In recent years, innovative schools have developed courses in what
has been termed emotional literacy, emotional intelligence, or
emotional competence. This volume evaluates these developments
scientifically, pairing the perspectives of psychologists with
those of educators who offer valuable commentary on the latest
research. It is an authoritative study that describes the
scientific basis for our knowledge about emotion as it relates
specifically to children, the classroom environment, and emotional
literacy.Key topics include: historical perspectives on emotional
intelligence neurological bases for emotional development the
development of social skills and childhood socialization of
emotion. Experts in psychology and education have long viewed
thinking and feeling as polar opposites reason on the one hand, and
passion on the other. And emotion, often labeled as chaotic,
haphazard, and immature, has not traditionally been seen as
assisting reason.All that changed in 1990, when Peter Salovey and
John D. Mayer coined the term emotional intelligence as a challenge
to the belief that intelligence is not based on processing
emotion-laden information. Salovey and Mayer defined emotional
intelligence as the ability to monitor one's own and others'
feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use
motivated scientists, educators, parents, and many others to
consider the ways in which emotions themselves comprise an
intelligent system.With this ground-breaking volume, invited
contributors present cutting-edge research on emotions and
emotional development in a manner useful to educators,
psychologists, and anyone interested in the unfolding of emotions
during childhood. In recent years, innovative schools have
developed courses in emotional literacy" that making these classes
teach children how to understand and manage their feelings and how
to get along with one another. Many such programs have achieved
national prominence, and preliminary scientific evaluations have
shown promising results.Until recently, however, there has been
little contact between educators developing these types of programs
and psychologists studying the neurological underpinnings and
development of human emotions. This unique book links theory and
practice by juxtaposing scientific explanations of emotion with
short commentaries from educators who elabourate on how these
advances can be put to use in the classroom.Accessible and
enlightening, Emotional Development and Emotional Intelligence
provides ample evidence about emotional intelligence as well as
sound information on the potential efficacy of educational programs
based on this idea.
