ABSTRACT
Student diversity in Ecuador demands pedagogical models that integrate socio-emotional skills
as fundamental elements of educational inclusion. This research analysed the strategies available
to address diversity by integrating emotional intelligence as a constituent component of
educational inclusion. A systematic review of 18 specialised references published between 2016
and 2025 was conducted, covering Latin American and international contexts. The results present
an integrative model structured around five interrelated components: development of basic socio-
emotional skills, specialised teacher training, curricular and methodological adaptation,
construction of an inclusive organisational climate, and continuous impact assessment.
International evidence confirms that the development of emotional skills contributes significantly
to student well-being and facilitates the appreciation of diversity. The Ecuadorian context,
characterised by its ethnic, linguistic and socioeconomic diversity, requires comprehensive
approaches that transform teacher training processes, institutional guidelines and intersectoral
coordination to ensure truly equitable educational trajectories.

INTRODUCTION
The current educational landscape is undergoing profound changes that require
the adoption of pedagogical models capable of addressing the growing diversity
of students. In Latin America, and specifically in Ecuador, this situation has its
own characteristics derived from the convergence of historical, social, and
cultural elements that shape a remarkably complex educational scenario. From
the perspective of García-Tudela and Marín-Sánchez (2021), a comprehensive
understanding of current educational needs involves recognising socio-emotional
skills as inherent dimensions of academic development.
Emotional intelligence is a determining factor in the creation of truly inclusive
educational spaces, especially when considering its capacity to promote
understanding and appreciation of human diversity. In this regard, Caballero-
García and Ruiz (2025) identify a significant correlation between the development
of emotional intelligence and subjective well-being in university students, which
underscores its relevance in building more satisfying and equitable educational
experiences. This dimension takes on particular importance when recognising
that student diversity transcends academic abilities, also manifesting itself in
cultural, socio-economic and emotional aspects that require differentiated
attention.
The Ecuadorian education system shows considerable heterogeneity that reflects
the country's multicultural richness, although at the same time it poses significant
challenges for implementing genuinely inclusive practices. Based on the
approaches of Rojas-Avilés et al. (2020), perceptions of inclusive education in
Ecuador show both notable progress and areas for improvement that require
intervention at the systemic level. This situation highlights the urgency of
designing integrative strategies that consider both the cognitive and socio-
emotional dimensions of the educational process.

The convergence between emotional intelligence and educational inclusion is an
emerging area of inquiry that offers encouraging possibilities for the development
of more effective pedagogical models. Following the arguments of Campoverde-
Zúñiga et al. (2023), the early development of emotional skills lays the foundation
for establishing healthy interpersonal relationships and cultivating favourable
attitudes towards diversity. This approach is particularly relevant in educational
contexts where the coexistence of students from different backgrounds and
characteristics requires specific tools to facilitate mutual respect and effective
collaboration.
This research aims to examine the strategies available to address diversity in
Ecuador by integrating emotional intelligence as a constituent element of
educational inclusion. Consequently, the main objective is to analyse the
theoretical and practical contributions that link the development of socio-
emotional skills with the promotion of inclusive educational environments
contextualised to the Ecuadorian reality.
Theoretical framework
Fundamentals of emotional intelligence in the educational context
The conceptualisation of emotional intelligence has undergone a remarkable
evolution since its earliest theoretical formulations, establishing itself as an
indispensable construct for understanding integral human development. In the
field of education, this perspective takes on particular relevance in recognising
that learning processes involve both cognitive and affective dimensions that
interact in complex ways. According to Casino-García et al. (2019), emotional
intelligence has a significant relationship with students' subjective emotional well-
being and mood, which underlines its importance in creating healthy and
productive learning environments.
The development of emotional competencies in the educational environment
requires systematic approaches that consider the specific characteristics of each

stage of development. In this regard, Fernández-Martínez and Montero-García
(2016) argue that emotional intelligence education from early childhood is a
fundamental investment in the comprehensive development of individuals, given
that the skills acquired in these early stages become a solid foundation for
subsequent personal and social growth. This evolutionary perspective is essential
for the design of coherent and progressive educational interventions.
Contemporary research has identified multiple benefits associated with the
development of emotional intelligence in educational contexts. Based on the
contributions of Crisóstomo-Munayco (2021), recent scientific literature shows
that students who develop strong emotional skills demonstrate better academic
results, greater social adaptability, and lower levels of stress and anxiety. These
results support the importance of integrating emotional education as a regular
component of the educational curriculum, rather than considering it a
complementary or marginal activity.
Teacher training in emotional intelligence is another fundamental aspect for the
successful implementation of inclusive educational programmes. Following the
approaches of Dolev and Leshem (2017), the effective design of emotional
intelligence training programmes for teachers must consider elements such as
self-reflection, the development of empathic communication skills, and an
understanding of the various forms of emotional expression. These components
are particularly relevant in diverse contexts, where educators must develop
cultural sensitivity and the ability to adapt to different student needs.
Contextual factors influencing the development of emotional intelligence
Environmental and contextual factors have a decisive influence on the
development of emotional skills, particularly in the school environment where
students spend a significant proportion of their formative years. According to
Erasmus et al. (2022), various classroom factors contribute to the development
of emotional intelligence in primary school students, including the emotional

climate of the classroom, the teaching strategies employed by teachers, and
opportunities for social interaction among peers. This systemic perspective is
fundamental to understanding how educational environments can be optimised
to promote emotional growth.
Playful strategies are a particularly effective way of developing emotional skills,
especially in young people. As García-Santana and Navarrete-Pita (2022)
demonstrate, the implementation of playful strategies for the development of
emotional intelligence in secondary school students generates positive results in
terms of both student engagement and the acquisition of specific skills. This
methodological approach is especially valuable in diverse contexts, where playful
activities can serve as universal means of communication and learning that
transcend cultural and linguistic barriers.
The sustainability of emotional development programmes requires consideration
of the generational characteristics of contemporary students. As Ghita-Pirnuta
and Cismaru (2022) argue, the development of emotional intelligence in millennial
students requires teaching strategies that recognise their technological
preferences, communication patterns, and specific values. This generational
consideration is crucial to ensuring the relevance and effectiveness of
educational interventions in emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence as a tool for educational inclusion
The connection between emotional intelligence and educational inclusion is
based on the ability of social-emotional skills to facilitate understanding,
acceptance, and appreciation of human diversity. Training programmes that
integrate the development of emotional intelligence have demonstrated positive
effects on variables such as resilience and adaptability, which are essential for
functioning in diverse environments. According to Jiménez-Rodríguez et al.
(2022), the implementation of soft skills programmes focused on emotional
intelligence produces significant improvements in the resilience of university

nursing students, suggesting their potential to strengthen individuals' ability to
function successfully in complex and challenging contexts.
Interpersonal dynamics in the classroom are a fundamental aspect where
emotional intelligence can contribute significantly to educational inclusion.
According to Li and Zhang (2024), there is a close relationship between teacher-
student dynamics, enjoyment of learning, and student burnout, where emotional
intelligence operates as a moderating factor. This relational perspective is
particularly relevant in diverse contexts, where individual differences can
generate tensions or misunderstandings that require sophisticated emotional
management on the part of all educational actors.
The effectiveness of learning strategies aimed at developing emotional
intelligence has been documented in various professional contexts. Following the
evidence provided by Napolitano et al. (2023), learning strategies designed
specifically for the development of emotional intelligence in university nursing
students demonstrate systematic effectiveness, suggesting their potential for
transfer to other educational contexts. This evidence supports the feasibility of
implementing structured emotional development programmes as regular
components of formal education.
Educational inclusion in the Latin American and Ecuadorian context
Educational inclusion in Latin America is characterised by complex historical
trajectories that reflect tensions between aspirations for equity and realities of
social segmentation. As Valdivieso et al. (2022) argue, inclusive education in
Latin America has followed trajectories characterised by segmentation, where
different population groups have had access to educational opportunities of
varying quality. This historical reality creates specific challenges for the
implementation of truly inclusive practices that require explicit recognition of
existing structural inequalities.

In the specific context of Ecuador, perceptions of inclusive education reveal both
significant advances and limitations. According to Rojas-Avilés et al. (2020),
perceptions of inclusive education in Ecuador show generally positive attitudes,
but also reveal the persistence of systematic barriers that limit the effective
implementation of inclusive practices. This situation calls for comprehensive
approaches that address both attitudinal aspects and structural conditions that
facilitate or hinder inclusion.
The implications of educating for inclusivity in higher education settings require
particular consideration due to the specific characteristics of this level of
education. As Robles and Granja (2022) argue, educating for inclusivity in higher
education implies profound transformations in pedagogical conceptions,
assessment methods, and organisational structures. These transformations are
particularly complex in contexts where students with very diverse educational
backgrounds coexist and where expectations of academic achievement may
conflict with principles of equity and inclusion.
Integrative strategies for addressing diversity
An inclusive culture is a fundamental element for effectively addressing diversity
in educational contexts. Following the approaches of Jiménez-Carrillo and Mesa
Villavicencio (2020), building an inclusive culture requires profound
transformations in conceptions of difference, learning, and assessment. This
cultural perspective is particularly relevant in contexts such as Ecuador, where
ethnic, linguistic, and socioeconomic diversity demands sensitive and adaptive
pedagogical approaches.
Socio-educational inclusion in Ecuadorian higher education institutions has
specific characteristics that reflect the complexities of the national education
system. As documented by Lemus et al. (2023), socio-educational inclusion and
attention to diversity in Ecuadorian higher education institutions face challenges
related to teacher preparation, resource availability, and institutional conceptions

of diversity. These findings suggest the need for systemic approaches that
address multiple dimensions of the educational process.
The basic skills and values necessary for the creation of inclusive educational
environments have been identified as key elements for the success of diversity
initiatives. According to Mejía-Caguana et al. (2023), inclusive care strategies
require the development of specific competencies and the internalisation of
values that promote respect, collaboration, and appreciation of individual
differences. This competency-based perspective is fundamental to the design of
teacher training programmes and the evaluation of the effectiveness of inclusive
interventions.
Attention to diversity in basic and early childhood education
Attention to diversity in basic education is a priority area due to the importance of
early experiences in the development of attitudes and skills related to inclusion.
According to Palaguaray et al. (2023), educational inclusion and attention to
diversity in basic education in Ecuador require methodological approaches that
recognise different ways of learning and provide multiple pathways to knowledge.
This methodological perspective is particularly relevant when considering the
potential of emotional intelligence to facilitate differentiated learning processes.
The training of early childhood teachers is another determining factor for the
successful implementation of inclusive practices. According to the evidence
provided by Vintimilla et al. (2024), attention to diversity in the training of early
childhood teachers requires training programmes that integrate both theoretical
knowledge about diversity and practical skills for managing heterogeneous
classrooms. This comprehensive training is especially important when
considering that experiences of inclusion in the early years of schooling can
significantly influence students' future attitudes towards diversity.

METHOD
The research adopted a systematic literature review design to examine the
strategies available for addressing diversity in Ecuador by integrating emotional
intelligence as a fundamental component of educational inclusion. The
systematic review was selected as the method due to its ability to provide a
rigorous and reproducible synthesis of the available knowledge on a specific
topic, allowing for the identification of patterns, trends, and gaps in the existing
literature.
The methodological approach was based on documentary research principles
that prioritise the systematisation and critical analysis of primary and secondary
sources relevant to the topic under study. This approach is particularly
appropriate for research that seeks to integrate knowledge scattered across
different disciplinary areas, such as the intersection between emotional
intelligence, educational inclusion and diversity in specific contexts.
Population and sample
The study population consisted of the set of specialised bibliographic references
provided for this research, which represent relevant scientific contributions in the
areas of emotional intelligence, educational inclusion and attention to diversity.
The final sample included a total of 18 references that met the inclusion criteria
established for the study.
The inclusion criteria applied were as follows: academic publications in indexed
scientific journals; studies addressing topics related to emotional intelligence,
educational inclusion or attention to diversity; research published between 2016
and 2025; studies including student or teacher populations; and research with
clearly defined methodologies and systematically reported results.

The analysis process was structured in four consecutive phases that allowed for
a progressive and systematic approach to the selected bibliographic material.
The first phase consisted of an exploratory reading of all the references included,
with the aim of familiarising ourselves with the general content and identifying
recurring themes. During this phase, preliminary observations were recorded on
methodological approaches, populations studied, and main results reported.
The second phase involved a detailed thematic analysis through which emerging
conceptual categories were identified, allowing the available knowledge to be
organised in a coherent manner. This thematic analysis was carried out using
inductive coding, where the themes emerged from the content of the references
themselves rather than from predefined categories. The categories identified
included: theoretical foundations of emotional intelligence, emotional
development strategies, educational inclusion in specific contexts, teacher
training, and contextual factors.
The third phase focused on the critical synthesis of the results identified in each
thematic category, seeking to identify convergences, divergences, and
complementarities between different studies. During this phase, particular
attention was paid to identifying elements that could contribute to the design of
integrative strategies for the Ecuadorian context.
The fourth phase consisted of developing an integrative proposal based on the
synthesis carried out in the previous phases. This proposal was structured
considering both the theoretical foundations identified and the specific
characteristics of the Ecuadorian educational context documented in the
references analysed.
Quality and rigour criteria
Firstly, an analysis protocol was established that specified the procedures to be
followed in each phase of the study, ensuring consistency in the treatment of all
references included. Secondly, the thematic coding process was systematically

documented, recording methodological decisions and criteria applied for the
categorisation of content.
Ethical considerations
Although this research was based on the analysis of publicly available
bibliographic sources, ethical principles related to the appropriate use of
intellectual property were applied. All references used were cited appropriately
following the APA seventh edition standards, and any form of plagiarism or
misuse of others' ideas was avoided. Likewise, an effort was made to remain
faithful to the original ideas of the authors analysed, avoiding distortions or
interpretations that could misrepresent their contributions.
Methodological limitations
This research has certain limitations that must be considered when interpreting
its results. First, although the sample of references analysed is specialised and
relevant, it represents a specific selection that may not capture all of the literature
available on the subject. Secondly, the systematic review approach, although
scientific, depends on the quality and completeness of the information reported
in the primary sources analysed.
Thirdly, the synthesis is based on studies with different methodological designs,
populations and contexts, which may limit the direct comparability of results.
Fourthly, although the proposal developed is based on the available evidence, it
requires empirical validation through implementation and evaluation in real
contexts to determine its practical effectiveness.
These limitations were taken into account in the development of the proposal,
ensuring that the recommendations made are both conceptually and practically
viable, recognising the need for contextual adaptation and subsequent empirical
validation.

Integrative proposal: model of strategies for diversity in Ecuador based on
emotional intelligence and educational inclusion
Based on a systematic analysis of the specialised literature, an integrative model
is presented that articulates specific strategies for addressing diversity in the
Ecuadorian educational context through the implementation of programmes
focused on emotional intelligence as a fundamental tool for educational inclusion.
This model is structured around five interrelated components that address
different dimensions of the inclusive educational process.
Component for the development of basic socio-emotional skills
The first component of the model focuses on the systematic development of
fundamental socio-emotional skills that form the basis for building inclusive
educational environments. This component includes the design of curricular
programmes that integrate the development of skills such as emotional
recognition, self-regulation, empathy and basic social skills.
The implementation of this component requires the structuring of differentiated
pedagogical activities according to educational levels, recognising that emotional
competencies develop progressively throughout the life cycle. For early childhood
and primary education, the use of playful strategies is proposed to facilitate
emotional recognition and expression through activities such as dramatisations,
role-playing, and artistic practices that allow for the safe exploration of different
emotional states.
At the secondary and higher education levels, the component incorporates more
sophisticated methodologies that include self-awareness workshops, culturally
adapted mindfulness techniques, and collaborative projects that require the
application of emotional skills in real-life contexts. The curricular progression
ensures that students gradually develop more complex competencies that enable
them to function successfully in diverse environments.

Specialised teacher training component
The second component recognises that the effectiveness of any educational
inclusion programme depends fundamentally on the preparation and skills of
educators. This component proposes the development of comprehensive teacher
training programmes that combine theoretical knowledge about emotional
intelligence and diversity with practical skills for implementation in heterogeneous
classrooms.
The proposed teacher training includes specific modules on identifying and
valuing student diversity, empathic communication techniques, intercultural
conflict management strategies, and inclusive assessment methods that
recognise different ways of demonstrating skills. The programmes incorporate
experiential components that allow teachers to directly experience the
methodologies they will later implement with their students.
Complementarily, this component includes the creation of teaching communities
of practice where educators can share experiences, collaboratively resolve
questions, and receive ongoing support in the implementation of inclusive
practices. These communities function as spaces for lifelong learning that
contribute to the sustainability of educational inclusion initiatives.
Curriculum and methodological adaptation component
The third component addresses the need to adapt both curriculum content and
teaching methodologies to respond effectively to student diversity. This
component proposes the implementation of universal design approaches to
learning that provide multiple pathways to knowledge and multiple ways of
demonstrating acquired competencies.
Curricular adaptations include the incorporation of content that reflects the
cultural diversity of the Ecuadorian context, the use of case studies that represent
different population groups, and the integration of multiple perspectives in the

approach to academic topics. These adaptations seek to ensure that all students
can identify with the educational content and recognise the relevance of their
learning.
Methodological adaptations include diversifying teaching strategies to
accommodate different learning styles, using educational technologies that
facilitate the personalisation of learning, and implementing flexible assessment
systems that recognise different ways of demonstrating competencies. This
multiple methodological approach ensures that individual differences are valued
as resources rather than obstacles to learning.
Inclusive organisational climate component
The fourth component recognises that educational inclusion transcends specific
pedagogical practices and requires the construction of organisational cultures
that actively promote the valuing of diversity. This component proposes strategies
for the development of institutional climates that facilitate the equitable
participation of all members of the educational community.
Organisational strategies include the development of explicit institutional policies
on diversity and inclusion, the creation of physical spaces that accommodate
different needs and preferences, and the implementation of communication
systems that facilitate the participation of families and communities with different
sociocultural characteristics. These structural elements provide the institutional
framework necessary for the development of sustainable inclusive practices.
The component also includes the implementation of awareness-raising
programmes for the entire educational community, including administrative and
service staff and families. These programmes seek to develop understanding and
appreciation of diversity at all institutional levels, creating support networks that
strengthen inclusion initiatives developed in specific educational spaces.
Evaluation and continuous improvement component

The fifth component establishes systematic mechanisms for the monitoring,
evaluation and continuous improvement of the strategies implemented. This
component recognises that educational inclusion is a dynamic process that
requires constant adaptation in response to the changing needs of the
educational community and the lessons learned from practical experience.
Evaluation mechanisms include systems for collecting quantitative and qualitative
information on the effectiveness of the strategies implemented, involving the
perspectives of students, teachers, families, and other members of the
educational community. This information is used to identify strengths, areas of
opportunity, and needs for adjustment in the implementation of the model.
The continuous improvement component includes structured processes of
collective reflection on the results obtained, collaborative identification of
improvement strategies, and systematic implementation of adjustments based on
the evidence collected. This approach to continuous improvement ensures that
the model remains relevant and effective over time, adapting to changing
conditions in the educational context.
Specific implementation strategies
Strategies for early childhood and primary education
For the early levels of the education system, specific strategies are proposed that
recognise the developmental characteristics of this population and its particular
receptivity to the development of social-emotional competencies. The strategies
include the implementation of daily emotional routines that allow students to
identify and express their emotional states, facilitating the gradual development
of emotional vocabulary and self-regulation skills.
Emotional education activities are integrated across all curricular areas, using
stories, songs, games, and artistic activities that allow for the natural exploration
of emotions and social relationships. The creation of safe spaces where children

can express their individual differences without fear of judgement is proposed,
promoting positive attitudes towards diversity from an early age.
Implementation includes the formation of dialogue circles where students share
personal experiences related to their cultural origins, family traditions, and
individual characteristics. These spaces for exchange facilitate mutual
recognition and the building of relationships based on respect and positive
curiosity about differences.
Strategies for secondary education
In secondary education, strategies are adapted to the psychosocial
characteristics of adolescence, a period characterised by the search for identity
and the importance of group acceptance. The implementation of peer mentoring
programmes is proposed, where students from different backgrounds collaborate
on academic and social projects, developing collaborative leadership skills and
an appreciation of diversity.
The programmes include specialised workshops on emotional intelligence that
address specific topics such as managing academic stress, resolving
interpersonal conflicts, and developing assertive communication skills. These
workshops are designed with the cultural diversity of the participants in mind,
incorporating methodologies that reflect different traditions and perspectives.
The implementation of community service projects that connect students with
diverse social realities is also proposed, promoting the development of empathy
and social commitment. These projects function as experiential laboratories
where students apply emotional skills in real contexts, strengthening their ability
to respond to social diversity.
Strategies for higher education
For higher education, the strategies recognise students' greater autonomy and
their ability to engage in more complex critical reflection processes. The

implementation of professional development programmes that integrate technical
competencies with social-emotional skills is proposed, preparing future
professionals to perform effectively in diverse work environments.
The strategies include the creation of spaces for intercultural dialogue where
students from different majors and backgrounds share perspectives on relevant
academic and social issues. These spaces facilitate the development of
intercultural communication and critical thinking skills, which are essential for
professional practice in diverse societies.
The implementation of collaborative research programmes is also proposed,
where multidisciplinary teams address complex social issues, applying
methodologies that value different forms of knowledge and methodological
approaches. These programmes contribute to both the academic development
and social commitment of students.
Mechanisms for intersectoral coordination
Coordination with public policies
The successful implementation of the proposed model requires strategic
coordination with public education policies at the national and local levels. The
development of partnerships with government institutions responsible for
education is proposed to ensure that inclusion strategies are aligned with existing
regulatory frameworks and contribute to the fulfilment of public policy objectives.
This coordination includes participation in forums for dialogue on educational
policy, where evidence can be provided on the effectiveness of approaches
based on emotional intelligence for promoting inclusion. This participation
contributes both to the legitimisation of the proposed strategies and to influencing
the development of policies that are more sensitive to diversity.

The model recognises the importance of establishing links with civil society
organisations working on issues related to diversity, human rights and social
development. These alliances provide additional resources for the
implementation of strategies and facilitate the connection between educational
processes and broader social realities.
These links include the participation of representatives from social organisations
in educational activities, the development of joint projects that benefit both
educational institutions and communities, and the exchange of experiences and
lessons learned between different social sectors.
Collaboration with families and communities
Effective educational inclusion requires the active participation of families and
communities in educational processes. The development of training programmes
for families is proposed to enable them to support their children's socio-emotional
development and understand the importance of diversity in the educational
process.
The programmes include workshops on effective family communication,
strategies to support children's emotional development, and spaces for exchange
between families from different backgrounds to facilitate the construction of
mutual support networks. This family participation strengthens the consistency
between the values promoted at home and at school, enhancing the impact of
the strategies implemented.
Resources needed for implementation
Human resources
The implementation of the model requires the availability of specialised human
resources, including educational psychologists trained in emotional intelligence,
social workers with experience in cultural diversity, and teachers specialised in

inclusive education. These professionals act as facilitators of change processes
and as support resources for regular teachers.
The formation of interdisciplinary teams that include representatives from
different areas of knowledge is also proposed, allowing for comprehensive
approaches to issues related to diversity and inclusion. These teams provide
multiple perspectives that enrich the strategies implemented and facilitate
adaptation to different institutional contexts.
Material and technological resources
Implementation requires material resources, including specialised teaching
materials for emotional education, physical spaces adapted for group and
individual activities, and educational technologies that facilitate the
personalisation of learning. These resources must be culturally appropriate and
accessible to students with different needs and characteristics.
The use of technological platforms is proposed to facilitate communication
between different members of the educational community, access to digital
educational resources, and the documentation of processes and results. These
technologies should be selected considering institutional capacities and the
characteristics of the populations served.
Financial resources
The sustainability of the model requires the identification of funding sources that
include public, private, and international cooperation resources. The
development of funding proposals that demonstrate both the viability and
potential impact of the proposed strategies is proposed, facilitating the obtaining
of the necessary resources for implementation.
Financial resources should cover both initial implementation costs and long-term
operating and maintenance expenses. Financial planning should consider the

possibility of gradual implementation, allowing for adjustments based on
experience and resource availability.
DISCUSSION
The results obtained in this research show significant convergence with trends
identified in the international literature on emotional intelligence and educational
inclusion. The relationship identified between the development of socio-emotional
skills and the creation of inclusive educational environments coincides with
evidence reported in diverse educational contexts, suggesting the universality of
certain fundamental principles in this field.
Particularly relevant is the convergence with the evidence provided by Caballero-
García and Ruiz (2025) regarding the relationship between emotional intelligence
and subjective well-being in university students. This convergence supports the
hypothesis that the development of emotional skills contributes not only to
academic performance but also to students' overall satisfaction and adaptation,
which are particularly important in diverse contexts where students may face
additional challenges of social and academic integration.
The importance identified for specialised teacher training is echoed in the
approaches of Dolev and Leshem (2017) on the elements necessary for the
effective design of emotional intelligence training programmes for educators. This
convergence suggests that, regardless of the specific context, teacher training is
a determining factor in the success of educational inclusion initiatives based on
emotional intelligence.
Despite the convergences identified, the analysis revealed specific features of
the Ecuadorian context that require special consideration in the design of
educational inclusion strategies. The ethnic and linguistic diversity characteristic
of the country, documented in the references analysed, demands approaches
that explicitly recognise the different cultural traditions and knowledge systems
present in the student population.

The evidence provided by Rojas-Avilés et al. (2020) on perceptions of inclusive
education in Ecuador reveals both positive attitudes and systematic barriers that
reflect tensions between aspirations for equity and institutional realities. This
situation suggests that the proposed strategies should address not only technical
aspects related to pedagogical methodologies, but also cultural and structural
dimensions that can facilitate or hinder the implementation of inclusive practices.
The educational segmentation documented by Valdivieso et al. (2022) in the Latin
American context has specific implications for Ecuador, where socioeconomic
differences can interact with ethnic and cultural diversity, creating complex
patterns of exclusion and inclusion. This reality demands strategies that
simultaneously address multiple dimensions of diversity rather than one-
dimensional approaches that may inadvertently reproduce forms of exclusion.
The analysis identified promising methodological innovations emerging from the
intersection between emotional intelligence and educational inclusion.
Particularly relevant are the playful strategies documented by García-Santana
and Navarrete-Pita (2022), which demonstrate effectiveness in the development
of emotional competencies in adolescent populations. These strategies offer
methodological alternatives that may be particularly appropriate for contexts
characterised by cultural diversity, where playful activities can function as
universal languages that facilitate intercultural communication.
The collaborative learning methodologies identified in several studies analysed
show particular potential for diverse contexts, where interaction between students
with different characteristics can become a source of mutual learning rather than
a source of tension. The evidence reviewed suggests that when these
methodologies are implemented appropriately, they can contribute to both the
academic development and socio-emotional growth of participants.
The integration of educational technologies also emerges as a promising
methodological innovation, particularly when considering the generational

characteristics of contemporary students. Evidence provided by Ghita-Pirnuta
and Cismaru (2022) on the development of emotional intelligence in millennial
students suggests that technologically mediated strategies can increase student
engagement and facilitate the personalisation of emotional learning processes.
The results obtained have significant implications for the design of both initial and
continuing teacher training programmes. The evidence analysed suggests that
traditional teacher training may be insufficient to respond effectively to the
demands of inclusion in diverse contexts, which requires substantial
transformations in training approaches.
The research by Erasmus et al. (2022) on classroom factors that contribute to the
development of emotional intelligence provides specific elements that should be
incorporated into teacher training programmes. These elements include skills for
creating positive emotional climates, competencies for facilitating constructive
social interactions among diverse students, and abilities to adapt pedagogical
strategies to different emotional and cultural needs.
Teacher training should also address personal dimensions related to educators'
own emotional competencies. Evidence suggests that teachers with developed
emotional competencies are better prepared to facilitate the development of
these competencies in their students, which implies that training programmes
should include components of self-awareness and personal development.
The systemic implementation of the proposed strategies faces significant
challenges that arise from both the characteristics of the education system and
broader social conditions. Evidence provided by Mejía-Caguana et al. (2023) on
the competencies and values necessary for inclusive educational environments
suggests that successful implementation requires transformations that transcend
specific pedagogical practices and encompass entire institutional cultures.

CONCLUSION
The research achieved its purpose by examining and systematising the
theoretical and applied contributions that establish links between the
development of emotional intelligence and the promotion of inclusive educational
spaces within the Ecuadorian reality, demonstrating that training in socio-
emotional skills is a substantial element in building learning environments that
authentically recognise and value student diversity.
Through the analysis of specialised sources, it was possible to verify that,
although certain fundamentals remain valid in various international scenarios,
Ecuador exhibits unique characteristics originating in its ethnic, linguistic and
social stratum diversity, circumstances that require the construction of strategies
tailored to these local realities.
The proposed integrative model, structured around five interrelated dimensions,
seeks to consolidate fundamental socio-emotional skills, provide specialised
training for teaching staff, make curricula and methodologies more flexible, build
welcoming institutional environments, and implement ongoing assessment
systems. It addresses these specific territorial characteristics while being based
on accurate and proven scientific principles.
It is important to note that appropriate attention to the heterogeneity of
Ecuadorian students requires comprehensive approaches that go beyond
fragmented pedagogical interventions, demanding profound transformations in
teacher training processes, institutional guidelines, and coordination between
different social sectors, where emotional capacities function as instruments that
enable mutual recognition, genuine appreciation of individual differences, and the
construction of equitable educational trajectories that effectively contribute to the
academic and personal well-being of all learners.
