Estrategias para favorecer la educación socio-emocional en alumnos de preescolar: Strategies to promote socio-emotional education in preschool students

Abstract

The purpose of this documentary research was to reflect on the importance of socio-emotional education in the school context; This implies that teachers reflect and analyze how they are carrying it out, in addition to knowing what their main contributions are in the personal lives of their students, as well as their own. The methodology used consisted of a documentary analysis, as well as the use of conceptual cartography to guide the work to be carried out. The results obtained allowed us to identify the importance of socio-emotional education in the educational environment, as well as how it should be applied in a timely manner in the rural context. The following axes could be determined in the methodology of socio-emotional education: what it is, where it emerged, how it is applied at the preschool level, among others. A first conclusion was that in a marginalized rural context where the lack of affection, self-knowledge and empathy is a reality, the implementation of socio-emotional education in preschool education becomes an imperative need. A second conclusion was that, through social-emotional education programs, children can be offered the opportunity to experience caring and trusting relationships in a safe school environment and, finally, social-emotional education in preschool in marginalized rural contexts not only is relevant, but it can be transformative.
