This volume examines the question of whether the central educational goals of promoting cognitive development on the one hand and socio-emotional development on the other are in conflict, or whether they can support each other under certain conditions. For a long time, research and teaching have focused strongly on cognitive development, with the aim of equipping all learners with basic academic competencies. However, the (intentional) fostering of socio-emotional aspects is becoming increasingly important.This book discusses the compatibility of these two educational goals from various disciplinary perspectives. The contributors are internationally selected experts from Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.
The free availability of the e-book edition of this publication was made possible by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, the “Specialised Information Service for Educational Science and Research (FID)”, and a network of scientific institutions and libraries promoting open access in the educational sciences.
Many thanks to Anne C. Frenzel, Thomas Götz, Sara Rimm-Kaufman, Florian Schmiedek, Ricarda Steinmayr, Elsbeth Stern, and Carmen Zurbriggen for their contributions.
