptive social functioning, especially during adolescence. It may also be a red ag sign for development of mental disorders. One factor that buffers against aggression during adolescence is empathy. Emotional intelligence and empathy are considered key components of emotional education by developing young people's capacity to successfully cope with the pressures of life and demands of their stressful environment. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is one such interventional program that focuses on these issues and helps in improving empathy and decreasing aggression in adolescents. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2012) denes SEL as “the process of acquiring the skills to recognize and manage emotions, develop caring and concern for others, make responsible decisions, establish positive relationships, and handle challenging situations effectively." In this pilot study 80 students from an English medium school were taken. Using three questionnaires, aggression and empathy of students were measured pre SEL intervention. After twelve sessions of SEL intervention, the aggression and empathy was again measured using the same questionnaires to nd out if there is a difference between the pre and the post scores. Most of the aggression and anger came down post SEL intervention. It was also found to have signicant difference in pre and post intervention ratings of empathy. The signicant difference in pre and post intervention ratings of aggression as well as empathy led to conclude the efcacy and effectiveness of the SEL intervention.

Social-emotional skills are essential for navigating the rapidly evolving world, especially for students who will become the makers and doers of tomorrow. The literature suggests that a technology-driven shift in needs is fueling a skills gap within a workforce needing social-emotional competencies. These shifts have grown the need for students to develop their social-emotional skills for professional and personal success. Experts suggest infusing social and emotional learning (SEL) in career and technical education (CTE) to address this. This study documents and explores a strategy for explicit SEL in CTE at Clark County School District in Nevada, USA during the 2019-2020 school year. Usage and student answers suggest promising value of SEL in CTE for student learning, but a need to better support teacher adoption. Findings from this study contribute preliminary guidance on program development and implementation upon which future educators and researchers can build.

A mixed-methods study of a large social-emotional learning (SEL) program revealed notable disparities in the ways that teachers and students perceived the program’s impact. Teachers believed the initiative empowered students, while the students themselves described the program as one that emphasized compliance. Madora Soutter summarizes her findings and offers three recommendations for teachers and administrators implementing social and emotional learning initiatives: Evaluate the intention behind SEL programming to avoid a deficit mindset; anticipate implementation roadblocks, such as the tension between some SEL programs and the inherent power dynamics in schools; and actively, authentically listen to students.

Intervention Mapping Protocol

Summary Adolescents in Panama face multiple barriers that affect their health, such as high rates of teenage pregnancy, increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and sexual violence. Equal relationships between women and men are likely to reduce such risks. Here, we suggest that the school-based enhancement of Social and Emotional Learning core competencies—awareness of self and others, positive attitudes and values, responsible decision-making, and social interaction skills—could foster positive changes in behaviors between boys and girls, specifically through a focus on equal roles, equal rights in relationships and nonviolent problem solving. This paper, using the Intervention Mapping Protocol, describes the process of development of, and planning surrounding the implementation and evaluation of the program ‘Me and My new World’, a Social Emotional Learning intervention for middle school students (12–15 years old) in Panama. Program development was based on a needs assessment (Araúz Ledezma et al. (2020) Behavioural and environmental influences on adolescent decision making in personal relationships: a qualitative multi–stakeholder exploration in Panama. Health Education Research, 35, 1–14.) and a literature review of theory- and evidence-based Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)-programs. Intervention outcomes, performance objectives and change objectives of the intervention were identified. The practical applications of different theory-based methods allowed for contextual considerations that could potentially influence the expected behavioral outcomes of the intervention. Teachers were the implementers of the program, and during development, implementation, and evaluation, the roles, opinions, and teaching methods of all stakeholders were recognized. We conclude that Intervention Mapping allows for the analysis of multiple factors influencing the development and implementation of Social Emotional Learning programs promoting equal relationships among adolescents in a developing country, with a special consideration of culture, educational systems, and policies, from a capability development perspective.

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) adopted a set of three standards for social and emotional learning (SEL) in August 2018. In doing so, they have paved the way for explicit instruction in and assessment of 21st-century skills. The three-goal framework selected by NYSED (2018) is modeled after the five competencies of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2018). The authors are overjoyed by this movement to promote dual objective learning (Vermette & Kline, 2017) targeting affective and cognitive goals, but are hesitant to use the CASEL (2018) framework for such SEL standards. Prior to NYSED’s (2018) adoption of the new standards, the authors championed the use of Costa and Kallick’s 16 Habits of Mind (2000) as the best dispositional framework. Now, however, the authors argue that cross-walking the Habits of Mind (Costa & Kallick, 2000) to the CASEL (2018) competencies unlocks previously untapped potentials of both frameworks. This article outlines how such an overlap between the frameworks can be achieved, and proposes how the Habits of Mind (Costa & Kallick, 2000) can be directly used by the students as evidence of their development of the competencies.

Social and emotional learning in world education are very important in human capital development. A person equipped with high social and emotional skills are able to manage daily life challenge, building positive relationship and capable to make rational decisions. Therefore, all these skills can be taught as early as preschool level to tertiary education. In order to achieve social and emotional learning in school, a teaching and learning modules are most needed. Thus, this study aims to investigate and examine the needs of modules based on teacher perspectives and the use of existing module such as PATHS and Second Step. The source for the articles obtained are available online from the Google Scholar, Elsevier, MyCite, and ERIC and the collected data were analyzed thematically. This study found that the social and emotional learning modules were needed to increase pupils’ social and emotional competency, academic improving, problematic behavior changing and as learning instruction resources. Future studies in systematic literature analysis can be conducted by focusing in qualitative method, school administration and parents as respondents and others social and emotional learning modules mentioned in this study.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine Conscious Discipline’s (CD) Parenting Education Curriculum (CD PEC), the parenting component of CD’s research-based social and emotional learning program. CD aims to change child behavior by changing how adults understand and manage their own behaviors and emotions. Researchers explored CD PEC’s association with improved parenting skills, parent–child relationships and child behavior and emotion management. Design/methodology/approach During pre- and post-site visits, parents in four Head Start programs completed the Attentive Parenting Survey (n=25) and interviews (n=19); and 20 staff were also interviewed. Findings Parents reported that CD PEC shifted their perspectives and practices for managing children’s challenging behaviors, improved parent–child relationships and resulted in decreased child behavior problems. Research limitations/implications The study was correlational, based on self-report, and had a small sample with no comparison group. Practical implications This study supports CD PEC as a means of shifting parenting practices, relationships and child behavior by focusing on adult social-emotional skills and self-regulation. Social implications This study provides preliminary evidence that addressing the social-emotional needs of adults is a viable step to helping children improve their social skills, emotion regulation and general behavior, which have all been linked to later academic and life success. Originality/value The paper studies improvements in parents’ emotion recognition and self-regulation before disciplining their children.
