Evaluation of the impact of emotional education on academic performance in adolescents
Main Article Content
Abstract
This literature review addresses the impact of emotional education on the academic performance of adolescents, based on the critical context represented by this stage in human development and the need to improve educational outcomes through socioemotional interventions. For this purpose, a systematic search and qualitative analysis of recent studies published in recognized databases was carried out, evaluating programs, emotional competencies and their effects on learning. The results show that the development of emotional competencies, such as self-regulation, empathy and social skills, improves concentration, motivation and reduces anxiety, favoring better academic performance and a positive school climate. Likewise, the implementation of structured emotional education programs in schools contributes to reduce disruptive behaviors and to enhance healthy interpersonal relationships, which strengthens the overall well-being of students. It is concluded that the continuous and systematic integration of emotional education in the school curriculum is fundamental to form resilient, emotionally competent adolescents capable of successfully facing the academic and social challenges of the 21st century.
