Abstract

This study explores the adaptability of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in virtual classrooms and the strategies for its implementation. In response to challenges such as the lack of emotional interaction inherent in virtual learning environments, the study proposes leveraging advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) to bridge this gap, while emphasizing the importance of cultural adaptability and individual differences. The findings suggest that optimizing instructional design, technological support, and teacher training can significantly enhance the implementation of SEL in virtual classrooms. Future research should focus on the application of technology, the refinement of instructional design, and the development of teacher competencies to achieve the global universality and effectiveness of SEL.
