Psicoeducación para el manejo de la inteligencia emocional en los estudiantes de Primer año de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Santa María de los Ángeles

Abstract

This research aims to systematize the implementation of a psychoeducational proyect focused on emotional intelligence management for first-year high school students at Unidad Educativa Santa María de los Ángeles. Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in the comprehensive development of adolescents, as it influences their psychological well-being, interpersonal relationships, and academic performance. Based on this premise, an intervention was designed, consisting of the application of the TMMS-24 test, which assessed three key dimensions: emotional attention, clarity, and regulation. Subsequently, psychoeducational workshops were conducted, emphasizing emotional identification, understanding, and management through group dynamics, relaxation exercises, and coping strategies. The results indicated that a significant number of students faced difficulties in emotional clarity and regulation, highlighting the need to strengthen these skills. Moreover, those with higher levels of emotional intelligence demonstrated better stress management and greater stability in their interpersonal relationships. Based on the collected data, it is concluded that psychoeducation in emotional intelligence is a key tool for enhancing adolescents' ability to cope with the emotional challenges characteristic of this stage. It is recommended to continue these types of interventions and establish a long-term monitoring system to assess their lasting impact. Additionally, the active involvement of teachers and families is essential in this educational process, fostering a comprehensive approach that promotes students' socio-emotional development both within and beyond the school environment.
