Estrategia pedagógica para el desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional en los estudiantes de grado transición Del Colegio San José De Cúcuta.

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to implement a pedagogical strategy for the development of emotional intelligence in students of the transition degree of the San José de Cúcuta School, through a didactic proposal designed specifically to promote socio-emotional skills in this stage of development. To achieve this, the proposal was based on the theoretical contributions of Daniel Goleman and his model of emotional competencies, which includes self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. On the other hand, it was possible to design a pedagogical proposal called "Connecting with my emotions in a fun way", which includes activities such as snail breathing, the story of the "Color Monster", painting and emotions, and the emotions fair. These activities together allow students to identify and manage their emotions appropriately in a playful and collaborative environment. Regarding the methodology, the research was developed with a qualitative approach and an action-research method, in which observation and field diary were used as a technique and instrument for collecting information, respectively. The key informants of this study were the transition grade students of the Colegio San José de Cúcuta. In conclusion, the results showed the importance of developing emotional intelligence in transition grade children, since improvements were observed in their ability to recognize, express and manage emotions. This supports both the effectiveness of the intervention and the viability of including emotional education strategies from the first years of school, in order to promote comprehensive and sustainable learning.
