The development of emotional intelligence of talented third grade

Abstract

This article addresses the attention given to high-ability and talented students as a way to combine the pursuit of excellence with the principles of educational equity. A solution is proposed to the existing contradiction between the need to provide differentiated attention to talented students for the development of emotional intelligence and the current pedagogical practice in group settings. The problem is approached using theoretical and empirical methods, 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 emotional intelligence area, aimed at third-grade students at the Fernando Cuesta Piloto semi-boarding school.
