Empathy through education

Note4Students

From UPSC perspective, the following things are important :

Prelims level: Not much

Mains level: Paper 2-SEL

Context

While the National Education Policy (2020) notes numeracy and literacy as its central aims, Social and Emotional Learning should be an equally important goal as it supports skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.

What is social and emotional learning (SEL)?

  • SEL is the process of learning to recognise and manage emotions and navigate social situations effectively.
  • SEL is foundational for human development, building healthy relationships, having self and social awareness, solving problems, making responsible decisions, and academic learning.
  • Neurobiologically, various brain regions such as the prefrontal and frontal cortices, amygdala, and superior temporal sulcus are involved in the cognitive mechanisms of SEL.
  • Brain systems that are responsible for basic human behaviour, such as getting hungry, may be reused for complex mechanisms involved in SEL.
  • Despite its importance to life, SEL is often added as a chapter in a larger curriculum rather than being integrated in it.
  • The pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges for SEL as school closures reduced opportunities for students to deepen social relationships and learn collaboratively in shared physical spaces.
  • Even with parental involvement, the challenge of an inadequate support system for SEL remains.

Way forward

  • Perhaps we can contextually adapt best practices from existing models.
  • A starting point would be to consider insights from the Indian SEL framework:
  • One, the application of SEL practices should be based on students’ socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • Two, SEL strategies of caretakers and educators must align with one another.
  • Three, long-term success requires SEL to be based on scientific evidence.

Conclusion

As a sustainable development goal outlines, policymakers now have to ensure that future changes prioritise “inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” Importantly, the onus lies on all of us to make individual contributions that will drive systemic change.

Personally, I’ve been seeking for a firm that can assist me with writing a variety of written projects, such as term papers, research papers, and essays, for quite some time. These essay writing services reviews offers information on the authors of such works, their pricing lists, and a review of this author, assisted me in resolving this problem. It aided me in my search for a true business professional.

Since an essay is close to a work of fiction in its genre, the presentation of https://bestessaysservices.com/ someone else’s thoughts in it may be more artistic than in essays or theses.

Education depends on the desire and strength of the students. But unfortunately this is not enough when you are faced with a large number of tasks in all subjects. I found a site essaywritinglab.co.uk and learned about a service that performs tasks of varying complexity. After that, it became easier for me to study at the university. And I began to study those subjects in which I did not have time.
