Abstract
Education for good coexistence sustained in social skills in school life is a great challenge for the educational community. If daily habits are formed in students that lead to the promotion of social skills, it will become a good management practice for good coexistence, adequate mental health, and effective social integration. The objective of the study is to develop an educational program to strengthen school coexistence and social skills in elementary school students in a public school in Lima, Peru. It is a quantitative, applied research with a pre-experimental design. The sample was non-probabilistic and consisted of 40 students. The instruments used for data collection were the School Coexistence Observation Guide and the Social Skills Observation Guide, which were validated and have a high degree of reliability. The results showed that the Educational Program for the Strengthening of School Coexistence and Social Skills has been effective after obtaining pretest and posttest results with significant differences in eight dimensions: Perception of coexistence, school conflict, Basic Social Skills, Advanced Social Skills, Social Skills related to feelings, Social Skills for Aggression Alternatives, Social Skills for Coping with Stress and Social Skills for Planning.
