Rethinking school. Social and Emotional Learning: A systemic approach to consider
Francesca Napoletano - napoletano@unisal.it
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all systems on a global level, including the educational one, and has rekindled the debate on how to reorganize the school so that it responds to the needs of an ever more integral formation and allows us to face every situation of life. The article sets out the reasons why Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), as a systemic approach, could support and substantiate this integral formation. We will consider the theoretical bases from which it draws and the historical contingencies that have promoted it, the socio-emotional skills to be developed and the short and long-term research evidence that supports and substantiates the need for the implementation of the SEL.
