Sistematización de experiencias: Inteligencia emocional y su importancia en las relaciones sociales en niños de la Escuela San Pio de Pietrelcina en el periodo de octubre 2023 a marzo del 2024

Abstract

The present research work describes the systematization of the experience of the intervention carried out at the San Pío de Pietrelcina School. During the intervention period, a survey was conducted with students aged between 12 and 17 who cohabit daily in their classrooms. This survey, known as TMMS-24, was used to assess the emotional intelligence of the students. Through classroom observation and the support of teachers, the traits of coexistence among students were obtained. Thus, the systematization of the experience was based on a qualitative analysis of the students' attitudes. The methodology employed in the research was qualitative and bibliographic, given the techniques used in the project such as interviews and surveys. Additionally, an extensive database search was conducted to gather information on the proposed topic—emotional intelligence and social relationships—described from a psychological perspective. The intervention revealed that students facing greater difficulties in social relationships were associated with inadequate emotional intelligence. These students lacked awareness of emotions, had no knowledge of how to manage them, and were unwilling to make the effort to learn. Consequently, there is a need for an educational intervention on emotional intelligence to improve students' social relationships and other aspects of their lives where having a thorough understanding of emotional intelligence could be beneficial.
