Contributions from Psychology and Didactics: emotional development and academic

Abstract

The paper aims to describe the theoretical foundations that support the relationship between emotional development and academic performance in adolescents. A descriptive methodology is used. Education must be seen and analysed as a multidimensional and multifactorial process; It will depend at a primary level on students and teachers, until it reaches the organizational level, which is in the hands of the government institutions that direct and structure it. But the learning processes cannot be absolute with the achievement of pre-established goals by the educational institution, if not they will be under the influence of internal or external situations of the student's life. In our research it became clear that there are multiple correlational research projects that address both the emotional sphere and academic performance. Research lines make particular reference to emotional intelligence and its influence on academic performance. The studies carried out leave the relationship between the cognitive and the emotional and the importance it has in the educational field.
