Effect of the development of precursor skills for literacy in Spanish on learning to read in English
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of Spanish literacy precursor skills on reading learning to read in the mother tongue and their degree of transfer to English. A quasi-experimental design was used, which allowed for a repeated measures comparison between two groups of students, who underwent a follow-up assessment one year after the end of the intervention. A total of 386 schoolchildren, aged 6–7 years at the time of the inter…

It uses a sample of 196 final-year teaching students at a university in Spain (80.1% women, M years = 22.96). The results of the struc…

Emotional intelligence training intervention among trainee teachers: A Quasi-Experimental Study
BACKGROUND: Emotional intelligence (EI) has often been linked to improvements in professional performance. Indeed, generic competencies related to EI have been included in university curricula. However, learning EI involves significant time and effort on the part of students, and this may hinder the acquisition of specific content for each degree. In this study, an intervention to develop EI in higher education students is described and evaluated…
