Abstract
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a dominant orthodoxy in education systems around the world. To many it is a panacea. To others it is a waste of time and resources. This seminar will provide an in-depth and balanced examination of the critical issues pervading the field. Each substantive aspect of SEL - definitions and conceptualization, origins and influences, international policy and practice, assessment and monitoring, implementation and outcomes – will be examined through a critical lens. I will highlight key strengths and significant flaws in SEL theory and research, and consider the priorities for the next generation of inquiry in the field. I hope the talk will be of interest to anyone concerned with the role played by schools in promoting children’s social and emotional wellbeing.
Series This talk is part of the Psychology & Education series.
