ABSTRACT

The classroom environment is an important place to effectively implement social and emotional education. College students' social and emotional competence can be improved by embedding social and emotional learning in curriculum learning. Among them, setting up special social and emotional courses or integrating social and emotional competence into subject teaching are effective embedding methods. Project-based learning, which combines learning interaction and cooperative learning, is an effective way to improve the competence to embed social emotions in the classroom. In the whole process, project-based learning constructs a triple relationship between students and themselves, students and others, and students and the collective, which can be highly integrated with the five social-emotional abilities and skills. However, in the process of project-based learning, a more detailed design is needed in the stages of project selection, project process, project completion, and project evaluation. The conclusion of this study provides useful enlightenment on how to improve a college student's social and emotional competence in the campus environment.
