Impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Intervention on Emotion Expression and Management

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) underscores the importance of SEL to ensure holistic development of children and states that the education system must aim to “develop good human beings capable of rational thought and action, possessing compassion and empathy”. Several studies have shown the impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) intervention on the ability to express and ability to manage emotions do contribute to holistic development of children, their academic as well as behavioural skills. This research has been done to understand the impact of SEL intervention on emotion management and expression. The target population is children aged 10-15 years. Understanding the impact of SEL intervention on emotion expression and management will aid to improve SEL intervention design and implementation in schools.
