The purpose of this investigative experience was to characterize the students of Danlí Regional University Center of the National Pedagogical University Francisco Morazán related with the management of emotional intelligence, emotional barriers and to know the didactic pedagogical experiences implemented by teachers at the CRU Danlí to reinforce them. Through a mixed methodology and from a sequential design with a sample consisting of 70 students and 9 teachers. The results allowed us to affirm that most of the students presented an adequate level of emotional intelligence. On the other hand, they manifested emotional barriers that lied on: concern for the opinion of others, difficulty managing their emotions when facing family conflicts, low self-esteem, fear of failure, impulsiveness in decision-making, shyness, fear of making mistakes and procrastination of academic activities. That is why, pedagogical experiences must be implemented as part of workshops, ludic exercises and activities that encourage dialogue between teachers and students to decrease those barriers.
