To design an intervention proposal to work on emotional education in the second cycle of Early Childhood Education.

Abstract

This Final Degree Project deals with emotional intelligence and the imminent need to be developed from an early age, both in the family and school context since emotions play a very important role in people's lives. In this project, firstly, a theoretical framework is detailed, in which an exhaustive review of the concept of emotion is carried out to correctly address the topic to be dealt with throughout the work. Secondly, a differentiation between an emotion and a feeling is made, since they are very different terms, and a classification of emotions according to different authors is elaborated. Next, the main functions of emotions are detailed and, subsequently, the importance of introducing emotional education in the classroom from an early age is discussed. Once the theoretical framework has been completed, an intervention proposal is detailed to work on emotional education in the second cycle of Early Childhood Education. This proposal is composed of seven sessions, following a constructivist methodology, which aims for students to construct new knowledge from previous teachings and based on their own experience. Through this project they will be provided with the necessary tools to acquire the ability to manage and understand their emotions and those of others, which will allow them to build emotionally healthy bonds both with themselves and with others.
