Determinar el nivel de inteligencia social en los alumnos de Octavo de Educación General Básica de un colegio de la ciudad de Loja, para crear espacios armónicos educativos, durante 2023 - 2024

Abstract

Abstract: This research is focused on determining the degree of social intelligence in adolescents from thirteen to fourteen years old in the eighth year of basic general education and its impact on the creation of harmonious educational spaces, for which social intelligence is considered as the ability to relate assertively within different contexts, in this specific case the educational context. We worked in two phases: first, collecting already registered socio-economic information from the families in the sample; in the second phase, a validated questionnaire was applied, focused on five categories. The analysis of the results showed favorable data, since the trend indicated that there is a good degree of social intelligence and that the majority of students tend to assertively resolve different situations that arise in their daily school life, which reduces in the sample the possibility that conflictive situations are resolved through physical or verbal attacks. However, it does not seem necessary for the MINEDUC to implement subjects or workshops to acceptably develop social intelligence in students of all educational establishments, to reduce verbal and physical aggression and even counteract the consumption and sale of psychotropic substances within educational institutions.
