The value of sustaining an open and positive classroom climate for students’ cognitive, social, and emotional development is well documented in educational research. At the same time, the notion of ‘classroom climate’ remains nebulous and hard to define.
In this event, Elisabet will explore these themes by discerning some of the meanings of classroom climate in educational research, and by drawing on Martin Heidegger’s phenomenology of Stimmung (Eng. mood) and Rita Felski’s work on affective attunement in literary studies.
This event will be particularly useful for for researchers of philosophy of education and classroom teachers.
