Socioemotional
We live in a society where there is increasing concern about people's mental health and well-being in general, and in recent years, starting in 2017 (the year the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC was published), concern has turned to children and adolescents, especially due to the discussion about socio-emotional skills. In the BNCC, the descriptors of socio-emotional skills, which must be worked on and developed at school, are directly related to mental health and well-being. Although many scholars have been talking about education and socio-emotional skills since long before the publication of the BNCC, it was after this that schools and teachers began to be held accountable for the work they do in this area. Reading texts and articles about these discussions around competencies led to reflections about them, initially from the teacher's perspective and, later, it was felt necessary to verify the students' perspective in relation to the competencies. In this dissertation, we find reflections and concepts about socio-emotional competencies, from legal to pedagogical, and also the point of view of students - high school graduates from public state schools in Porto Alegre. We chose to focus on senior students because it is expected that they, in addition to having a greater perception of socio-emotional competencies, will be able to give their opinion, in the sense of declaring whether they feel involved and fundamental in the process of developing these competencies. The students were subjected to a mini-seminar format awareness-raising about socio-emotional competencies and, subsequently, they had to answer a questionnaire (Google forms) with questions related to their knowledge and perception of these competencies. Several authors were researched and their texts analyzed, which supported the reflections contained in this dissertation and which deal with socio-emotional skills, in addition to socio-emotional education, established by a specific manual established by the Ministry of Education - MEC. The National Common Curricular Base - BNCC, which determines and specifies socio-emotional skills, serves as a legal basis to support the reflections of this work.
