Addressing pedagogical tensions in emotional education at university
An integrative path
Keywords:
Higher education pedagogy, Emotional education, Emotional competencies, Ethics, Meditation, Self-study, Integrative approachAbstract
As higher education teachers we undertook a self-study research focused on emotional education, during two school years. The analysis of the students’ portfolios and the teachers’ fieldnotes provide evidence to problematize some tensions and challenges identified along the process, namely for integrating personal, cultural and institutional dimensions, facing the unpredictability of a participative process and opening new paths. Students valued the work centred on their own goals, the building of a personal learning project in conjunction with a class collective project, the relational practices based on an ethics of care, the diversity of mindfulness and meditation proposals, amongst others.
