Students’ Emotions in Learning Contexts

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue of Education Sciences, titled Students’ Emotions in Learning Contexts. Research tells us that emotions matter – for attention, memory and learning, for relationships, for decision-making, and for students’ health and overall well-being. Increasingly, researchers and practitioners alike have focused on the emotional needs of students within various learning contexts, and the implementation of social and emotional learning (SEL) programming. This Special Issue aims to advance scientific research on students’ emotions within learning contexts. For the purposes of this call, we define learning contexts as home, formal (school, in and out of school time) and informal (museums, games, and social networks) and welcome studies speaking to in-person, virtual, and hybrid experiences of emotions.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics may include (but are not limited to):

• How students feel in learning contexts, especially in light of current events, or specific to a particular context or special population.
• The role of students’ emotions on academic achievement, school adjustment, or other relevant learning context outcomes.
• Research on emotion skills training or interventions that take place within learning contexts.
• Novel assessments or methods for understanding students’ emotions in learning contexts.
• Creative approaches to promoting student emotional well-being in diverse learning contexts.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
