Abstract

This study evaluated elementary students’ learning happiness from an educational neuroscience perspective through a qualitative literature review. Data were collected from scientific publications indexed in Scopus, ERIC, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and SINTA (2022–2026) using thematic content analysis. The findings showed that emotional well-being, supportive classroom climate, and positive teacher-student relationships significantly influence students’ cognitive engagement and learning happiness. The novelty of this study lies in integrating educational neuroscience with social-emotional learning perspectives. This study contributes to developing emotionally supportive and student-centered learning environments in elementary education.
