El cultivo inteligente de las emociones morales en la adolescencia

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between emotional intelligence, emotional competence, and emotional education, with special reference to moral emotions applied to secondary education. Emotional education is a continuous and permanent educational process that occurs throughout life with the objective of developing emotional competences. Emotional intelligence in education is the foundation of these competences. There is currently abundant evidence for the benefits for students of emotional education. Its most notable effects include improved ethical and moral behaviour, the development of prosocial behaviours, and improved emotional competences, resulting in improved coexistence and well-being. Emotional education can address a multitude of topics, including emotional awareness and regulation, emotional autonomy, self-esteem, self-motivation, social skills, assertiveness, empathy, life skills, well-being, etc. This work focuses on moral emotions and values as an important aspect of education in adolescence. Adolescence is a developmental stage with significant changes and instability in moods that justifies the need to develop emotional intelligence in the educational field, specifically the education of moral emotions. Therefore, this work offers practical considerations for inclusion in the secondary education stage where the figure of the teacher has a key role as a model and educational reference.

Zur, Cooke, Woodman, Neil, and Udewitz [ 39 ], in their study of elite fencing athletes, found very similar results; initially, anger improved the reaction time of athletes, but subsequently reduced their performance.…”

Stability of Peer Acceptance and Rejection and Their Effect on Academic Performance in Primary Education: A Longitudinal Research

“…Negative emotions are more intense and longer-lasting than positive emotions [20].

Emotional Development Questionnaire for Primary Education (CDE_9–13)

“…The scientific bibliography has highlighted how the domain of emotional competences impacts cognition, memory, attention, decision making, behaviors, moral evaluations, health, etc. [1,[33][34][35][36]. For all these reasons, emotional competences are understood as basic competencies for life and their development extends throughout the entire life cycle, being considered essential during the first stages of life.…”
