Abstract

Socioemotional competence is a construct that in recent years has received greater interest in studying and applying it to the educational field. However, it has been complicated to define it, making it difficult to establish adequate methodologies and procedures for its evaluation. This theoretical review article on evaluation models of socio-emotional competencies aims to review and analyze different theoretical approaches to socio-emotional competencies, identifying evaluation models that allow defining suitable strategies for their evaluation in scientific research in the educational area. When analyzing the articles found under the inclusion criteria, three thematic axes are established: Definition of socio-emotional competence/ability; Theoretical models of socioemotional competence and evaluation strategies in socioemotional competence in the educational field.
