Abstract

To investigate the role of positive emotion in education, we have reviewed the previous studies on positive emotion, learning and motivation. In the present study, we examined the definition of positive emotion, and influences of positive emotion on cognition, creativity, social relationship, psychological resource such as life satisfaction, and interactive relationship among positive emotion, motivation and learning. To investigate the role of positive emotion on motivation and learning more scientifically, we examined the recent results of neuroscience. In other words, we have reviewed diverse research on positive emotion, learning and motivation based on brain-based learning. We also examined the research of autonomy-supportive environment as the specific example of improving positive emotion. As one of the most effective methods for emotional education, we discussed brain-based learning, the new research field. As the future prospects, we discussed the implications, possibilities and limitations of brain-based learning.

본 연구는 효과적인 감성교육의 방향을 모색하기 위하여, 학습자의 긍정적 감성과 학습 및 동기의 관계에 대한 연구의 흐름을 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 긍정적 감성의 정의를 살펴보고, 긍정적 감성이 인간의 인지적 영역, 창의성, 사회성, 삶의 만족도 등의 심리적 자원에 미치는 긍정적 효과, 긍정적 감성과 동기의 정적 관계에 대한 선행연구들, 긍정적 감성과 학습에 대한 연구들을 살펴보았다. 특히 본 연구는 교육에서의 긍정적 감성의 역할을 보다 과학적으로 탐구하기 위하여, 최신 뇌기반 학습과학(brain-based learning) 연구결과들을 살펴보았다. 즉 교육학, 심리학, 인지과학, 뇌과학 분야 등의 다양한 연구결과들을 고찰하여 교육에서의 긍정적 감성의 역할을 확인하였다. 또한 본 연구는 긍정적 감성이 실제적으로 긍정적 감성을 향상시키기 위한 구체적 교육 프로그램을 살펴보기 위하여, 자율성 지지적 환경에 대한 연구도 예시적으로 고찰하였다. 향후 긍정적 감성과 동기 및 학습의 유기적 상호작용을 극대화 하는 효과적인 감성교육의 방법론으로서 뇌기반 학습과학의 가능성과 한계점에 대하여 논의하였으며, 학교현장에서의 활용 방안 등에 대해서도 살펴보았다.
