This book explores academic learning theories in relation to
modern cognitive research. It suggests that developing a
feelings and emotion-based learning theory could improve our
understanding of human learning behavior. Jennifer A. Hawkins
argues that feelings are rational in individuals' own terms and
should be considered―whether or not we agree with them. She
examines learners' experiences and posits that feelings and
emotions are logical to individuals according to their current
beliefs, memories, and knowledge. This volume provides rich
case studies and empirical data, and shows that acknowledging
feelings during and after learning experiences helps to solve
cognitive difficulties and aids motivation and self-reflection.
It also demonstrates various ways to record and analyze
feelings to provide useful research evidence.
