Abstract
CAICEDO VEGA, Jennifer Lizeth; SORNOZA VERA, Karla María and ZUMBADO FERNANDEZ, Héctor Manuel. Social skills and school coexistence in initial education children. Conrado [online]. 2024, vol.20, n.96, pp. 206-215. Epub Feb 28, 2024. ISSN 1990-8644.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of social skills and school coexistence in early education children. A qualitative-quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional, and observational case study was conducted to diagnose social skills and school coexistence in 32 early education children (15 boys and 17 girls, aged 5 years) from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Educational Unit in the city of Portoviejo, Manabí province, Ecuador. The participant observation method was employed, and the diagnosis of social skills and school coexistence was carried out using two observation guides that were validated by experts, also determining their internal reliability using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The evaluated subjects were predominantly placed in the high and medium levels of development for social skills (94%) and school coexistence (91%), with no significant differences found between genders. Additionally, moderate correlations were found among the majority of dimensions and between the two analyzed variables.
