Adolescence is a challenging and dynamic period due to hormonal, physical, emotional, cognitive and social changes. Aggression in any form, if present, or its manifestations is linked to various psychosocial maladjustments or mental disorders and are negatively associated with prosocial behavior and adaptive social functioning, especially during adolescence. It may also be a red ag sign for development of mental disorders. One factor that buffers against aggression during adolescence is empathy. Emotional intelligence and empathy are considered key components of emotional education by developing young people's capacity to successfully cope with the pressures of life and demands of their stressful environment. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is one such interventional program that focuses on these issues and helps in improving empathy and decreasing aggression in adolescents. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2012) denes SEL as “the process of acquiring the skills to recognize and manage emotions, develop caring and concern for others, make responsible decisions, establish positive relationships, and handle challenging situations effectively." In this pilot study 80 students from an English medium school were taken. Using three questionnaires, aggression and empathy of students were measured pre SEL intervention. After twelve sessions of SEL intervention, the aggression and empathy was again measured using the same questionnaires to nd out if there is a difference between the pre and the post scores. Most of the aggression and anger came down post SEL intervention. It was also found to have signicant difference in pre and post intervention ratings of empathy. The signicant difference in pre and post intervention ratings of aggression as well as empathy led to conclude the efcacy and effectiveness of the SEL intervention.

Adolescence is a challenging and dynamic period due to hormonal, physical, emotional, cognitive and social changes. Aggression in any form, if present or its manifestations is linked to various psychosocial maladjustments or mental disorders and is negatively associated with pro social behavior and adaptive social functioning, especially during adolescence. It may also be a red ag sign for development of mental disorders. It has been reported in many studies throughout the world that, aggressive behaviors are common in schools. One factor that buffers against aggression during adolescence is empathy. Emotional intelligence and empathy are considered key components of emotional education by developing young people's capacity to successfully cope with the pressures of life and demands of their stressful environment. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is one such interventional program that focuses on these issues and helps in improving empathy and decreasing aggression in adolescents. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2012) denes SEL as the process of acquiring the skills to recognize and manage emotions, develop caring and concern for others, make responsible decisions, establish positive relationships, and handle challenging situations effectively. Effective SEL programming begins in preschool and continues through high school. SEL improves student attitudes and beliefs about self, others, school and community. There is a growing awareness in the U.S. and European countries among educators and policymakers about the importance of social and emotional development for successful student performance. Also many studies and research on SELintervention in school curriculum has reported that that SELintervention has decreased anger, aggression and has improved empathy. In a way to sum up SELhelps in the holistic development of a student and prepares them to become responsible adults.

Education systems worldwide have long sought ways to engage and support learners to become self-directed and develop 21st-century skills. This became even more relevant—and crucial—with the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Solutions to help formal education systems establish innovative pedagogies and methods to organize learning can be found in places as unpredictable as nonformal education settings. In this study, I interviewed educators with backgrounds in nonformal education to better understand that system’s qualities and how they can be transferred into formal settings. Findings regarding practices include teachers prioritizing instructional choice (voluntarism); addressing social-emotional aspects through diverse teaching methods that emphasize students’ active learning and real-life experiences (classroom as a social group); and excelling in dialogue and teamwork to sustain solid interpersonal relationships with students and colleagues (relationships and dialogue). Educators working in nonformal settings often know they have a unique collection of difficult-to-articulate abilities. This research presents the voices of youth movement leaders in Israel, who nonformally have been doing what formal educators worldwide are trying to figure out; defines some of their skills; and explores how those skills can be applied in formal settings. This study has been published as a book in Hebrew in 2020. This paper embodies a few aspects of the study and will benefit formal education leaders and practitioners who seek to incorporate methods from nonformal pedagogies.
