The Characterization of teaching strategies to strengthen social skills in primary school students at the I.E San Andrés

Abstract

Social skills are developed by strengthening communication skills, collaboration, negotiation and conflict resolution. These skills allow individuals to cope with the various dynamics of society and, in turn, deploy their social skills. In this sense, the present research characterizes the teaching strategies that teachers at the San Andrés Educational Institution can use to develop social skills in primary education students. To do this, a quantitative design with a descriptive approach was used and a survey was applied to teachers to collect data. These teachers state that they explain each of them in detail and their possible influence on the lives of the students. 14.3% of the teachers surveyed indicated that they use round table talks, debates and discussions to promote these skills. By characterizing these methodological approaches, it can be concluded that it would be beneficial to modify towards pedagogical projects that allow students to address problems in their daily lives. In this way, they would not only learn about problem solving, mediation and assertive communication, but also about active listening and collaborative work, skills that would be essential for the development of social skills.
