The Emotional education assisted by dogs, as a bridge to well-being in the classroom
Keywords:
Classroom, dogs, emotional education, emotional intelligence, well-beingAbstract
The reality of our changing society requires the binomy cognition-emotion to be inseparable to shape students integrally. For this, it is indispensable to develop emotional intelligence by means of the teaching and learning processes and the increase of socio-emotional skills through Emotional education at schools. With Socio-emotional skills in the classroom it is less probable the appearance of disruptive behaviour. On the contrary, positive environment and well-being are encouraged in the classrooms. On the basis of the idea that to know, to express and to manage properly our emotions is necessary and beneficial, dogs are incorporated in the Emotional Education classroom practice to create bonds with the students to improve the dynamics of the activities. Within this frame, it is our intention to analyze the contribution of Emotional Education assisted by dogs in the classroom to encourage well-being and support the teaching-learning processes. From this point on, we will describe specifically the experience of our workshop at School 14 of the City of Buenos Aires.
