Incidencia de las funciones ejecutivas control emocional y flexibilidad cognitiva en la práctica docente

Abstract

Abstract: Executive functions facilitate self-regulation, monitoring, planning and problem solving. The Specialized Educational Unit Ciudad de Loja No. 1 has carried out a study with the objective of knowing the executive functions of teachers, emphasizing cognitive flexibility and emotional control. Educators must strengthen the ability to control impulsive actions and generate responses mediated by attention and reasoning. The development of the teacher's executive functions determines characteristic features of his pedagogical action. It is necessary to promote reflection scenarios to promote awareness of the executive functions of teachers, and thus guarantee a classroom climate conducive to learning. In addition, pedagogical strategies must be implemented that strengthen executive functions, emotional control and cognitive flexibility in the teachers of the Ciudad de Loja Specialized Educational Unit No. 1, for which I propose the workshop on cognitive flexibility and emotional intelligence applied to education, which will allow teachers the control of emotions, and better cope with the stress that teaching work entails.
