Cilj analize usmjeren je na teorijska polazišta afektivnog obrazovanja, njegove kurikulumske perspektive i odgojno-obrazovne implikacije. Rezultati analize pokazali su emocionalnu i socijalnu utemeljenost afektivnog obrazovanja, njegov sukonstruktivan proces razvoja, preventivnu snagu i prediktorsku ulogu unutar osobnog, socijalnog i kulturnog razvoja te akademskih postignuća. Izazovi afektivnog obrazovanja sve su aktualniji unutar humanističke psihologije, kurikulumskih inovacija i razvoja postojeće škole kao most prema humanijem i cjelovitijem obrazovanju.This paper analyses national and international literature that deals with affective education.
