The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale for measuring the different areas
of competence of the social and emotional learning model in students in compulsory secondary
education. For this purpose, following the recommendations and quality standards established by the
specialised literature, the Social and Emotional Learning Scale was constructed and administered to a
convenience sample of 1385 students in compulsory secondary education. The results reveal adequate
reliability of the instrument and fairly satisfactory fit indices for the structural model proposed. In
addition, external evidence is provided for the validity of the instrument with the variables life
satisfaction and school performance. The Social and Emotional Learning Scale is of satisfactory metric
quality and provides a detailed and consolidated picture of adolescents’ level of self-awareness,
social awareness, self-control, interpersonal skills and responsible decision making, which provides
students with an instrument that can help to understand their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills
and to establish mechanisms for their improvement.
