A student’s ability to focus, critically engage with content, and collaborate with peers is intricately tied to their emotions. Consequently, the classroom can become a stressful space for students who are not in a comfortable emotional state.

This team proposes a groundbreaking idea: establishing a system for students to communicate their emotional state to their teachers through a simple and effective method, such as emotion cards. This approach aims to provide teachers with insights into their students’ emotional well-being on any given day, enabling them to respond appropriately and foster a positive and supportive learning environment. The utilization of emotion cards stands as an innovative solution to enhance communication and understanding between students and teachers, contributing to an emotionally supportive classroom atmosphere.
