1. Correlation between didactics of emotions® and school drop-out The didactics of emotions®, according to the results of the previous researches, increasesThe “Evaluation Test for Behavioural and Emotional Problems” (SEDS) created by J. B.Button and T.G.Roberts (1986), was applied to children aged between 3 and 10 (nursery and primary school). This is an evaluation scale able to identify students “at risk”. SEDS items evaluate various psychological and interpersonal object features. They are filled out by teachers, who must have had acquaintance with the subject from before the experiment. The actualreduction of behavioursdefined “troublesome” and the annotations by teachersparticipating to the experimentationwillconfirm the hypothesis of EmotionalDidactics’ effectiveness in favouringemotionaldevelopment in children. As for resultsevaluation, a counting of the frequencies of individualprofilesnoticed by teachers’ observationwasnumbered, according to the 5 SEDS predefinedprofiles.The divisioninto5categories shows a totalincrease of “positive” profilesagainst “negative” ones.
