SEL (social emotional learning) dan CASEL (collaborative academic social emotional learning )

SEL (Social Emotional Learning) refers to the process through which individuals, especially children, develop the necessary skills to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, show empathy for others, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. It typically involves five core competencies:

Self-awareness: Recognizing and understanding one's emotions and their influence on behavior.
Self-management: Regulating emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in different situations.
Social awareness: Understanding and empathizing with others' perspectives and backgrounds.
Relationship skills: Building and maintaining healthy relationships through effective communication and cooperation.
Responsible decision-making: Making choices that are ethical, constructive, and beneficial for oneself and others.
CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) is an  organization that plays a significant role in promoting SEL in educational settings. CASEL provides a framework to guide the implementation of SEL programs, and it focuses on integrating social and emotional learning into both academic and extracurricular contexts. The CASEL framework emphasizes the importance of creating supportive learning environments, fostering relationships, and embedding SEL practices across all school activities. CASEL also emphasizes the necessity of collaboration between educators, families, and communities to ensure the development of these skills.

In essence, while SEL refers to the learning process itself, CASEL provides the guidance, tools, and strategies to effectively implement SEL in schools and other educational contexts.
