Resumen: El objetivo del trabajo es diagnosticar la Inteligencia Emocional autoinformada en un grupo de alumnos de Primaria, tras un Proyecto de Investigación Escolar sobre el estudio del Entorno. Para ello, se utiliza el único test adaptado para medir la Inteligencia Emocional en niños y jóvenes, "Emotional Quotient Inventory (Young version) EQi-YV" (Bar-On y Parker, 2000), en concreto su versión española (Ferrando, 2006). Dicho test se pasa a una muestra de 68 niños de 5º de Primaria, para conocer el estado de los diferentes factores que integran la Inteligencia Emocional según estos autores y si existe alguna diferencia según el sexo. Una vez obtenidos los resultados, los

Since their implementation in the Spanish educational system, competencies occupy a relevant place, since they are the axis around which the other elements of the curriculum revolve. However, the competence development of secondary students does not seem to be the most desirable. Consequently, it is essential to study the elements involved in this problem as a first step to reverse this situation. Among these variables, we consider the textbook as an especially relevant element, due to its important presence in the classrooms and in principle, its obligatory, competency character. Therefore, the objective has been to analyze if the competence development of the students of the first cycle of secondary is favored by textbooks of Nature Sciences. For this purpose, a qualitative-quantitative methodological approach has been chosen, since on the one hand, the activities of the textbooks of three publishing houses with a large presence in the classrooms are examined and, on the other hand, the opinions of a group of professors as the main responsible for its use. The results show that the didactic sequence is inadequate, an appropriate diversity of resources is lacking, and the cognitive development promoted by the activities is low. Likewise, teachers state that competencies are not favored, due among other factors, to the rote learning promoted by said manuals, despite which it continues to be a resource of great relevance in their classes. Consequently, it would be necessary to review these from a competency-based approach and their use in the classroom, as well as a reflection on the requirements necessary for a change in educational policy, such as the introduction of competences, to reverse the classroom properly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
