Review of early intervention programs for the cultivation of social and emotional skills in preschool
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present a literature review of intervention programs which have been structured in Greece or have been translated in Greek and pertain to the teaching of social and emotional skills to preschool students. The short-term aim of these programs is to promote students’ social and emotional skills, while the long term aim is to improve their adaptability and their academic achievement. The aggregation of intervention programs, in this paper, is useful and necessary for teachers who are interested to make an implementation of any or some of these programs in their classroom, as well as researchers who study the social and emotional development of preschool children. The process of tracking down and presenting the programs also pertains to their main effectiveness testing criteria: the training of teachers on the implementation of a program in the classroom, the availability of the program’s material, the involvement of parents in the program and the evaluation of the program (where this was available).
