Keywords:

Emotional development plays a fundamental role in student learning and well-being in early childhood and primary education. This study examines the influence of emotions in the classroom, exploring how socio-emotional education and emotional regulation can impact academic performance, conflict resolution, and social interaction. Through a literature review and a questionnaire administered to teachers, a close relationship was identified between emotional education and motivation, school climate, and stress management. The results highlight the need to integrate emotional strategies into the school curriculum, as well as the importance of teacher training in this area. The study concludes that an educational approach that considers emotional development as an essential part of learning significantly contributes to students' comprehensive education.
