The Affective Domain: The Role of Emotions in Teaching and Learning

What role do emotions play in teaching and learning? This question is often ignored because people are not aware of it, or dismissed as not relevant to us as faculty members—after all, we’re teachers not therapists! Participants in this workshop will explore the role of emotions in teaching and learning and how to harness emotions to facilitate deeper learning. Faculty who participate in this workshop will be able to identify the key research findings in this area and use these findings to inform their own teaching practice. In addition, participants will explore their role in helping students rediscover the joy of learning and to recognize the relationship of emotions in the teaching and learning process. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to best create a genuine atmosphere of inquiry.
