Autorregulación emocional en estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales (NEE), pertenecientes a la Unidad Educativa “Madre María Berenice” durante la crisis sanitaria generada por Covid-19, entre los meses de abril a julio del 2021

Abstract

The general objective of this document is to systematize the implementation of the psychosocial intervention project called: Emotional self-regulation in students with special educational needs, belonging to the “Madre María Berenice” high school, during the health crisis generated by Covid-19, between the months of April to July 2021. The population consists of 20 children and adolescents between 5 and 16 years with curricular adaptation, who during the elective year 2020-2021, like the rest of students nationwide, received classes under the virtual modality. The change of modality in the education of the participants, in addition to other factors related to the health crisis, significantly affected areas such as: behavior, academic performance and social interaction, generating conflicting emotions in the students. Based on the identification of this problem, it was decided to address the issue of emotional self-regulation in the participants through the development of a series of 5 workshops. In which we worked with cognitive-behavioral techniques, which allowed the participants to develop adequate tools to regulate their emotions in a functional way.
