Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, to test the effectiveness of a structured emotional education program in second, third and fourth grade primary school students and, on the other hand, to test the differential effect of such a program in relation to an incidental tutorial action focused on the ordinary school curriculum. A randomized controlled trial is proposed in Lauro Ikastola with three experimental groups (second, third and fourth of primary education) and three active control groups (one for each of the three courses) with pretest and posttest and with the duration of a school year.


Description:

The implementation of emotional education in educational centers is increasingly necessary for the promotion of a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being in children throughout the entire educational stage, and especially in early stages of development. The present work aims at a double verification. On the one hand, it is intended to test the effectiveness of a structured program of emotional education in second, third and fourth grade of primary education and, on the other hand, to test the differential effect of this program in relation to an incidental tutorial action based on the ordinary school curriculum. A randomized controlled trial is proposed in Lauro Ikastola with three experimental groups (second, third and fourth year of primary education) and three active control groups (one for each of the three courses) with pretest and posttest and with the duration of a school year. The general objective of the proposal is the promotion of the emotional well-being of children in a particularly turbulent stage of the school cycle (2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of Primary Education) and the prevention of behavioral and/or emotional problems that may arise in later stages. The specific objectives to be achieved through the intervention in the priority population are the improvement in the following aspects: 1) Emotional intelligence; 2) Self-concept; 3) Socialization; 4) Emotional problems (depression and anxiety); 5) Behavioral problems (anger control, behavioral problems and impulsivity); and 6) Contextual problems (problems among peers). Additionally, the following two objectives are set as indirect results of the intervention in the agents involved: 5) to improve the emotional development of the parents whose children participate in the program; 6) to improve the emotional development of the tutors in charge of implementing the program. The total sample is made up of 157 primary school students from Lauro Ikastola HLBHIP, a private school for infant, primary, secondary and high school education (municipality of Lujua, Vizcaya). From each of the three grades for which the program is intended (2nd, 3rd and 4th), two classes per grade will be selected by accessibility, which will be randomly assigned to the control group (CG) or the experimental group (GE). The emotional education program (ULERTUZ) will be applied to the experimental group and the control group will follow the academic curriculum provided by each school for each school year. The main measurement instruments will be the Adult Emotional Development Questionnaire (CDE-A), the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Inventory EQ-I:YV, the Socialization Battery (BAS 1-2), the System for the Assessment of Children and Adolescents (SENA) and the Beck Inventory for Children and Adolescents-2 (BYI-2).

Intervention

Behavioral:
Structured emotional education program (PEE)
The principal investigator, together with the class-tutor of the experimental groups, conducts the 20 activities of which the program is composed during the hour dedicated to tutorial action. The sessions are held at Lauro School on Monday mornings in the respective classrooms, with the possibility of using the courtyard and other multipurpose rooms if the activities so require. Each session lasts one hour and is held throughout the school year 23-24.
Incidental tutorial action based on the school's regular curriculum (PCO)
One hour tutorial action per week according to the regular school curriculum. This curriculum contemplates the incidental approach to the problems that arise in daily life and the work with the KIVA program.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in emotional intelligence Bar-On EQ-I:YV. BarOn Emotional Intelligence Inventory: youth version. Spanish version Age of application: 7 to 18 years old. The inventory is composed of 60 items to assess emotional intelligence and its different socioemotional components by means of several scales (Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Adaptability, Stress Management and General Mood), in addition to providing an index of total Emotional Intelligence. It has two response control scales (Inconsistencies and Positive Impression), can be applied in individual or group format and lasts approximately 20-25 minutes. Baseline 1 week before treatment, Post-treatment 8 months from baseline
Primary Change in self-concept BYI-2, Beck Inventories for Children and Adolescents-2. Spanish adaptation. The Beck Child and Adolescent Inventories-2 (BYI-2) are five questionnaires published by Pearson and aimed at the assessment of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept in children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years and 11 months. They are short, self-administered questionnaires that can be used separately or combined, and are simple and quick to administer. Each inventory consists of 20 statements, formulated in the first person, about thoughts, feelings or behaviors related to emotional and social disorders, to be answered with a frequency scale of four options (Never = 0; Sometimes = 1; Often = 2; Always = 3). The application time is between 5 and 10 minutes for each inventory. In the present case, we will only use the Beck Self-Concept Inventory for Children and Adolescents (BSCI-Y). Baseline 1 week before treatment, Post-treatment 8 months from baseline
Secondary Change in in emotional problems: anxiety and depression. SENA. Child and Adolescent Assessment System (Fernández-Pinto, I., Santamaría, P., Sánchez-Sánchez, F., Carrasco, M.

The purpose of the SENA is the multi-source assessment of a broad spectrum of emotional and behavioral problems (depression, anxiety, hyperactivity and impulsivity, disruptive behavior, substance use, eating behavior problems, learning problems...), contextual problems (problems with family, school and peers), as well as areas of vulnerability (emotional regulation problems, isolation, rigidity...) and psychological resources (self-esteem, social integration and competence, emotional intelligence...). The age of application is from 3 to 18 years old and has 3 different levels depending on the age of the persons assessed . Baseline 1 week before treatment, Post-treatment 8 months from baseline

Secondary Change in socialization BAS. Socialization Battery (Silva and Martorell, 1983). Version for teachers (BAS-1) and version for parents (BAS-2). Age of application: 6 to 15 years old.
