Abstract:
Active-participative methods in primary education are essential for promoting prosocial behaviors among young students. These methods, focused on student engagement and interaction, support an inclusive classroom environment and help develop empathy, cooperation, and conflict resolution skills. By incorporating techniques such as cooperative learning, role-playing, and peer teaching, educators can significantly enhance students' social and emotional learning (SEL) outcomes. This article explores the effectiveness of various active-participative strategies in developing prosocial behaviors in primary school students, focusing on best practices and evidence-based approaches.
In today's society, characterized by diversity and social challenges, developing prosocial behavior in young school-age students is of crucial importance. Students who learn to collaborate, empathize, and manage conflicts constructively not only perform better academically but also contribute to creating a more cohesive and inclusive society. Research shows that these early social skills are strong predictors of long-term success, both in personal and professional life. Therefore, education that prioritizes prosocial behavior supports the development of responsible citizens who can navigate the complexities of interpersonal relationships and contribute positively to the communities they are part of. Implementing these educational practices is essential to meet the emerging needs of a constantly changing society and to prepare students for future challenges.
