Heart-Mind Bridge
Bridging cognitive capacity/ability with affective (emotional) capacity/ability. Linking IQ (Intelligence Quotient) with EQ (Emotional Intelligence/Quotient). Students learn that navigating successfully through their emotional challenges is related to their ability to successfully navigate through their cognitive and learning challenges.
When students understand the patterns behind how their emotions sometimes have control over them, they are more easily able to concentrate on academic performance.
In addition, the subjects we learn must be connected to issues and topics that have some emotional relevance and applicability for us. We are emotional beings and feelings such as love, sadness, stress, joy, pain, empathy, awe, insight and passion take precedence in our daily experiences, often guiding us in our cognitive capacities. |
