Emotional Education: A Selective Literature Review and an Emerging Model

This paper presents the concept of emotional education (EE) as one of the majorchallenges to the field of formal education. We posit that the main confusion about andlack of promotion of EE in most formal education settings stems from the lack of acoherent, consistent model that allows the asking of questions and that applies theconcept in research and practice.We review the literature on EE and present new perspectives from which a newdevelopmental model emerges, one that may help propel both research and educationalpractice in various settings.
