9. Dortmunder Symposium der Empirischen Bildungsforschung „Socio-emotional and cognitive development in learning: educational goals in competition?!“

Herausgeberband zur Tagung

Buchcover mit dem Titel "Socio-emotional and cognitive development in learning" und einer Gruppe Grundschüler*innen darunter abgebildet © Waxmann

This volume examines the question of whether the central educational goals of promoting cognitive development on the one hand and socio-emotional development on the other are in conflict, or whether they can support each other under certain conditions. For a long time, research and teaching have focused strongly on cognitive development, with the aim of equipping all learners with basic academic competencies. However, the (intentional) fostering of socio-emotional aspects is becoming increasingly important. This book discusses the compatibility of these two educational goals from various disciplinary perspectives. The contributors are internationally selected experts from Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.
