The Emotional and Social Skills of Students in Engineering
Journal Title: Acta Marisiensis. Seria Technologica - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents some results of the project entitled “Improve your emotional skills” (IYES), promoted in the framework of Erasmus+ program in a partnership of organizations from 6 European countries. The project concept started from the very poor academic student's performancein engineering and one of the main objectives of the I-YES project is to reduce school failure by increasing student's academic performance. In order to achieve the I-Yes project objective, this paper sought to identify their main emotional and social skill needs and deficits. The research employed both quantitative and qualitative instruments, namely questionnaires and focus-groups. The research suggests that the following variables are most critical in this respect: self-management skills, school interest, self-awareness and well-being at school.
