Desarrollo de la Inteligencia Emocional a través de una Estrategia Didáctica Escritural en Estudiantes de Cuarto de Primaria del Colegio Nuestra Señora de la Paz

Abstract

From my experience in educational research, a deep interest arises in studying emotional intelligence and its strengthening through writing in the school context. This interest is framed in the search for pedagogical strategies that transcend traditional teaching to address essential aspects of the integral development of students. Recognizing that emotional intelligence is key to personal and social life, I propose to investigate how writing can become an effective didactic tool to foster socioemotional skills, based on Daniel Goleman's approaches and the possibilities offered by pedagogical mediation. Writing, besides being an academic resource, has the potential to serve as a vehicle for self-reflection, emotional expression and internal conflict resolution. In this sense, the design of specific workshops that link this tool with emotional management strategies not only seeks to improve the students' relationship with themselves, but also with others. This project is based on the premise that emotions and their proper management are fundamental in human development, especially at an early age, where the principles for harmonious coexistence and a balanced life are formed.
