El estudio educativo de las emociones: una aproximación sociocultural

Abstract

This paper presents a research line, which has the aim of develop an Emotional Pedagogy based on the contributions from sociocultural theory and supported by empirical studies, which point towards new models and proposals for emotional coeducation. School failure, e-learning and coeducation are subjects that have been dealt with empirical studies and dissertations from this research line about emotions and education. Finally, we expose an empirical study focusing on identify emotional patterns in school failure processes. For that, we analyze autobiography discourses that are collected by a set of interviews with a procedure based on the use of photography as stimulus. This study provides the creation of an empirical indicators system to identify emotional discourses potentially harmful for educational development of human beings. This system of indicator is useful for the emotional communication in e-learning models.
