Summary: | Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effects of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on students’ social-emotional skills, as perceived by teachers, families, and students themselves. Method Twelve teachers, 50 family members, and 28 students aged 8-9 from two public schools participated in the study. They responded to a semi-structured interview, and the content was analyzed using the MAXQDA software, version 18.2.0 (https://www.maxqda.com), which generated a map with categories and subcategories of analysis. The central axis of the study was Perception of Mindfulness-Based Interventions. Results Results indicated that, according to participants’ perceptions, this strategy brought about significant changes in behavior, particularly related to self-regulation, social-emotional skills, and promotion of well-being. Conclusion Thus, we recommend that education managers establish norms and conditions for implementing such interventions to benefit elementary school students.
