PROMOCIÓN DEL AUTOCONCEPTO Y EL AUTOCUIDADO CORPORAL EN NIÑOS Y NIÑAS DE 6 A 12 AÑOS DEL COLEGIO SAN JUAN BOSCO DE MONIQUIRÁ (BOYACÁ), MEDIANTE UNA ESTRATEGIA PEDAGÓGICA BASADA EN LA INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL

Abstract

This research project aims to cultivate the development of socioemotional skills in children aged 6 to 12, with a particular emphasis on self-acceptance and body care. Emotional intelligence is used as a fundamental pedagogical approach to guide children in the acquisition of essential skills, such as emotional self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and appropriate social skills for their cognitive development stage. In this way, the project seeks to empower children to build a positive self-image and establish a healthy relationship with their bodies. The project is implemented through activities and educational experiences specifically designed for students at Colegio San Juan Bosco. These activities include emotional intelligence workshops, reflection and self-evaluation exercises, as well as artistic and sports practices. Additionally, its main goal is to strengthen the overall well-being of children, promoting the development of their self-esteem, the ability to manage emotions, empathy, and personal care. It also aims to provide children with the necessary tools to develop socioemotional skills and foster a positive body image. Furthermore, it is intended that this project serves as a model and reference for other educational institutions and contexts, inspiring the implementation of similar strategies that promote the socioemotional well-being of children. It is expected that this project will significantly contribute to the integral development of the participating children, allowing them to reach their full potential in an educational environment that fosters self-acceptance, emotional well-being, and the building of healthy relationships. Additionally, it is anticipated that the results obtained will serve as a basis for future research and applications in the field of socioemotional education.
