This study aims to develop an emotional education program suitable for junior primary school children and assess its effectiveness on the emotional competence of such children using a quasi-experimental research design. The emotional education program was developed using the ADDIE model and reviewed by experts in the field. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, junior primary school children were invited to participate in a classroom setting. The emotional education program developed in this study was implemented for the experimental group, and the control group followed a character story curriculum using picture books. The researcher invited the parents of the participating children (41 children in the experimental group, including 15 boys and 26 girls; 31 children in the control group, including 14 boys and 17 girls) to complete the“Emotional Competence Rating Scale for 3–6-year-olds (Parent Version)”by Kuo and Chien (2006) before and after the intervention to assess changes in children’s emotional competence. The study yielded the following results: First, a comprehensive emotional education program suitable for junior primary school children was developed, encompassing the four components of emotional competence:“awareness and recognition,”“comprehension,”“expression,”and“regulation.”Each component consisted of three unit activities, and so along with a meet-and-greet activity and a curriculum review, there were 14 units in total. The program received high praise from the junior primary school teachers. Second, the experimental group children showed significant differences at the pre- and post-test stages in terms of both total scores and the scores for each of the four components of“emotional competence,”whereas the control group showed no significant differences in their scores. Third, the study also found that the emotional education program had a more pronounced effect on boys. On the basis of the research results, we propose relevant recommendations for practical application within education and use them as a reference for future research. |
