The Emotion-lab program: a novel educational model for the development of Emotional Intelligence in children
The Emotion-lab is a novel educational model, designed to promote the development of Emotional Intelligence in typically developed children. The model exploits the interactive features of Panda PlusMe, the smart interactive toy used within IM-TWIN project, to teach children to improve their emotional awareness, through social play. A brief report about a pilot test was presented at the conference Interaction Design and Children, IDC '24, and is available at this link: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3628516.3659370
Emotion-lab is a collaboration between the Association Italiacamp and ISTC-CNR; further information about the initiative is available at this link.
Two interviews (in Italian), about the activity are available at this link and this link.
