Social and Emotional Learning: A Literature Review from Islamic Perspective

Abstract

Through the process of social and emotional learning (SEL), both adults and children can learn the abilities needed to comprehend and control their emotions, form wholesome relationships, and make moral decisions. From an Islamic standpoint, social and emotional learning is regarded as a vital part of a comprehensive education since it aids in the development of the moral and ethical compass required to lead a happy and purposeful life. This paper aims to examine SEL from an Islamic perspective through the relevant scientific literature. The advantages of SEL for people as individuals, families, and communities are also covered in the review. Growing attention has been shown in the application of SEL to enhance character education in recent years. Through the SEL process, both adults and children can learn the skills needed to recognize and control their emotions, form wholesome relationships, and make moral decisions. It is a comprehensive method that takes into account the behavioral, affective, and cognitive facets of learning. The study of Islamic principles, practices, and beliefs is included in the wide field of Islamic religious education (IRE). It is a crucial component of many Muslim children's and youths' education. Since IRE instills in pupils the value of honesty, compassion, forgiveness, and other virtues, it can be a potent instrument for fostering character development.
