The impact of classroom climate on emotional development in childhood

Abstract

This research article examines the crucial role of a healthy classroom climate in the social-emotional development of students during childhood. A positive classroom climate has been associated with several positive outcomes, including increased academic success, development of intrapersonal skills, and improvement in the quality of interpersonal relationships. The main objective is to explore the impact of the classroom climate on the comprehensive development of children. The study employs a qualitative approach, using multiple case studies to collect rich and detailed data. Data analysis is carried out using computer-aided qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) software, specifically the ATLAS program, to generate categories that allow for in-depth analysis. The findings underscore the importance of considering the classroom climate as a key factor in promoting general well-being and positive social-emotional outcomes among young learners, and the importance of creating a nurturing and supportive classroom environment to foster optimal emotional development in children.
