Several paths are developed by both authors to stimulate the feeling of competency in the student in order to help him attain positive emotional states toward himself. This will in turn give meaning to what he is doing and ease the opening and the learning of a new concept. Hence, the student will be making new connections, but the teacher will have created the proper conditions to facilitate it.

One of the greatest contributions of the Emotional Pedagogy book to the field of emotional intelligence is its reliance on personality profiles and the need to take personality of students into account to have a successful teaching practice. By recognizing the emotions of students, useful emotions can be strengthened and problematic emotions that hinder learning can be addressed. A very helpful book for all professionals involved in teaching or training others.
