The Role of Social-Emotional Learning in Comprehensive Student Development: A Case Study of Educational Transformation in Singapore
Abstract
In the context of globalization and rapid advancements in information technology, traditional education models are no longer sufficient to meet modern society’s demand for well-rounded talents. As a paragon of educational innovation, Singapore has implemented Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs aimed at comprehensively enhancing students’ overall development. This paper explores the positive effects of SEL on students’ academic performance, mental health, interpersonal relationships, and social skills, using Singapore as an example.
It also provides specific recommendations for implementing SEL to maximize its benefits for holistic student development.
