ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SKILLS INTERVENTIONS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This integrative review sought to identify empirical articles on interventions in the educational field whose theoretical basis is Bronfenbrenner's bioecological matrix and the focus was on the development of academic and/or social interaction skills associated with children's learning. The search was carried out using the following descriptors: "psychosocial mathematics", "psychosocial", "psychoeducational", "mathematics", "reading", "writing", "learning", "social" and "social skills", associated with the terms “intervention”, “Bronfenbrenner” and “interaction” in Portuguese, Spanish and English. The review retrieved 59 articles between 1999 and 2020 on the Capes Journal Portal without database restrictions; there were search results in English and Spanish, with no returns in Portuguese. Most returns were in English. 11 articles were analyzed. It should be noted that 6 of them were focused on the period before entering school. It is noteworthy that 3 studies focused on socio-emotional development with an interactional approach. A limiting factor of the study is the low number of articles found, which suggests more research with interventions using Bronfenbrenner's bioecological matrix.
