Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The link between emotion and culture are fundamental aspects in the teaching and learning processes; however, the knowledge of families and students belonging to minority cultures has been kept out of school education, denying their own socio-cultural knowledge in the educational field and on the emotional level, and this denial translates into the reproduction of a monocultural educational perspective that legitimizes Eurocentric Western knowledge. In this sense, emotional education is fundamental in school, since it is a continuous process that integrates an ideal knowledge of feeling in particular social contexts. This also includes pedagogical practices in education associated with emotional regulation, which requires a high level of sensitivity to one’s own and students’ emotions and facilitates interpersonal relationship processes in school classrooms. However, there is a lack of teacher training in emotional education, which has resulted in the possible impossibility of transmitting aspects related to emotions, affecting the comprehensive education of their students. In summary, for the development of an education focused on the integral education of students, teachers must recognize and make visible the diverse knowledge associated with the socio-cultural characteristics of students, not only considering the universal knowledge regarding emotion, but also the cultural knowledge associated with the emotional ideal and the appropriate emotional behavior of all students according to their culture of belonging.
