In an era of rapid digital transformation, education faces unprecedented challenges that threaten to reduce learning to mere technological processes. This collection explores how love and care can serve as fundamental principles for humanising education in the digital age.
Drawing from diverse international perspectives, the volume examines the essential role of emotional connections in teaching and learning. The book presents evidence-based research on caring pedagogies, teacher-student relationships, and the integration of humanistic values within educational practice. With particular focus on Chinese educational contexts, contributors examine how parental encouragement affects academic achievement amongst Chinese students and explore culturally specific approaches to implementing love-based education in higher education institutions. The volume also features intercultural perspectives that demonstrate how caring pedagogies can bridge cultural differences whilst promoting holistic human development.
This volume is essential reading for educational researchers, teacher educators, policy makers, and practitioners seeking to understand how emotional foundations can enhance educational effectiveness. It will particularly appeal to those working in educational philosophy, teacher training programmes, and educational psychology, offering both theoretical frameworks and practical strategies for implementing caring pedagogies across diverse cultural contexts. This book was originally published as a special issue of Chinese Education & Society.
