Feelings and Emotion-Based Learning

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of academic learning theories and cognitive research, the book advocates for a feelings and emotion-based approach to understanding human learning behavior. Jennifer A. Hawkins emphasizes that individuals' feelings are rational from their perspectives and should be recognized in educational contexts. Through case studies and empirical data, the text illustrates how acknowledging emotions enhances motivation, self-reflection, and cognitive problem-solving, while also offering methods for recording and analyzing these feelings in research.
