¿Existe relación entre las habilidades socioemocionales y el rendimiento académico en las pruebas estandarizadas? Estudio empírico en adolescentes colombianos
(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Arango Tobón, Valeria; Agudelo Arbeláez, Valentina; Hernández Flórez, Mónica
The study of Colombian academic performance lacks a deep analysis of socio-emotional skills. Through a multiple linear regression model, this study analyzed the relationship between socioemotional skills and academic performance for more than 2,800 9th grade students in more than 463 educational institutions around Colombia. The analysis shows that there is a relationship of 36.6% between socio-emocional skills and the average in the Saber 9 tests. It was found that the skills of external intrinsic motivation, empathy and self-beliefs are closely related to the result in the tests, showing that focusing on students' social-emotional skills is of great importance if the goal is to improve overall academic performance.
