Book excerpt: Despite growing recognition of the impact of emotions on adult learning, academics and practitioners in our field still often overlook its critical role. Traditional approaches focus heavily on cognitive outcomes, neglecting the affective components of meaningful and relevant learning and development. This leaves learners ill-equipped to navigate the emotional challenges inherent in the process, hindering their ability to achieve their goals. The book, Utilizing Emotional Experience for Best Learning Design Practices, draws on extensive research and practical experience to explore many different perspectives on this issue. It argues that the emotional experience of learners must be considered throughout the design of educational models, tools, and programs, and it provides theoretical and applied insights for integrating emotional learning goals and strategies into instructional design, enabling educators to create more supportive and effective learning environments. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book empowers learning professionals to enhance the emotional experiences of adult learners and improve their overall outcomes. Through a nuanced exploration of emotional foundations, theoretical frameworks, and practical strategies, it equips educators with the tools to address the affective needs of learners. Utilizing Emotional Experience for Best Learning Design Practices is a vital resource for transforming adult education, fostering a more holistic and empowering approach to learning and development.
