THE SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DIMENSION: A CURRENT CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION
One of the current problems facing educational systems is framed in the limited attention given to the socio-emotional dimension from the teaching-learning process; In general, there is a tendency to focus the process on cognitive issues, as well as on the formation of technological skills, ignoring the importance of socio-emotional aspects, which, in addition to having a significant influence on the comprehensive learning of students, are increasingly necessary to solve life problems.
There are multiple ways to develop educational programs with a socio-emotional focus at various school stages; among them, the following stand out in general: the conceptualization and classification of emotions, the characteristics of the main emotions, affective phenomena, emotion and health, emotion and motivation, emotional self-knowledge and recognition of the emotions of others. Likewise, the importance of addressing aspects related to: tolerance to frustration, anger management, emotional regulation strategies, socio-emotional behaviors, positive attitude towards life, ethical and social responsibility, critical analysis of social norms and emotions in decision-making, as well as subjective well-being and quality of life, among others, is recognized.
This issue offers, in its MONOGRAPHIC section, the possibility to present contributions that address research, innovations and experiences in educational practice, in relation to the different perspectives on the socio-emotional dimension, both from the learning process of students at different educational levels, as well as in the training of teachers, who are responsible for its implementation during their professional performance.
We remind you that in this new stage of the journal's development, the RESEARCH IN EDUCATION section is added to its monographic section; this section will contain works that are unrelated to the monograph topic and is a possibility offered to authors to publish articles derived from educational research, hence, its content cannot lack the essential elements of the process (theoretical framework, methodology, results and discussion), as well as they must comply with the structure regulated by the journal for this type of article.
