Abstract

This research focuses on the socio-emotional formation and its importance in the educational process of children, adolescents, and youth. Because of its importance, there is interest in analyzing the perspective that Colombian teachers have on the work in the socio-emotional formation that takes place in the educational institutions where they work. To achieve this, this research is approached from a qualitative approach of descriptive research with the implementation of a questionnaire-interview written online as a tool to collect data. Thus, findings such as the one that suggests that the socio-emotional formation has been oriented in a non-systematic way, encouraged the affirmation of the need to balance cognitive formation, which is offered to children, and the socio-emotional formation, because of its importance in the healthy relationship that every person must establish with themselves and with others which begins from the understanding and management of their own and others' emotions. Among the conclusions was mentioned that this dimension must be worked from an official curriculum so that, the needs of the classroom must be addressed in a structured way and the processes in educational institutions, must operate continuously and systematically to the benefit of the emotional development of students and teachers, for stable and peaceful school life.
