La poesía: educadora de emociones

Abstract

This work starts from the hypothesis that poetry is an ideal way to approach emotional education. After theoretically propping up the links between poetry and emotions, the intervention designed to implement in sixth grade of primary education is described under action research schemes. This is structured in four phases and it is proposed to modify the educational practices to achieve the proposed objectives. The aim of specifying the potential of poetry to deal with emotional education is based on a pretest / posttest quasi-experimental design, which is based on the case study between a group of students who have previously worked on (experimental) poetry and another that it has not (control). It should be noted that the intervention has taken the didactic sequence to face the teaching-learning process. The data is analyzed and the achievements are collected, which are manifested in the new perceptions and knowledge of the students about the binomial poetry-emotions.
