The development of emotional intelligence of talented third grade students

Abstract

This article addresses attention to students of high abilities and talents as a way of combining the search of excellence with the principles of educational equity. A solution is proposed to the contradiction between the need to provide differentiated attention to talented students for the development of emotional intelligence and current group pedagogical practice. Theoretical and empirical methods are used to address this problem, starting with a diagnosis of the situation in a third grade group. As a result, the creation of a brochure for the development of social skills is proposed, as part of the area of emotional intelligence, aimed at third grade students of the Fernando Cuesta Piloto semi-boarding school (SI).
