How do emotions work? How are emotions made? Why sometimes do emotions feel automatic and uncontrollable? This seminar will try to answer all these questions and many more by providing a road map of emotions. Emotions are one of the basic phenomena of human functioning. Most of the time emotions have an adaptative value, enhancing our resources for the achievement of our goals. The regulation of these emotions is essential for our health and well-being, however, emotion regulation is not always easy. One of the main solutions to deal with our emotions is to understand how emotions work to use them wisely. In this seminar, we will review the current state of knowledge on the science of emotions using innovative teaching strategies (i.e. group dynamics, gamification and self-awareness activities).
Teaching methods have evolved throughout last decades. In order to learn the different possibilities that Innovative Teaching offers, this seminar will explore how each field can provide ideas that can be applied in other areas. In this way, both participants and assistants will improve their knowledge concerning to how to teach and how to create a better environment in the class, in which students play a more dynamic role. These activities will be held mainly by predoc and postdoc fellows of RCC.
