Listening to My Inner Voice: Emotional Management in High School Students

Abstract

Socio-emotional education is an area of great relevance for educational institutions, as it offers significant benefits for the holistic development of students. Within this framework, and as part of the Educational Guidance course, students of the Bachelor’s Degree in Pedagogy at Universidad Villasunción, Encarnación de Díaz campus, designed, implemented, and evaluated a guidance workshop at the Centro de Bachillerato Tecnológico Agropecuario No. 229. The purpose of the workshop was to foster self-esteem and emotional management among upper secondary students by strengthening their internal dialogue. This practice was grounded in the Psychopedagogical Intervention Methodology proposed by Zavala and Villalpando (n.d.). The results showed progress in emotional awareness, positive self-perception, and active student participation. Therefore, it is recommended that upper secondary education institutions integrate similar educational practices to strengthen the holistic development of their learning communities.
