Thus, it is essential to promote the development of digital competencies in future teachers, enabling them to create effective learning situations in the digital medium. Moreover, the European university curriculum includes a set of specific competencies (specific to each degree) and a series of generic competencies, many of which are related to emotional intelligence. Our work emerges from these specific premises and the more general need to develop emotional skills and learning abilities in virtual environments for future educators. Methods: The sample comprised 240 students in higher education, pursuing a bachelor's degree in education at the University of Alicante, Spain (68.3% were female and average age of the participants was 19.43 years SD = 4.127). Using a quasi-experimental design with pretests, posttests, and a control group, we present the effects of an online program aimed at improving the emotional skills and academic achievement of future teachers in higher education. In this study, a 30-h emotional intelligence training program was implemented. Since the student sample was grouped into different classes, we analyzed, using a generalized linear mixed-effects model, whether students who took the program showed a significant improvement in their academic achievement at the end of their studies, compared to those who did not take it. Results: The findings show a significant improvement in the academic achievement at the end of the bachelor's degree studies of the students in the experimental group. Discussion: These results open up a field of possibilities for the implementation of this type of training using virtual environments, enabling interventions to enhance the emotional development of the teaching staff (and, subsequently, in their students), develop their teaching careers adequately, and employ the ideal strategies to address educational programs. Looking ahead, the integration of emotional development programs that incorporate emerging technology into university curricula could enhance the preparation of educators profoundly and create adaptable learning environments for contemporary students.

The Training Course on Emotional Intelligence (TCEI) offers the opportunity for secondary students to develop their emotional intelligence cooperatively applying their new knowledge to solve real-world problems. A total of 158 secondary education students participated in this educational experience. A combination of both in-person classes and online classes was used in this program in a virtual campus according to the flipped classroom methodology. The TCEI prepares students to think critically and analytically, to learn about one's own feelings and other people's emotions, and to find and use appropriate emotional learning resources. The results indicate that improvement in emotional intelligence is possible using our program. The implications of these results for incorporating emotional competencies into secondary education curriculum are discussed.

Indeed, generic competencies related to EI have been included in university curricula. However, learning EI involves significant time and effort on the part of students, and this may hinder the acquisition of specific content for each degree. In this study, an intervention to develop EI in higher education students is described and evaluated. Methods: The intervention consisted of eight group sessions performed in a regular course aiming to increase EI. The sessions included strategies and training on perceiving and understanding one's own emotions and others' emotions, identifying and understanding the impact one's own feelings in adopting decisions, expressing one's own emotions and the stress experienced, and managing both one's own emotions and emotions of others. Participants were 192 students studying for a Master of Primary Education degree. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was adopted. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated using multi-level analyses. Results: The results showed a significant improvement in the EI of students in the experimental group compared with the control group. Conclusions: This research demonstrates that it is possible to develop EI in higher education students, without hindering the acquisition of specific content competencies and, therefore, without interfering with their academic performance and without overburdening students with work outside the classroom.

La Inteligencia Emocional implica dos competencias importantes para lograr el exito: (1) la capacidad de reconocer las emociones propias y ajenas; asi como (2) la capacidad de utilizar esa informacion para resolver conflictos y mejorar las interacciones con otras personas.Los resultados mostraron que ensenar habilidades de Inteligencia Emocional en un contexto interdisciplinario de TIC es una forma de mejorar la calidad de la ensenanza y el compromiso de los estudiantes en el marco de la Educacion Superior. De esta manera, estamos tratando de mantener y mejorar la calidad de la Educ...

El objetivo es optimizar la preparacion del alumnado universitario para la superacion de las demandas reales que tiene que afrontar en su vida cotidiana y, especialmente, una vez egrese de las aulas. El contenido del programa aborda diversos campos de actualidad: la experiencia de fluidez, inteligencias multiples y talentos, fortalezas personales, creatividad, mindfulness, comprension y gestion de emociones, busqueda de la excelencia y, por ultimo, establecimiento de sinergias positivas en entornos de alto rendimiento. La metodologia prevista incluye un procedimiento cuasi-experimental cuantitativo, con grupo control y experimental y dos fases de investigacion (pretest y postest).

Therefore, this study highlights the educational purpose of improving emotional management and social skills as well as decreasing antisocial and criminal behaviour among secondary education students through an educational training programme. Accordingly, to verify the effectiveness of the project, a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test structure and a control group was adopted. To achieve this, a total of 141 Spanish secondary school students participated in this study and were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions. The first (experimental) group (n = 55) participated in the training programme; correspondingly, the second group (control) (n = 57) followed the usual mentoring activities planned for the entire educational centre. Of the total number of pa...

Desde el ambito de la docencia, es imprescindible tener en cuenta sus diversos enfoques (formativa, sumativa, etc.), la correcta relacion con el resto de elementos del curriculum, asi como las posibilidades de mejora a partir del analisis o diseno de nuevos instrumentos. En el ambito de la asignatura Trabajo fin de Master, este proceso de analisis cobra una mayor relevancia, al ser una asignatura final en donde el alumno/a debe demostrar que ha adquirido una serie de competencias clave en la titulacion que cursa. Por ello, el objetivo de esta red de investigacion en docencia universitaria se basa en el analisis de la guia docente del Trabajo fin de Master de la titulacion Master en Formacion del Profesorado, Especialidad Orientacion Educativa; y disenar un instrumento de evaluacion basado en el empleo de rubricas. La metodologia se enmarca en el trabajo colaborativo de los profesores qu...

The primary goal of this research is to present an educational proposal for imparting socio-emotional competencies among primary school students. We attempt to impart socio-emotional competencies based on: (1) fostering self-knowledge, self-esteem, and respect for others among students; (2) developing behaviors that allow them to perceive and express feelings and self-regulating emotions; and (3) developing assertive communication skills aimed at improving conflict resolution. This program has been designed in such a way that it is implemented throughout the academic year by organizing bi-monthly sessions of 45 min each, held until the completion of 15 sessions. The sample consists of 100 students in the third grade, with the control and experimental groups having an equal number of students (50 ea...

En el ambito de la asignatura del Trabajo Fin de Master (TFM), se ha tratado de mejorar los indicadores de calidad de los trabajos; sin embargo, todavia no se han tenido en cuenta ninguna evaluacion por parte del alumnado que permita detectar carencias o fortalezas durante el proceso de realizacion y defensa del trabajo. Por ello, la siguiente propuesta tiene como principales objetivos: 1. Revisar la calidad de los instrumentos empleados para evaluacion del TFM de la titulacion Master de Formacion del Profesorado, especialidad Orientacion Educativa. 2.
