The importance of socioemotional education in the teaching and learning process developed in the “leader in me” program of the Baptist fundamental school

Abstract

This article aims to present a reflection about the importance of socioemotional education in the teaching and learning process, the Educational Leadership Program, focusing on pedagogical practice and formative and humanizing intentionality, with the school institution as an influencer and as a space effectiveness, contributing to the formation of subjects in the schooling processes. This work aims to show the importance of a more humanized educational practice capable of emancipating, liberating and directing the human being to awaken a new self-awareness, thus making him a more reflective and critical citizen, where he will become part of his own educational process and consequently its history. The reflections presented here are the result of a research carried out in an elementary school in the city of Santa Maria, RS. Based on Paulo Freire's theoretical concepts, these concepts bring elements that contribute to the construction of learning that has the humanization of subjects as a horizon. These conceptions are materialized in attitudes, choices and relationships undertaken in educational practice in which students are understood as social and historical beings, who, as they develop through dialogue, the critical perception of reality, become capable of produce their own knowledge and create conditions for a more effective performance in society.
