Development of emotional management in the classroom

Emotions play a fundamental role in learning because they directly affect processes that can favor or hinder it. In this context we describe a classroom experience based on principles of Neuropedagogy applied through the project My body my temple with the purpose of promoting emotional recognition and regulation in students of a high school in Italy who take Spanish as a foreign language. For this purpose the case study was defined as the methodology with a sample of 15 adolescent participants who explored their emotions through experiential activities. To evaluate the impact of the intervention a 16-question questionnaire was administered. The results indicate that integrating the emotional dimension into the teaching-learning dynamic is essential to motivate students to develop their emotional intelligence and improve their language skills.
