❤All learning is emotional.❤

When we are in a positive emotional state, we are more likely to be engaged, attentive, and motivated to learn. Positive emotions such as joy, interest, and curiosity can help us approach new tasks with enthusiasm and open-mindedness, which can lead to better learning outcomes.

On the other hand, negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and frustration can hinder our ability to learn. These emotions can make us feel overwhelmed, distracted, and resistant to new information, which can lead to poor learning outcomes.

One way that emotions impact learning is through our physiological response. When we are in a heightened emotional state, our bodies become more aware, and this can affect our ability to process information. For example, if we are feeling anxious or stressed, our bodies may produce stress hormones, which can make it difficult for us to concentrate and remember new information.

Emotions can also impact learning through our cognitive processes. For example, if we are feeling happy and interested, we are more likely to engage in deep processing, which involves thinking critically about new information and making connections to our prior knowledge. On the other hand, if we are feeling negative emotions, we may engage in surface processing, which involves simply memorizing new information without fully understanding it.

Emotions can impact learning through our social interactions. When we are in a positive emotional state, we are more likely to be open to feedback and willing to collaborate with others, which can enhance our learning experiences. On the other hand, if we are feeling negative emotions, we may be more resistant to feedback and less likely to collaborate, which can hinder our learning.

Many classroom teachers have started to use ‘morning meetings’ or ‘restorative circles’ in which they help students understand their emotions. In this way, they can help students’ well-being and their learning. This routine can also create a sense of belonging and connectedness within a community, which can lead to a more positive and supportive learning environment.
