Educar las emociones para favorecer el aprendizaje

Abstract

Emotions are a cluster of internal reactions, derived from brain areas associated with specific situations that are not convenient to hide or repress. The purpose of this documentary research was to reflect on the emotional balance that teachers and students must have so that they do not interfere in the teaching and learning processes, the importance of knowing how to manage them and relate them to stimuli caused by an action. The methodology used consisted of documentary analysis and the use of conceptual cartography as work orientation. The results obtained from the concept of notion with a socioformative approach, allowed to identify the relevance of the dimensions of self-care, self-regulation, autonomy, empathy and collaboration in emotional states, from the personal to the sociocultural, as motivation in the appropriation of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. It is suggested that before promoting learning strategies, emotional maturity is educated through everyday experiences.
