ObjectiveThis study evaluated the effects of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on students’ socialemotional skills, as perceived by teachers, families, and students themselves. MethodTwelve 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. ResultsResults 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.
