Abstract

The objective of the present study was to apply an intervention program based on emotional education and self-knowledge in students of the degree in Education to verify changes in wisdom to improve their psychological health and emotional well-being. For this, Three-dimensional Wisdom Scale (3S-WS) was administered before and after the intervention, analyzing aspects related to affective, cognitive and reflective wisdom. The sample consisted of 100 students (40 men and 60 women, aged between 20 and 29 years). After the intervention program, students improved reflective wisdom without an identifiable difference between sexes. On the other hand, men had higher values in all variables than women. In conclusion, the program to improve personal development and self-awareness could be useful to improve wisdom (especially reflective wisdom) in third and fourth year students of the degree in Education specializing in Physical Education. At the same time, it is intended that these students understand the foundations of the intervention so that in the future it can be replicated in their classrooms and contribute to the sustainable development of the 2030 Agenda.

Summary

Education must train students in identity and values to obtain adequate adaptation and social integration. For this purpose, we highlight in this article the importance of training and progressing in “personal development and awareness”, considering it a pillar on which to support the personality maturation process, to promote a positive attitude and gain confidence and responsibility within both the academic and personal spheres [1,2]. Corporal expression is part of the current educational reality and allows the development of the expressive and communicative capacity of the person. The elements to consider for the development of expressive capacity are knowledge and personal development (disinhibition, personal expressive-segmental knowledge and personal knowledge-adaptation to the environment), interpersonal communication
