For upper elementary school students, discovering the need to develop romantic relationships is important. In order to promote positive relationships, this study attempted to improve students' ability to process emotional information through curriculum and instruction. Based on the theory of Getting Along with Others and related research, we designed the courses Confession and Rejection, Getting Along with Others, and Breaking Up. In order to understand the learning outcomes of the students and their feedback, we applied action research methodology and collected students' reflections. The results of the study are described as follows: When asked about relationship and intimate contact, students would answer in a playful way, and when discussing breakup, some expressed happiness and some sadness. Furthermore, students would relate a breakup equivalent to being rejected, and students were concerned that they would still have to spend time together in the future, as well as the possibility of other classmates making jokes about them. Second, the lead author observed that relationships are rarely discussed in class, and that the students knew much more than the lead author thought they did. This made it difficult for the lead author to focus on the questions, and she was not able to respond to students' diverse responses in a timely manner. For the lead author, this was a challenging and learning experience, and she would continue to improve in order to appropriately handle the challenges students face in romantic relationships in the future. Lastly, based on students' feedback, it was apparent that their skills in emotional processing had improved through the course; nonetheless, students are eager to learn more about this topic. |
