Abstract

This study aimed to compare dimensions of social-emotional learning of students in ordinary and no bag schools.  Using multi-stage cluster sampling a sample of 71 students of no bag schools and 86 students of ordinary schools was selected from among Y3 and Y4 students in Isfahan. The Karin et al. questionnaire of social-emotional learning along with some demographic questions was administered to the sample. MANOVA was used for data analysis. Results showed a significant difference between students of ordinary and no bag schools on self regulation. Also, findings showed significant difference between the two types of schools on peer group relations.
