Methodological procedure to develop emotional autonomy in university students/Procedimiento metodológico para desarrollar la autonomía emocional en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

University students are living today in an unprecedented socio-psychological situation due to the impact of COVID-19. Various negative emotions have been experienced as a result of this. Attention to this problem is of vital importance for the training of these future professionals, however, in interviews with the teachers, it was found that they have insufficient preparation for such professional performance. To mitigate this insufficiency, it is proposed to develop a methodological procedure that allows the development of the emotional autonomy of university students during the teaching-learning process, which will improve the preparation of teachers aimed at attending to the emotional problems of their students in times pandemic. Depending on its realization, theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, historical-logical and modeling were used. The individual interview with teachers and students was also used as empirical method to delve into the problem investigated. As a result, a methodological procedure of great value was obtained as it constitutes an accurate guide to all education professionals for their educational work based on the development of the personality of their students and especially their emotional autonomy. This prepares them for life in pandemic situations.
