Recognizing the Value and Challenges of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in Local Educational Practices

Liao Shiyan

Abstract: This study examines the value and challenges of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) within local educational practices, focusing on its integration into the Chinese education system. The paper discusses SEL's theoretical foundation and core competencies, highlighting its role in promoting equity, social responsibility, and a positive school climate. Despite these benefits, challenges such as cultural adaptation, resource limitations, and insufficient teacher training hinder its implementation. Strategic recommendations, including policy frameworks, teacher training, and curriculum design, are proposed to enhance SEL's localization and broader application, ultimately fostering students' holistic development.
