SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING IN SPECIAL EDUCATION: PROMOTION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INCLUSION

Abstract

Drawing upon insights from diverse disciplines including psychology, neuroscience, and social sciences, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has a well-established foundation. SEL covers crucial competencies and attitudes necessary for children to exhibit appropriate behavior in social settings. This includes skills such as collaboration, effective interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation, empathy, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills. According to Berman, these skills are integral to the development of social awareness and contribute to the enhanced productivity of a nation.
