Emotional education in students and its influence on reducing conflicts in classrooms

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how emotional education in students influences the reduction and management of classroom conflicts, improving school coexistence. A bibliographic and documentary review was used to compile and analyze recent academic studies on emotional intelligence applied in school contexts. Among the reviewed sources are research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and school coexistence, studies on conflict management styles, and papers on emotional training programs for teachers. It was observed that teachers with higher emotional intelligence tend to use more constructive strategies to manage conflicts. The study concludes that emotional education through the development of emotional intelligence in students plays a key role in reducing classroom conflicts. When students learn to identify, express, and regulate their emotions, peer relationships improve, and they use fewer aggressive or disruptive behaviors. Therefore, it is recommended that schools systematically integrate emotional education programs, not only for the emotional well-being of students but also as an effective strategy to promote peaceful coexistence and manage school conflicts.
