Keywords:
Emotional Management, Competences, Democratic Coexistence and Participation;, Psychopedagogy, Health.Abstract
The strengthening of socio-emotional skills, the promotion of a democratic culture, the improvement of the school climate, the prevention of social problems, the contribution to students’ holistic development, local contextualization, and educational innovation are fundamental indicators for developing meaningful emotional management among students. Therefore, the objective of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of implementing an emotional management program in the development of the competence “coexisting and participating democratically” among student-athletes at an educational institution in the locality of Bernal, Piura region, during the year 2024. A quasi-experimental research design (pretest–posttest) was applied, implementing an emotional management program with student-athletes in Piura. The sample was divided into an experimental group and a control group (n= 30 each). A five-point Likert scale was used to assess aspects of the competence “coexisting and participating democratically” across the dimensions of Interaction with Others, Construction of Rules and Agreements, Conflict Management, and Promotion of the Common Good. Notable improvements were observed in the experimental group at the end of the intervention process. Intragroup analysis revealed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores in the experimental group (p< 0.001), in contrast to the control group, which showed no significant variations. Likewise, intergroup posttest comparisons revealed significant differences in favor of the experimental group. Emotional management represents an effective means of fostering the competence “coexisting and participating democratically.” Emotional education should not be viewed as an alternative, but rather as an essential component of the school curriculum.
