Emotional Intelligence by Bryan Merton says that "Emotional health is fundamental to effective learning. Researchers have concluded that people who manage their own feelings well and deal effectively with others are more likely to live contented and productive lives. Such people are also more likely to retain information and use it more effectively than those who are depressed or unhappy."
The briefing uses case studies to illustrate the power of effective learning and how this requires people to engage fully with the subject and the activity, creating a cycle of greater motivation leading to achievement that in turn brings recognition. This enhances confidence leading to improved motivation. The full briefing is available at the NIACE website: www.niace.org.uk. YALP is a joint initiative between NIACE and The National Youth Agency.
