q1 · i? · review · r2

Assessment recommendation grounded in a transdisciplinary review of learning-sciences evidence that cognitive, social and emotional processing are not clearly demarcated in the brain. The CASE approach is advocated across all levels of education; no experimental test is reported.

"ISEEA proposes an integrative learner-centric approach that should be integrated to form the CASE 20,25 (cognitive, academic, social, and emotional) approach across all levels of education— learning, teaching, and assessment."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Cognitive, emotional, and social skills should be taught alongside content because learning is integrated in the brain — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The ISEE Assessment proposes potentiality, operationalized as an individual's learning rate measured through dynamic formative assessments of personal learning trajectories, in place of merit-based assessment — related
• Social and emotional competence can be enhanced through explicit instruction, teaching practices, and curriculum integration — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• SEL programs improve social emotional skills — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
