The Interplay of Emotion and Cognition in Adult Learning: Learning Engages Emotion Alongside Cognition
Abstract
Learning holistically engages emotion and cognition, yet education often overlooks affective processes. This chapter explores their dynamic interplay through a comprehensive literature review examining theories on how emotions shape learning. The aims are to establish an evidence-based framework emphasizing the intentional integration of factors like motivation, curiosity, and self-efficacy with cognitive objectives in instructional design. The methodology includes synthesizing foundational theories and empirical studies, then exemplifying transformative potential through case studies demonstrating enhanced engagement and holistic development when addressing emotions. Results reveal that emotions can enable adults to take risks, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful change through learning. Also, emotion and cognition are fundamentally intertwined; practical pedagogical approaches must integrate intellectual to unlock human potential. The chapter proposes an Emotional Learning Design framework for an impactful education through person-centered humanistic instructional practices.
