Influences and Implications of Affective Neuroscience in Children's Learning and Education
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v4i1.674
Abstract
Recent research of affective neuroscience has shown that human emotion derives from neural network and system. How individuals feel, express and moderate emotions are grounded by affective neuroscience. However, the influences of affective neuroscience and emotions are usually neglected by educators in children education. Based on the brain as a platform, emotion is tightly associated with attention, motivation and cognition, influencing children's learning process. Emotion involves in the process of evaluating, reasoning and analyzing, which means different emotions used in learning may result in different performance. Thus, educators should focus more on the function of emotion in children education. Besides, "emotional thinking" can help educators understand that emotional and cognitive factors are interwoven, which interplay on learning. Therefore, affective neuroscience helps teachers and parents better understand the way in children's learning and cognitive process.
