pedagogical support, education, integrated approach, empathy, emotional developmentAbstract
Introduction: The study aimed to examine the impact of psychological and pedagogical
support on the development of social and emotional skills in preschool and primary school
children, focusing on key aspects and future research prospects.
Methods: A quantitative approach was employed, including content analysis of existing
literature and thematic analysis to identify core topics and principles of psychological and
pedagogical support. This integrated methodology ensured validity and comprehensiveness.
Results: The findings revealed that socio-emotional skills encompass a wide range of abilities,
including emotional awareness, self-regulation, empathy, effective communication, conflict
resolution, and group cooperation. Psychological and pedagogical support was found to
positively influence these skills, with individualised approaches enhancing social interaction
and psychosocial well-being. The study also highlighted methodological innovations,
incorporating contemporary trends in psychological and educational sciences.
Conclusions: The research confirmed the significant role of psychological and pedagogical
support in fostering socio-emotional development in children. Individualised pedagogical
strategies and tailored psychological interventions contributed to improved social skills and
emotional resilience. These findings underscore the need for further research to refine and
expand evidence-based approaches to support children's socio-emotional growth.
