I have submitted the required form for the research; however, I suggest reconsidering the use of the word 'love' in the title. Since the study focuses on higher education, a term more aligned with academic and professional discourse—such as 'compassion,' 'care,' or 'humanistic pedagogy'—might be more suitable than 'love,' which is often associated with early childhood or primary education.

Thank you for raising this important theme.

In my work as a psychologist and educator, I’ve often seen that love - understood not as sentimentality, but as presence, ethical commitment, and deep regard for the learner’s becoming - lies at the core of transformational education.

Especially in higher education, where pressure and metrics often dominate the landscape, love-based pedagogy invites us to rehumanize the process of learning, and to remember that education is not only transmission, but relation, care, and co-evolution.

I am currently working on related dimensions of pedagogical identity, psychological well-being, and salutogenic approaches in academic development. Your initiative resonates with many of the questions I explore in my own research.
