Enhancing Social Presence Through Art: A Study on the Intersection of Emotions and Class Engagement
摘要
This study examines the role of emotions in educational relationships and the impact of artistic texts in fostering student engagement. Using a socio-cognitive perspective, it explores how artistic practices create shared emotional worlds, enabling students to critically redefine their identities. A comparative analysis between the Politecnico di Torino and eCampus Telematic University, based on an online questionnaire, highlights the role of social presence — a participatory climate shaped by shared emotions. The findings emphasize the transformative potential of artistic texts in creating a shared emotional framework, stimulating deeper engagement, and fostering a sense of community in diverse educational settings.
