“…Generally, learning in the Paci c is communal, and children's physical, social and spiritual environment is their classroom (Lagi and Armstrong, 2017). Children's interaction with their elders or most knowledgeable adults and the environment contributes to the development of their SEL knowledge, skills and or intelligence (Lagi and Armstrong, 2017). Paci c children learn through practice, modelling,…”

“…Learning through practice, where an adult or most knowledgeable person sca olds the child is the most e ective way of learning (Nabobo-Baba, 2006;Nabobo-Baba et al, 2012). Moreover, learning through practice promotes cooperative learning that encourages the development of SEL (Lagi and Armstrong, 2017). For instance, when teaching a child to weave or cut toddy, the most knowledgeable adult will interact with the child through speaking and modelling how to weave or cut toddy.…”

In the process of talking and teaching, the child learns to listen and be attentive, to respect, negotiate and cooperate with the adult (Lagi and Armstrong, 2017). Furthermore, the child develops their language and thinking skills.…”

T he goal of this chapter is to assess and discuss research and knowledge concerning the signi cance of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in educational practices. The chapter rst discusses the nature of learning, which is inherently social, relational and a ective. The concept and de nitions of SEL are introduced to synthesize the debate around how social and emotional experiences interact with the learning processes. Then the development of socio-emotional skills across the lifespan with regards to neurobiological, social, and cultural factors is discussed, highlighting the important role of assessment in bringing a disciplined focus to SEL in schools. Applied research that describes interventions, programmes and policies geared towards promoting SEL and that can inform educational practices is then presented. The chapter concludes by recommending that SEL practices and policies should be responsive to context and culture, be informed by neurobiological development, and take into account educators' social and emotional capacities.

“…In fact, Torrente et al’s (2015) mapping of SEL policies in Asia revealed that SEL has gained prominence over the years to facilitate a shift from a heavy academic focus of Asian education systems to include more 21st century skills. It is worthwhile to acknowledge that this assumes an implicit prevalence of SEL competencies in national goals of education with an underlying focus on cultural consonance in these societies (Lagi & Armstrong, 2017), but explicit measurement of SEL has still been absent. It is likely that this lack of measurement is due to the paucity of culturally appropriate measurement tools.…”

Accumulating evidence of the impact of social and emotional learning (SEL) on student well-being as well as academic performance has led to an increased interest in understanding and measuring SEL in students. However, most existing measures have been developed in English and there is a paucity of culturally relevant measures in other languages. In this study, we present a short, culturally sensitive 8-item scale in Hindi entitled the Social and Emotional Learning and Orientation Scale (SELOS). Factor structure of SELOS was established through exploratory ( N=2844; Mage=14.65 years) and confirmatory factor analysis ( N=1508; Mage=14.50 years) with responses from 4352 Hindi-speaking students in India. The scale demonstrated a two-factor structure, with good reliability, discriminant validity and partial measurement invariance across gender. These results provide encouraging evidence for conducting culturally sensitive studies of SEL in India and in other Hindi-speaking parts of the world.

“…USP offers courses in a range of teaching modes including Print-based learning, Blended mode, Face-to-Face mode and Online. Pedagogically, Pacific Island students learn effectively in groups and when guided by someone (Lagi & Armstrong, 2017) so online learning posed some problems for our students. As a result of this transition, 20% of our students became inactive online and 5% withdrew from their courses.…”
