Resumen

Las instituciones educativas tienen la misión de brindar una educación de calidad y favorecer el desarrollo integral de los niños, por lo que también son responsables de su bienestar emocional. Este trabajo presenta una revisión sistemática cuyo propósito fue identificar las principales líneas de estudio sobre el manejo escolar de problemas emocionales en estudiantes de primaria, a nivel global durante la última década (2014-2024). El trabajo se fundamentó en la metodología PRISMA, se recopilaron 419 artículos de las bases de datos de ERIC, Education Source, Web of Science y Redalyc. Con base en los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron para su análisis 23 artículos. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que la mayoría de los artículos se orientan hacia dos líneas fundamentales; la primera relacionada con las estrategias que emplean los docentes para el manejo de problemas emocionales y la segunda referida a los desafíos que afrontan en este proceso. Se observó que se ha investigado en menor medida el resultado de intervenciones con maestros y estudiantes. Se concluye que es necesario continuar profundizando en el estudio de esta temática desde una perspectiva educativa.
