Abstract
How to
Promote Emotional Engagement in Learning
While
engagement is often associated with physical participation and cognitive
involvement, emotional engagement is also key to foster active and long-lasting
learning. Research reveals that students who feel emotionally engaged in the
learning experience enjoy discovering new learning paths, pay more attention to
their lessons, get involved and feel good in class.
This session aims to explore various ways to promote a positive emotional
learning environment in our classes.
