Innovative Approaches to Emotional Literacy in Digital Educational Contexts from In-School Instruction to Independent Platforms

This study investigated innovative approaches to fostering emotional literacy through digital educational contexts in Tehran Province, focusing on both in-school blended learning programs and independent online platforms. Emotional literacy—the ability to recognize, understand, express, and manage emotions—is increasingly viewed as critical for students’ academic success and personal well-being. With the rapid growth of digital education, new opportunities have emerged to deliver emotional literacy interventions in scalable, engaging formats. A mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from ۱,۱۵۰ students and ۲۸۰ educators using validated surveys measuring emotional literacy competencies, digital tool engagement, and learning outcomes. Additionally, content analysis of ۱۰ leading digital emotional literacy platforms examined pedagogical strategies and user experiences. Findings revealed widespread integration of digital emotional literacy tools across educational contexts. Higher engagement levels with digital tools were strongly associated with improved emotional literacy outcomes, as shown by ANOVA and multiple regression analyses. Significant predictors of success included age, gender, school type, platform type, and level of engagement. These results highlight the importance of designing interventions that are tailored to learners’ needs and contexts. The study recommends enhancing teacher training, developing personalized and culturally relevant digital content, and promoting equitable access to high-quality emotional literacy resources. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how digital technologies can effectively support emotional literacy education and offers practical insights for educators, platform designers, and policymakers.
