児童の感情リテラシーは教育しうるか─発達のアウトラインと支援のありかた─

抄録

School prevention and intervention programs such as Social Emotional Learning, which includes children’s sociability and emotional development, is a universal support system introduced to schools that is designed to prevent various potential crises and problems at school. These guidelines aim not only to support the positive effects of these programs on children and school staff, but also to establish a positive school climate where everyone feels unconstrained. Therefore, these are universal approaches that improve the natural healing powers inherent in the school and the school’s immune system itself from preventing all school crises, in the metaphorical sense of the word. However, in order to guarantee actual effectiveness, knowledge pertaining to the development of emotional literacy is an indispensable part of the children’s fundamental curriculum. When and in what way will children either learn or be taught how to understand and express one’s emotions as well as the emotions of others will become evidence of the guidelines’ efficacy. At the same time, there must be a plan in place to assess the practical effectiveness of the methods for the children. This manuscript, under the heading of “well-being,” alludes to the importance of emotional literacy for children and anticipates the development of effective education in order to establish and maintain the healthier school climate.
