Modelo estructural teórico-práctico para el trabajo de emociones en el ámbito educativo. Una mirada desde la Educación Física

The management of emotions has gained increasing relevance in contemporary education, where emotional development content is being integrated and prioritized across all educational stages. This paper aims to provide a theoretical-practical structural model designed to serve as a guide for educators interested in planning and structuring emotional work in any educational area. The proposal is grounded in a hermeneutic documentary review that synthesizes and adapts several established frameworks for emotional development. The emotional regulation model developed by James J. Gross and the guidelines of Emotion-Focused Therapy proposed by Leslie S. Greenberg are interwoven with the classical session model used in Physical Education, structured in three phases: warm-up, main part, and cool down, and with the Body Expression model developed by Ángel Pérez-Pueyo. Each of these approaches contributes essential elements that enrich the proposed structure, enabling educators to support the progressive and context-sensitive emotional development of their students in the classroom setting. As a result, a basic structural model is presented in the form of a “session sheet” or “simplified framework,” which includes detailed guidelines for implementing emotional work in educational practice. This model facilitates the integration of emotional regulation within the broader educational context enhancing emotional learning and contributing to students’ overall well-being.
