Emotional Education in the classroom
Specialization online course

Education has been aimed at the integral development of students, giving importance to socio-emotional skills. In the official UNESCO report “Education contains a treasure”, prepared by Jacques Delors in 1996, it is mentioned that “it is no longer enough for each individual to accumulate at the beginning of their life a reserve of knowledge to which they will be able to draw on later without limits. Above all, they must be in a position to take advantage of and use every opportunity that comes their way to update, deepen and enrich this first knowledge and to adapt to a world in permanent change throughout their lives ”. The four pillars of education are also exposed so that these missions can be fulfilled: learn to know, learn to do, learn to live together and learn to be.

In these four pillars of education, the first two (learning to know and learning to do) focus on acquiring knowledge and putting it into practice in life.
The other two (learning to live together and learning to be) focus on social and emotional skills, which have not been given the necessary attention in the classroom
In the same report it is mentioned that “in each structured teaching system, each of these four pillars of knowledge must receive equivalent attention“.
