Resumen

A research line that has generated a lot of interest in the last years, within the field of Emotional Intelligence (EI), is the analysis of the role that emotions play in the educational context, and, moreover, to deepen in the influence that the emotional intelligence variable has to determining both the academic success of the students and their scholastic adaptation. In the last years, a wide corpus of studies have been carried out to analyze the existing relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance. Nevertheless, results are inconsistent due to the lack of consensus not only at the definition but in the so diverse methodology that these studies present. In our work, we analyze the relationship between EI and the academic performance as well as the objectives and benefits of the implementation of programs of emotional alphabetization at educational centres.
