Sumario:Socio-emotional skills were investigated as elements associated with cognitive skills from a qualitative perspective in classrooms during the teaching of sciences in sixth grade. This study used classroom observation instruments, interviews with teachers and principals, and a student survey, adapted from the 2019 ERCE Student Questionnaire (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO/OREALC], 2022). The study highlighted a positive classroom environment leading to socio-emotional development. A willingness to create conditions towards the development of socio-emotional skills was confirmed. Challenges included a need to improve didactic organization to more accurately direct learning situations for the various socio-emotional skills, problem-solving, attention to needs, and mechanisms for strengthening self-discipline. Another challenge is the need to encourage participation in the construction of learning related to socio-emotional skills and metacognition.
