Programa edu-comunicacional en el desarrollo de habilidades para la vida en los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Particular “Liceo Nuevo Mundo periodo 2022-2023

Abstract

Providing comprehensive education to adolescents requires equipping them with the necessary socio-emotional skills to tackle the challenges of daily life. Neglecting these skills can lead to gaps in an individual's social development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of an Edu-communicational Program on the development of life skills in students of the Private Educational Unit 'Liceo Nuevo Mundo' for the 2022-2023 school year. Competencies such as effective communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and empathy were targeted. The study employed mixed methods research, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Tests were conducted before and after implementing the program to evaluate changes in life skills. These findings allow the researchers to understand the students' perception of the Edu-communication program and refine it as a pedagogical tool. The results showed a significant increase in the acquisition of socio-emotional skills after the program's intervention, as well as improvements in self-esteem and peer relationships. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of educational programs in the overall development of students, contributing to the field of education. The research, therefore, highlights the importance of integrating life skills education into the curriculum, recognizing its fundamental role in educating competent and resilient individuals.
