Overview
"This paper discusses an approach to considering the affect 'awe' as a pedagogical tool and an inciter of cognitive and affective processes. Utilizing qualitative research on the topic, as well as educational, cognitive, psychological and neuro-psychological theorists, the paper argues that an educator can harness and utilize awe stimuli to allow a learner to simultaneously experience affect automaticity and a need for accommodation, making it possible for awe and awe stimuli to act as a guide towards or verification of a passion. The paper includes a literature review, description of research methodology and research outcomes." -- Abstract
