Integración del enfoque STEAM para fomentar las expresiones emocionales en estudiantes de 8 grado de la Institución Educativa Juan Jacobo Aragón

Abstract

Adolescents undergo biopsychological changes and during this period they experience intense emotions and challenges in their emotional regulation, affecting their well being. Therefore, the purpose of the research is based on the identification of whether the integration of the STEAM approach facilitates a greater understanding and expression of emotions. For this, an applied qualitative methodology is established with an exploratory study, oriented to the categories STEAM approach, innovative teaching strategies and student's integral development. Likewise, the population and sample are students from grade 801 of the Juan Jacobo Aragón Educational Institution. The instruments used were the initial diagnosis, the designed strategy and the evaluation by an expert judge. The results show that teachers consider the integration of the approach in their work practice, but have limitations of little updating and limited resources, while students do not know the approach and have little recognition of emotional expression strategies. The evaluation by the expert judge determined that the strategy is coherent, pertinent and has viability with minimal adjustments. The implementation of the activities with the students was achieved until the second phase due to time limitations but evidencing the potential for its effectiveness if fully implemented.
