Description
Despite the growing recognition of emotional intelligence's importance in adult learning, educational approaches often overlook its critical role. Traditional methods focus heavily on cognitive outcomes, neglecting the affective domain crucial for effective learning and skill development. This oversight leaves learners ill-equipped to navigate the emotional challenges inherent in the learning process, hindering their ability to achieve transformative growth.
The book, Utilizing Emotional Experience for Best Learning Design Practices, offers a comprehensive solution to this problem by drawing on extensive research and practical experience. It argues that emotional intelligence should be at the forefront of educational design. It provides insights, models, and strategies for integrating emotional learning goals into instructional design, enabling educators to create more supportive and effective learning environments.
