Does Social Emotional Learning (SEL) bring results
Research conducted by UNESCO and directed by the Chilean sociologist Juan Casassus, in 14 Latin American countries and involving 54,000 students, proves that emotional education is the most important variable in order for students to learn more and better. It was ascertained that the average grade performance of students improved 36% in languages and 46% in math.
Richard D. Roberts, a doctor in philosophy and psychology, and presently one of the leading experts in the evaluation of personality and emotional education, asserts that the probability of the student who has received emotional education becoming involved with crime decreased considerably, scholastic performance improved and truancy rates fell. To prevent young people from dropping out of school and entering the world of crime, we create healthy, productive and creative citizens.
According to Mark Greenberg, a psychologist and professor of human development, the scholastic success of the student is built from the development of a favorable emotional climate at the school, where there is cooperation and friendly relationships.
Mark Brackett, a researcher from Yale University, USA, declares that emotions can both optimize and inhibit the skill to learn.

“To overcome lack of discipline, there is a need to look into which of the children’s emotions the school has not yet been able to fathom out.”
