Experiencia educativa en España desarrollando la cognición instruccional positiva

Abstract

This communication presents the implementation of a program based on Positive Instructional Cognition (PIC), theoretical-practical formulation based on the psychological models of worldacknowledged authors such as Viktor Frankl (meaning of lifes existential orientation) and Martin Seligman (Positive Psychology), also in the comprehensive human education. The PIC model develops the three-dimensional competence in this comprehensive education (‘learning to know’, ‘learning to do’ and ‘learning to be’) operativizing it in five different levels: Analysis of the problem, Emotional expression and emotion recognition, Self-knowledge, Reflection and Well-being. Firstly, we present the objectives of the PIC program: developing personal skills, improving the gratitude, the forgiveness and the character strengths, increasing well-being or happiness; show his development as evolutionary variables of subjects, and observe the interrelationships between the variables studied. And secondly, we explain the implementation of this program and the results of changes in the strengths and the other two dimensions that we have assessed (gratitude and capacity of forgiveness). And we finish with the conclusions and possible future perspectives of the program.
