Emotional Education Governance Based on School-Family Collaboration: Value Analysis, Exploration of Practice, and Future Prospects

Abstract

Excessive rationalization in educational governance leads to a lack of emotion and a range of problems. Family and school are natural allies in emotional education, and collaboration between the two will realize the holistic life development of students, the school’s goal of comprehensive education, and the family’s valuable function of providing a nurturing education. Following the path of emotional development and the logic of collaboration, the governance of emotional education with school-family collaboration in mainland China has been explored in both institutionalized and non-institutionalized aspects, achieving certain results. In the future, emotional education governance with school-family collaboration should be based on the perspective of integrating emotions and collaboration to establish happiness as a goal of emotional education, to build a school-family relationship that is attentive to ethics, and to implement harmonious but different educational strategies to highlight Chinese cultural characteristics.
