Abstract

This paper takes a deep dive into the epistemological foundations supporting the inclusion of Emotional Intelligence Education (EIE) in the Latin American curriculum, spanning from preschool through secondary education. Through a thorough theoretical and analytical documentary review, it makes the case that emotional education should be woven into the fabric of school curricula as a key element to foster human development, democratic coexistence, and educational equity. The study brings together various models—constructivist, sociocultural, humanistic, and complex thought—and offers strategies for adapting the curriculum at different educational levels, while also reflecting on the pedagogical implications within the Colombian context.
