Book Review: "Feelings and Emotion-based Learning: A New Theory"
This book is both joyful to read, and is also immensely powerful for its three main constituents. For teachers it provides a powerful and timely book that brings together notions of teacher experience and expertise with the importance of considering feelings and emotions while teaching. For academics the work provides a new and well researched theory of learning and contextualizes this amongst other prominent learning work. And for those who want to engage in feeling related research there is a rich discussion of the kinds of research methods and ethical considerations required to pursue this exciting new path.
