Effects of a Preventive Intervention of Emotional Regulation in the School Context

Abstract

In early childhood education, socio-emotional learning is not always considered with appropriate planning nor based on scientific evidence. Aiming to analyze impact of an Emotional Regulation (ER) Intervention in school achievement and social skills (SS), fifty-five children from public schools were evaluated by Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM), School Achievement Test (TDE) and Social Skills Rating System (SSRS-BR). After nine 50-minute meetings addressing ER strategies, evaluation of SS by the teacher indicated improvement in all aspects of SS in Intervention Group (IG) and worsening of the self-control in Comparison Group (CG). Self-evaluation of SS showed that IG overcame the initial difference in assertiveness and problem avoidance. Results suggest that ER programs can bring benefits to the development of SS.

Social skills training as a strategy to combat prejudice against sexual and gender diversity

“…The SST schedule includes a total of 10 weekly sessions, with the duration of 50 minutes each session, in the school afternoon shift -the same time when students attended their classes. This periodicity and duration of the meetings was established because it resembles the structures described in the literature, in social skills training programs that have already been carried out and with empirically proven effectiveness (Rodrigues et al, 2021;Vieira et al, 2021). The meetings were conducted and previously planned based on a psychoeducational and cognitive-behavioral approach with strategically designed techniques aimed at achieving the established objectives, that is, to cause a positive impact by increasing the adolescents' repertoire of social skills, with regard to living with people who do not fit the heterosexual norm, thus producing a reduction in prejudice against these individuals.…”

O Efeito Das Habilidades Sociais No Ensino Aprendizagem De Crianças E Adolescentes

“…Therefore, encouraging new studies can favor the application of effective programs in addition to producing a greater collection of Brazilian references in the area studied. Além de que é válido ressaltar que a saúde mental também está relacionado ao bom empenho acadêmico (VIEIRA et al 2020).…”

“…No Brasil, pouco é investido em programas que colaborem com esse tipo de formação. O estudo realizado em escolas públicas no contexto de uma intervenção nas habilidades sociais, embora não tenha encontrado uma relação de causa e efeito entre aquisição de habilidades sociais e emocionais com o rendimento escolar, foi constatado um impacto significativo na qualidade dos relacionamentos e qualidade de vida (VIEIRA et al 2020).…”
