Educación Emocional Y Su Efecto En El Rendimiento Académico En Estudiantes De Educación Básica Elemental

Abstract

Emotional education is a fundamental component in the holistic development of students, significantly influencing their well-being and academic performance. However, its integration into the school curriculum remains limited, negatively impacting students' ability to manage stress and anxiety, which in turn affects their academic achievement. Various studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and improved academic outcomes, increased motivation, and a reduction in behavioral issues. In this context, the present study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional education and academic performance in elementary school students through a literature review, identifying evidence-based programs that enhance school performance. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, based on a systematic review of scientific literature published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on studies related to emotional intelligence, academic anxiety, self esteem, and other factors influencing learning. The findings indicate that academic anxiety, low self esteem, and the lack of emotional support negatively impact academic performance. Conversely, the TA AXIOMA implementation of emotional education programs such as REGIA, PATHS, and SEL has proven effective in strengthening emotional intelligence, reducing anxiety, and improving cognitive skills. Additionally, a positive school environment and family support are highlighted as key factors in students' academic success. In conclusion, integrating emotional education strategies into the school curriculum is essential for both academic and personal development. Therefore, the implementation of specific emotional education programs, teacher training in emotional intelligence, and the promotion of a supportive school environment that fosters emotional well-being and meaningful learning are recommended.
