Abstract

The research was conducted to demonstrate that the implementation of a program to improve children’s social skills at an educational institution, does increase such skills, considering the components of the Bar-On model of emotional-social intelligence. The non-probabilistic purposive sample consisted of 17 students from 8-10 years old of 4th grade elementary school, of both sexes; a pre experimental research with pretest and posttest designs with just one group were used. The Questionnaire Inventory Ratio ICE-BarOn Emotional Intelligence and the Social Skills Program of Arándiga Vallés, adapted by the authors of the research were used. For statistical analysis, nonparametric Wilcoxon test was used, showing that the implementation of the program of social skills improved significantly such skills, considering the components of emotional intelligence of BarOn.
