<div style="text-align: JUSTIFY;"><p>As social beings, egocentrism which is a character of preschoolers needs to be encouraged and guided in order not to hinder their future socialization in their community. In that perspective, this research aims to investigate how to use outbond activity as a means to build social-emotional behaviors of preschoolers. The results show that the social and emotional behaviors of the preschoolers at the kindergarten Sekolah Alam Bandung developed fairly well. Their emotion showed their ability to identify and understand the emotion they were experiencing but not able to control it. The plan and the application were already on the right track. However, there should be improvement. Problems encountered involved teacher’s restriction of knowledge, and the skill to serve as a preschool educator as well as the outbond facilitator. It was shown that the outbond activity affected less signifacntly their social and emotional behaviors. Accordingly, it is recommended the significance of enhancing teachers’ knowledge and skills in designing, applying and evaluating the outbond activity in order to better build preschoolers’ social and emotional behaviors.</p></div>

This generic qualitative study presents the experiences of four teachers using differentiated instruction in an inner-city Jamaican primary school. The purpose was to ascertain the teachers’ understanding, perception, and the challenges they experienced with the use of differentiated instruction. The data from the four teachers revealed that they had mostly positive perceptions, possessed adequate knowledge and skills in the use of differentiated instruction, and considered it an effective strategy for pedagogy in the 21st century.

This article discusses a study that explored the way teachers perceive and describe their roles in responding to the needs of orphaned learners. The participants in the study were three secondary and two primary school teachers. The data on the teachers’ experiences were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that, although some of the teachers struggle to fulfil some of the orphaned learners’ needs, most were unable to cope with the roles of teaching and learning and care giving. The study identifies a lack of skills for supporting grieving learners and the resources needed to do so effectively. The implications of the findings are that there is a need for teacher development in terms of equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills required for pastoral care. It may also be prudent for the state to consider appointing counsellors and social workers at schools to assist teachers and orphaned learners.

The essence of the concepts “historical competence”, “civic competence”, “emotional literacy” is highlighted. It is substantiated that socio-emotional and ethical learning (SEE Learning) is based on three dimensions that correspond to the types of knowledge and competencies that SEE Learning seeks to transfer to students: awareness, empathy, involvement. Three levels of SEE Learning are characterized: personal, social, systemic. Four key learning trajectories have been identified and analyzed to facilitate the acquisition and internalization of knowledge and skills at each of the three levels of understanding at SEE Learning. It is established that educational trajectories are pedagogical components that broadly outline the ways of studying, critically evaluating and interna-lizing various topics and skills of socio-emotional and ethical learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic led educators to quickly pivot to continue teaching. Negative effects include exacerbated academic achievement gaps between SES groups, less access to health services, aggravated digital divides, widened academic achievement gaps, and enormously interrupted the education processes. Positive changes include educator optimism for digital portfolios, simulated lesson planning, and delivery; supports for social-emotional engagement; seamless transitions to remote learning; and seeing recalcitrant individuals revise and adapt teaching formats, relationship-building, increased quality online education, and motivation to try innovations. Relational humanity is an integral part of the faculty-student relationship; showing students they matter as humans and deepening relationships with them is a humanitarian act. The pivot forced variations, created disequilibrium, celebrated innovations, and yielded creative delivery models. Faculty are now re-examining their content and delivery in the spirit of creating an improved student experience for all modalities of instruction.

Humans express loyalty to consumer brands much like they do in human relationships. The neuroactive chemical oxytocin is an important biological substrate of human attachment and this study tested whether consumer-brand relationships can be influenced by oxytocin administration. We present a mathematical model of brand attachment that generates empirically-testable hypotheses. The model is tested by administering synthetic oxytocin or placebo to male and female participants (N = 77) who received information about brands and had an opportunity to purchase branded products. We focused on two brand personality dimensions: warmth and competence. Oxytocin increased perceptions of brand competence but not brand warmth relative to placebo. We also found that participants were willing to pay more for branded products through its effect on brand competence. When writing about one’s favorite brands, oxytocin enhanced the use of positive emotional language as well as words related to family and friends. These findings provide preliminary evidence that consumers build relationships with brands using the biological mechanisms that evolved to form human attachments.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.

Abstract We identify the significance and typical requirements of developmental analyses of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) in parents, offspring, and parent-offspring relations, which have particular importance for neurobehavioral outcomes in mammalian species, including humans. We call for a focus on behavioral measures of social-emotional function. Methodological approaches to interpreting relations between the microbiota and behavior are discussed.
