Abstract

Emotions are omnipresent in people's lives. They have always intrigued humans – from artists to scholars – and they have been investigated in various scientific disciplines, from philosophy and sociology to biology and psychology. This chapter takes a psychological perspective on emotions, with a particular focus on educational settings. It addresses a number of basic psychological principles regarding the causes of emotions, their effects on cognition and learning, and their regulation. Both teachers' and learners' emotions and emotion regulation are considered. Specific implications concerning the design of emotionally healthy learning environments are presented, and last, challenges for future research are addressed. Formal and informal educational contexts entail a vast variety of emotions. Nevertheless, the initial years of scientific inquiry into emotions in education were largely restricted to one single emotion, namely test anxiety.
