TEACHING SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS IN SCHOOL: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This article sought to review the scientific production between 2010 and 2020 of empirical studies that reported interventions for the development of socio-emotional skills in elementary schools. The search took place in four bibliographic databases (BVS, DOAJ, SciELO and Web of Science) using a combination of two sets of keywords, totaling 50 combinations. 53 articles were selected based on established criteria and presented in data categories. It was found that with different techniques/procedures, materials and school locations, it is possible to teach socio-emotional skills to students of any age, allowing them to fully develop throughout basic education, in other words, they develop the competences of knowing, doing, living together and being.
