EmoSocioGraph: A Knowledge Graph that tracks the development of social and emotional competencies of K12 students

The application of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) activities in classrooms is associated with a positive impact on students. Specifically, the development of social and emotional competencies of students leads to improvements in school performance, social relationships, well-being, and mental health. Various SEL methodologies have been designed to support the development of such competencies but do not focus too much on the assessment part. In our work on this manuscript, we detail the development of a Knowledge Graph, called EmoSocioGraph, that supports the application of a SEL methodology and helps teachers to gain insights and adjust accordingly the SEL activities in the classroom to achieve better results. EmoSocioGraph is well aligned with the open-access Emotional Intelligence model, called EmoSocio, that represents the social and emotional competencies of students at the individual and group levels. It is also aligned with a systemic SEL methodology for the development of such competencies that takes advantage of open-source software tools. The main entities and relationships of EmoSocioGraph are detailed, while indicative usage and analysis scenarios are provided based on data produced by applying the systemic SEL methodology in K12 schools in Greece and Spain.
