Abstract

Socially and emotionally competent children thrive in school and life. Crucial to this success is integrating social and emotional learning (SEL) across their developmental ecology, from homes, schools, and communities to society. This case study draws on interviews with 21 parents, 42 teachers, and 12 professionals from diverse educational institutions in Malawi. It illuminates coordination strategies and enabling factors for system-wide support for SEL in and around Malawi's schools. Teachers deliver a compulsory SEL-infused curriculum, sometimes co-instructed with parents, and emphasize daily discipline and behavior modeling. Governmental and nongovernmental organizations collaborate with grassroots initiatives, such as Mothers’ Groups, to provide technical support, teacher training, financial aid, and community-wide discussions to acquaint parents with SEL. These efforts align through multiparty dialogues, aimed at bridging home–school disparities. The findings offer insights for establishing a coherent, system-wide support structure for SEL in Malawi and potentially other countries.
"需要一个村庄马拉维社会和情感学习环境的生态分析
具有社交和情感能力的儿童在学校和生活中茁壮成长。这一成功的关键在于将社会和情感学习(SEL)贯穿于从家庭、学校、社区到社会的整个发展生态中。本案例研究对马拉维不同教育机构的 21 名家长、42 名教师和 12 名专业人员进行了访谈。它揭示了马拉维学校内外全系统支持 SEL 的协调策略和有利因素。教师们讲授融合了 SEL 的必修课程,有时还与家长共同授课,并强调日常纪律和行为示范。政府和非政府组织与母亲团体等基层倡议合作,提供技术支持、教师培训、财政援助和社区讨论,让家长了解 SEL。这些努力通过多方对话进行协调,旨在缩小家庭与学校之间的差距。研究结果为在马拉维以及可能的其他国家建立一个协调一致的、全系统的支持结构来促进 SEL 提供了启示。
