Inteligencia emocional y su influencia en la vida académica de los adolescentes

Abstract

The integral development of children and adolescents has always been a priority in state policies and laws regarding education; however, the traditional educational model places greater emphasis and effort on an education based on logical reasoning and leaves aside the emotional skills that are essential for academic success and adult life. From the results presented in this research, it was possible to see how the inclusion of emotional dimensions in the curriculum, such as self-knowledge, self-control, motivation, empathy, conflict resolution, group collaboration, among others, have a positive impact on the formation of students, since they generate an environment conducive to generating a quality education. Certainly, there are social problems, such as anxiety, depression, violent or risky behaviors that are common in adolescents, which may be evidence of emotional neglect and not a phase in the lives of students.
