ABSTRACT: Social emotional learning (SEL) has become a consensus in the global education community. SEL has become an important way to promote students’ adaptation to 21st century learning, life and future work, and to enhance the quality of students’ overall development in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. Although training programs have been launched in many countries, SEL is currently encountering new development bottlenecks. The present study discusses how to solve the problem of monolithic SEL subject perspectives, the dilemma of declining learning outcomes in online education, and the limitations in the development of educational effectiveness and assessment tools. Based on evidence-based education, the future direction of SEL development could optimize of SEL curriculum based on educational neuroscience, improve the sense of real interaction and feedback of SEL online teaching medium and emphasize the scientific and localization of SEL assessment methods.
