Abstract
The paper presents socio-emotional skills in more detail, both through theoretical
determination and through practical application in the form of action research with students in the
third and fourth grade of primary school. The main goal of the research is to see how emotionally
and socially literate students are, how much they know and how much they have developed
certain characteristics (more specifically teamwork and creativity). By applying activities that
were based on the previously mentioned characteristics, the emphasis was placed on encouraging
a warm and pleasant climate in the classroom. The research took place in three phases. The first
phase was followed by the design and preparation of both activities and actors. The second
phase involved the implementation of activities after each formative evaluation. The third phase
involved the final verification of the effects of activities on students, i.e. a summative evaluation,
where the opinions of the participants on the work method and the introduced novelties that
they had the opportunity to discover were examined. The obtained research results showed
positive effects, that the students adopted the necessary and desirable skills in a different and
more interesting way, as well as that they liked such applied work.
