Social-emotional education: review of proposals on the role of emotions in guiding actions towards well-being

Throughout the experience and professional in teaching to provide skills and abilities in the clinical and health area, cognitive models have opened a series of reference points on the scope of models related to emotions and their role in people's wellbeing. Based on Caro (1997), the points to be developed in the cognitive models have currently generated proposals oriented to the clinical area as well as to health promotion. In recent years, emotions have been incorporated as a fundamental axis for their teaching aimed at reorienting the quality of life in human development. The present proposal is based on a reflection on the fundamental notions about emotions and the way in which grounded approaches of actions are proposed for the valuation of cognitive and social factors that represent an axis on which the direction of change in their role in human development is oriented. Concurrently, I will describe the proposals to be considered in a broad construction framework in which the learning, transformation and adjustment of emotions to human development is expressed in a psychological-cultural-social continuum.
