Social emotional learning in physical education: how to build the mental and physical capacity of learners?

Abstract

This article aimed to provide information related to social emotional learning in physical education as an effort to build the mental and physical capacity of students. The method used in this article is a literature review. Data collection for literature review was carried out with the Taylor and Francis data base search tool as the main source in finding articles with keywords social emotional learning and physical education. Search results based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, then from 42 articles only 6 articles match the topic of the article. According to the analysis's findings, socio-emotional learning focuses primarily on teachings that emphasize basic abilities including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relational skills, and responsible decision-making. Students can learn to identify and control their emotions, create healthy relationships, set objectives that are worthwhile, fulfil their own and others' needs, make ethical judgments, and solve problems by including social-emotional learning into physical education. The results of this article's literature review are expected to increase readers' insight into social-emotional learning and physical education for students and can be used as a theoretical basis for further research.
