Reaction-Based Learning Cultures and New Teachers as "Emotion Leaders" in Affective Cultures

Year 2025, Volume: 20 Issue: 48, 1683 - 1699, 24.12.2025

Abstract

The reaction video culture has given rise to a new group of digital actors known as "reactioners," who foster emotional engagement with content by displaying genuine emotional responses to various stimuli. When examined in an educational context, this culture presents a potential for developing an alternative learning model—reaction-based affective learning—particularly for primary school students. In this process, it becomes essential for teachers to encourage students to observe global events and social values, and to facilitate discussions around these observations through emotionally driven learning frameworks. Within this model, the teacher assumes the role of an “emotional guide” in the classroom, while simultaneously acting as a digital “re-actor” on online platforms, thus deepening interaction and engagement with learners. This study explores the integration of reaction video culture into educational communication processes, aiming to offer innovative instructional strategies for teachers through these newly emerging roles. The proposals, grounded in current theoretical concepts from the literature, will provide educators with original insights, enabling the creation of learning environments that are both emotion-centered and knowledge-enriching. In conclusion, this review contributes to the discourse on enhancing affective dimensions of educational communication in alignment with global trends, and enriching students’ overall learning experiences through emotionally responsive teaching methods.

Duygulanım Kültürlerinde Reaksiyon Tabanlı Öğrenme Kültürü ve “Duygu Önderi” Olarak Yeni Öğreticiler*

Year 2025, Volume: 20 Issue: 48, 1683 - 1699, 24.12.2025

Abstract

Reaksiyon video kültürü, "Reactioner" adlı yeni bir aktör grubunu ortaya çıkarmış ve izleyicilere duygusal tepkiler göstererek içerikle duygusal bağ kurmalarını sağlamıştır. Bu enformel öğretici, ilköğretim öğrencilerine yönelik reaksiyon tabanlı duygulanım öğrenimi metodu uygulayarak, öğrenme süreçlerini yeniden yapılandırma fırsatı bulur. Bu süreçte, öğretmenlerin dünya olayları ve değerler üzerinde öğrencilerine gözlem yaptırarak, bu gözlemler üzerinden duygusal tepkilere dayalı bir öğrenme modelinin etkinliğini tartışmaları önemlidir. Böylece öğretmen, sınıfta "duygu önderi" rolünü üstlenirken, dijital platformlarda "re-aktör" olarak etkileşimi derinleştirebilir. Bu çalışma, reaksiyon video kültürünün eğitimdeki iletişim süreçlerine entegrasyonunu inceleyerek, öğretmenler için bu yeni roller aracılığıyla yenilikçi stratejiler geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Literatürdeki kavramlardan yola çıkarak ortaya konulacak öneriler, öğretmenler için özgün bir değer sağlayacak ve eğitimdeki bu yeni yaklaşım doğrultusunda hem duygu odaklı hem de bilgi edindiren bir öğrenme ortamı oluşturmayı hedefleyecektir. Bu derleme, eğitsel iletişimde, dünyadaki küresel trendlere uygun olarak duygulanım düzeyinin artırılması ve öğrenme deneyiminin zenginleştirilmesi açısından önemli bir tartışma alanı sunmaktadır.
