SEL RESEARCH AND PRACTICE. As the acquisition of social and emotional skills is crucial for healthy youth development, educators are now more aware of the importance of SEL skills and practices (Zins et al., Citation 2007).A number of evidence-based programs have been developed to teach student SEL skills (Domitrovich et al., Citation 2017), which have been linked to positive student outcomes ...
As more SEL research is inclusive of adults, community/cultural issues, and not solely educational contexts, this framework can aid in evaluating, comparing, and contrasting programming without implementation barriers. With consistent definitions and a fundamental understanding of the natural progression of skill-building in social–emotional ...
Supporting students’ SEL is an evidence-based approach to mitigating these problems by enhancing students' social and emotional skills, resiliency, and academic success (Cipriano et al., 2023, Blewitt et al., 2018). This article focused on how to optimally teach SEL, including what may support and what may detract from effective SEL.
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an educational model for improving social-emotional competences of all students and a long-term education program connecting school, home, and community. Although there has been active research to establish evidence-based practice (EBP) of SEL programs worldwide, the quality of SEL intervention studies which is an integral part of evaluating EBP was rarely ...
Implementation matters for SEL intervention effectiveness. More than two decades of meta-analytic research documents the effectiveness of social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions for improving social-emotional competencies and longer-term academic outcomes, behavioral functioning, and mental health (Durlak et al., 2011, 2022; Jones et al., 2021; Cipriano et al., 2023).
Reinforcing What We Know About SEL. Building on decades of research that demonstrated positive results of SEL, this study confirmed that students who participated in SEL programs do better in school, academically and socially. Students demonstrated increased academic achievement and school functioning including improved attendance and ...
Whether research is collected and released for the public through peer-reviewed publications or reports, books, news articles, or blogs, we as researchers have a responsibility to report on how USB SEL interventions are designed and implemented as well as if and how program effects vary for students with varying cultural, linguistic, social ...

The benefits of SEL are well-researched, with evidence demonstrating that an education that promotes SEL yields positive results for students, adults, and school communities. SEL has a powerful combination of evidence and support. The findings below come from multiple fields and sources and includes analyses of hundreds of studies that show SEL leads to beneficial outcomes related to: social ...
Our research methodology prioritizes gathering authentic perspectives from diverse cultural contexts. We employ qualitative strategies that enable community members and educators to shape our understanding of how SEL manifests in their specific contexts (Santos, 2018; Sultana, 1992).This approach recognizes that effective research must be grounded in local experiences, while facilitating ...
Research has demonstrated that social-emotional learning (SEL) positively influences myriad domains of children's development. However, the underlying mechanisms influencing teachers' adoption of SEL remain underexplored. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), this quantitative cross-secti …
