Abstract
The objective of the work presented is to develop emotional competencies in higher-education students by following Bisquerra’s five-block model. With the methodological support of adventure pedagogy and gamification, students improve their emotional competencies, as well as the basic competencies of the degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences and the specific ones of the subject. The proposal, which is entitled “In search of my Avatar”, aims to make sure that, in their future as sports professionals, they will be able to serve their customers in a fully competent way. The work presented proposes different activities of emotional education to work transversally in higher education, ranging from conflict management and the use of language to improve the relationship with oneself and with others. The proposal was developed for the Degree in Sports Science and for the subject of Physical Activity and Sport in the Natural Environment, but with certain adaptations, it could be transferred to any university-degree subject.
Highlights
The education system in higher education should be oriented toward the full development of the students in their cognitive, behavioral and emotional facets and enable them in any performance context
The activities that we are going to propose induce significant changes in which the students become aware of the need to change certain habits for their emotional benefits [24]
These, in addition, must be based on several premises, among which are being aware of the need to acquire CE, having sufficient motivation to achieve it, knowing how to obtain this knowledge, putting into practice what is being learned and having the responsibility to persevere in one’s learning [60]
Summary
The education system in higher education should be oriented toward the full development of the students in their cognitive, behavioral and emotional facets and enable them in any performance context. Acquiring emotional competencies improves social and interpersonal relationships, helps to resolve conflicts and favors physical and mental health [4,5]. For this reason, the development of these competencies in future graduates in physical activity and sport sciences is essential due to the experience that clients have when carrying out this type of activity (fears, frustration, leaving their comfort zone, abandonment of physical activity practice, worsening of their physical health status, etc.) [6,7]. Due to the lack of training in emotional competencies, there is a need to promote it [8]
