Official title: Effects of a Four Weeks Social Emotional and Ethical Learning Training in Brazilian Public School Teachers: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has gained importance in recent years and has been taught in several schools to support students in how to recognize and manage emotions, develop empathy, build cooperative relationships, solve problems effectively, and gain skills of communication. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of a training of 4-week Social Emotional and Ethical Learning on stress, well-being, socioemotional learning literacy, positive and negative affect, attention, and competent. This study will also assess the perception of teachers about training and its impact on their teaching skills and in personal life. Methods: Elementary and Secondary School Teachers public in Brazil (N = 1,500) will be invited to participate in the SEE training Learning. After signing the Free and Informed Consent Term, the they will be randomized into two groups A and B. Both groups will be before the experiment (T0), after one month (T1) and after two months (T2). ONE SEE Learning Training (SEELT) and B will be a checklist control group. Standby (WLC) for one month. After that, B will receive SEELT and A will not receive intervention, but will be guided to maintain the practices learned. RESULTS EXPECTED: The groups after receiving the SEELT should present better results relating to their socio-emotional skills, stress management, increase in well-being and knowledge about these skills, are still so, better prepared to teach their students.
