Descripción

This article is the result of an investigation carried out on preschool children of the Madrigal San Francisco de Assis Educational Institution in Policarpa, Nariño, a population victim of the armed conflict in Colombia. The general objective was to identify proactive and prosocial behaviors to propose a pedagogical strategy that guides emotional training. The methodological design approach was the qualitative paradigm, with a descriptive and exploratory approach. For its development, techniques such as interviews were used that were developed in focus groups with directors, teachers, and parents as well as direct observation of students by the medium of videos and virtual meetings. The results allowed us to determine that the students present appropriate prosocial behaviors such as cooperation and help; in terms of proactive behaviors, they expressed difficulties in school coexistence due to a lack of authentic empathy and assertive communication.
