Abstract
In many European countries, such as Finland, education aims to support the development of the whole person rather than merely the cognitive domain. This kind of education acknowledges the importance of social and affective domains in student development, including their emotional and spiritual concerns (Tirri, 2011a). For last two decades the Finnish school system has been very successful in international comparative studies on student achievements (PISA), most recently in 2012, in mathematics, science and reading achievements.
