About

The purpose of the study is to develop adolescents' social-emotional abilities to foster their personal and social responsibility, as well as their well-being, by means of a school-based intervention that addresses students, teachers and parents who participate in a social-emotional program using a technological platform. The program consists of activities based on solid theoretical frameworks on emotional intelligence, development of responsibility and meaningful learning.

Full description

EmoTIC is an emotional education program focused on the development of social-emotional competences through an application that can be used in mobile devices and tablets.The program is based on a space adventure, and provides reinforcement through score points and more time for the additional games. The duration of the program is 8 weeks.

The emoTIC 8 version is designed so that teachers can easily carry it out in their classrooms. The application consists of application-guided activities that are put into practice in class, and includes other exercises that are meant to be carried out at home. The activities that are designed to be carried out during school hours are named "missions", and the exercises the students will do at home are called "trainings". Both are essential to adequately conduct the intervention.

The emoTIC SPACE version is designed so that it is carried out autonomously at home, through application-guided activities. This version includes 8 activities for each of the 4 areas.
