Abstract

This study explores the impact of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) assessments on
educational planning and curriculum development in higher education. As SEL
competencies—such as selfawareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship
skills, and responsible decisionmaking—become increasingly recognized for their role in
student success, understanding how assessment data can shape educational strategies is
crucial. By analyzing SEL assessment results from college students, this research
highlights trends in emotional and social competencies, identifies gaps, and examines how
these insights can be used to inform and enhance curriculum design. The findings
demonstrate the potential of SEL assessment to create more responsive and supportive
educational environments, ultimately fostering both academic achievement and holistic
student development. Key findings demonstrate the potential of SEL assessment to create
more responsive and supportive educational environments by integrating emotional
intelligence and interpersonal skills into academic programs. The study also explores how
SEL data can guide the development of targeted interventions, support services, and co
curricular activities that address specific student needs.
