La comunicación Asertiva, una Herramienta Educativa que Mejora la Interacción Social a Través del Desarrollo Sociocognitivo

Abstract

Assertive communication plays a fundamental role in the cognitive and social development of children, according to the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. These theorists maintain that assertiveness facilitates the assimilation and accommodation of information, promoting the development of language, the expansion of vocabulary and the ability to argue. This work focused on assertive communication as a catalyst to enrich collaborative learning and improve children's social relationships, directly impacting empowerment, self-concept, and communication.

A descriptive qualitative research was carried out that included surveys and educational diagnoses for both children and teachers, with the aim of evaluating the work of the teaching staff and recognizing their influence on the students. In addition, a documentary analysis of similar research was carried out that addresses assertive communication in the training of pedagogical professionals, the development of communication skills in primary education students and the use of cooperative learning in adolescents.

In conclusion, assertive communication not only affects children in terms of cognitive and social development, but also involves meaningful teaching by teachers in the educational environment. These, through their direct and indirect praxis, have the power to promote strategies to strengthen assertiveness in the classroom.
