GRATITUD: ACOMPAÑANDO LA ENSEÑANZA DE UNA SEGUNDA LENGUA

Durante y después de la pandemia, muchos paradigmas educativos se han puesto a prueba, otros se han modificado y durante esta nueva etapa del conocimiento, la formación de los estudiantes universitarios ha requerido nuevas estrategias. Las necesidades emocionales de pronto surgen para limitar y/o entorpecer las dinámicas de aprendizaje, el comportamiento durante las clases, podría en ocasiones indicar incluso una simulación del aprendizaje. Por diferentes circunstancias, los profesores han de recurrir a diferentes áreas del conocimiento para integrarlas a las actividades cotidianas de modo que el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua tendrá que dejar de ser un reto, y transformar ese reto en actividades breves, sencillas, cotidianas y desde luego posibles.

Para Martin Seligman: “la psicología no es sólo el estudio de la debilidad y el daño, es también el estudio de la fortaleza y la virtud. El tratamiento no es sólo arreglar lo que está roto, es también alimentar lo mejor de nosotros” (2003). La Psicología Positiva tiene como objetivo principal es conocer los recursos y fortalezas de las personas a través de la investigación científica, para poder, incrementar y/o potenciar, e incluso descubrir esas fortalezas y talentos humanos.

En la antigüedad, Platón y Sócrates mostraron su interés por lograr la felicidad es sus escritos, y algunos autores tales como Carl Rogers (1961), con su concepto de funcionamiento óptimo de la personalidad; Abraham Maslow (1954), con el término de autoactualización, o Erik Erikson (1987), conocido por su trabajo sobre la identidad y la juventud, entre los más destacados.

Actualmente, el bienestar psicológico ha sido reconocido a nivel mundial como un asunto importante en el área de la salud. En la asamblea general de las Naciones Unidas, (United Nations General Assembly), (2015 se ha indicado el objetivo de asegurar una vida saludable, promover el bienestar en la población en todas las edades y se propone promover la salud mental y el bienestar. También la OMS (World Health Organization, 2015); ha establecido como propósito instar a los gobiernos de todo el mundo implementar acciones para proteger y promover la salud mental en todas las etapas de la vida.

LA GRATITUD COMO CIENCIA

Después de muchos estudios y tomando en cuenta varios factores es posible reconocer a la gratitud como objeto de estudio. Al tomar en cuenta que la Gratitud ha sido un área de interés tanto para filósofos, y educadores. Hoy en día los sociólogos, psicólogos e investigadores han denominado dentro de sus investigaciones a la gratitud como un fenómeno el cual debe ser definido, investigado y estudiado. (Simmel, 1950) [5608], (Schwartz, 1967) [590], (Gouldner, 1960) [11509], (Heider, 1958) [23233], (Weiner & Graham, 1989) [135], (Lazarus & Lazarus, 1994) [829], (Ortony, Clore, & Collins, 1988) [7556].

No obstante, investigaciones sobre la importancia de la gratitud y sus beneficios no fueron populares hasta las participaciones de Robert Emmons, Michael McCullough, entre los más destacados.

A inicios del año 2000, y gracias a la Fundación John Templeton Foundation, (JTF), se inició un Proyecto: Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude Project (ESPG), y es allí en donde las investigaciones sobre la gratitud empezaron a surgir. Desde entonces hasta el día de hoy han existido una seria de documentos e investigaciones serias en torno a la gratitud.

En estas investigaciones se mencionan ya, diferentes Escalas de gratitud en donde podemos ver las formas, cuestionarios, métodos de medición de la gratitud, divisiones y/o tipos de gratitud las cuales nos gustaria mencionar aun cuando no es el propósito del presente trabajo. Una de las escalas que se han de mencionar es The Transpersonal Gratitude Scale (TGS) misma que fue diseñada con el propósito de incluir los aspectos trascendentales que pueden acompañar a los sentimientos de gratitud. Hlava, Elfers, & Offringa, (2014). Es allí donde se han mencionado cuatro sud-divisiones: a) expresión de gratitud: “muestro aprecio por quienes tiene una influencia positive en mi vida”, b) el valor de la gratitud: “La gratitud me ayuda a sentirme más feliz”, c) gratitud trascendente: “Me siento agradecido por estar vivo” y d) gratitud con conexión espiritual “Agradezco a Dios por estar en mi vida”. Existen otras escalas desafortunadamente por ahora sólo nos enfocaremos en señalar las participaciones, los errores y los aciertos además de la producción lingüística de los estudiantes que participaron en “el diario de gratitud”.

Se ha seleccionado la Gratitud para acompañar el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua. La Gratitud del latín: gratia que significa agradecimiento. Emmons y McCullough (2001) lo definen como “un estado afectivo cognitivo resultante de la percepción de haber sido beneficiado por un agente externo, de manera solidaria, desinteresada y gratuita”.

La gratitud según Watson y Naragon-Gainey (2010), tiene un efecto de protección para trastornos mentales como la depresión o la ansiedad. Además, reduce las emociones negativas que resultan de la comparación y la autocomparación social, se antepone así con la envidia y el resentimiento (Emmons y Mishra, 2011, como se citó en Bernabé 2014) y como fortaleza que es, se correlaciona de forma positiva con la autoestima y la satisfacción con la vida.

La gratitud junto con las cualidades de poder apreciar, percibir y saborear las experiencias de la vida se consideran factores determinantes para el bienestar de las personas (Martínez, 2006).

Para McCullough et al. (2002) la gratitud tiene tres cometidos:

Es un barómetro social, cuando las personas se dan cuenta de que existen quienes están dispuestas a ayudarlas de forma desinteresada.
Motivador, al ver que otras personas realizan actos que nos favorecen, y estas acciones produzcan actos en cadena y sentimientos de agradecimiento. Y
Reforzador, cuando agradecemos a una persona algo se desarrolla una emoción positiva para beneficiar a otros.

La fortaleza de gratitud y práctica constante, generan beneficios en la salud al aportar experiencias positivas como son el bienestar, la felicidad, el afecto positivo y entre otras fortalezas, y actúan como una barrera de protección ante las emociones negativas (Emmons y Stern, 2013), la gratitud también alivia de la depresión (Seligman et al., 2005) y se relaciona de forma positiva con el optimismo, la alegría, y el entusiasmo (Watkins, Cruz, Holben y Kolts, 2003). De esta manera se puede relacionar a la gratitud con la satisfacción personal de vida.

Un estudio sobre la relación de las diferentes fortalezas y la satisfacción con la vida realizado por Park et al. (2004) se ha descubrimiento que existe una relación consistente entre la gratitud, el entusiasmo, la esperanza, el amor y la curiosidad. Y por el contrario, una menor relación entre la creatividad, el juicio y el amor por el aprendizaje.

Durante esta investigación participaron 26 estudiantes, la realización de un diario de gratitud no tendría puntaje de evaluación y no sería evaluado sino corregido de modo que ellos enviaban sus aportaciones mismas que han sido corregidas por WhatsApp. De los 26 estudiantes que participaron en el proyecto 26 acreditaron el curso. Generalmente existe un margen de reprobación 1 ó 2 estudiantes y alrededor de 10 estudiantes dejan el curso. En este periodo 2 estudiantes abandonaron el curso y no hubo estudiantes reprobados. Además de algunas observaciones que serán presentadas más adelante.

A ellos se les han dado las siguientes instrucciones:

Escribir un enunciado en inglés agradeciendo por algo.
Realizar un diario de gratitud de lunes – jueves (días de clase)
Enviar un mensajito vía WhatsApp si tuviesen dudas.
Revisar las correcciones,
Registrar sus agradecimientos de manera digital,
Organizarlos para presentar el diario de gratitud al final del curso.

AGRADECER

Se ha demostrado que la gratitud trae beneficios en diferentes áreas, ya que no sólo genera una sensación de tranquilidad en el momento, sino que, al transformarla en un hábito, las personas se enfocan en el bienestar presente y adquieren mayor esperanza del futuro. Al agradecer se requiere que los estudiantes reconozcan un hecho como positivo y lo expongan o manifiesten sobre las probables circunstancias o momentos difíciles a los que ellos se enfrentan; sobre todo durante el año 2021.

EL DIARIO

El diario de gratitud permite que los estudiantes se centren en los aspectos positivos, dejando por un momento los problemas. Aun cuando existen hoy en día diarios de agradecimiento comerciales, no se ha solicitado a los jóvenes comprar algo más, ya que se ha solicitado la participación de los estudiantes utilizando WhatsApp, y el diario de gratitud será enviado de manera electrónica, así que no es necesario comprar ningún cuadernillo.

El trabajar con un diario de gratitud requiere de 5 minutos diarios de atención del estudiante, o sólo un instante; sin embargo, al realizar este diario de gratitud en otro idioma requerirá de más tiempo ya que implica pensarlo, escribirlo, buscar alguna palabra en el diccionario si se requiere, escribir sus agradecimientos en inglés y revisar, además de corregir en caso necesario.

Existen algunos autores que aseguran que el practicar la gratitud de manera habitual conlleva beneficios en el área de la salud física y mental. Ya que al notar aquellos elementos positivos en nuestra vida se:

Disminuyen los sentimientos negativos que generan depresión,
Se adquiere confianza en uno mismo,
Mejoran la salud,
Se adquiere mayor conocimiento de uno mismo,
Eliminar la autocompasión,
Disminuye el estrés y la ansiedad ante la incertidumbre,
Genera en la demás empatía al percibirnos como personas amables y gratas, y
Se descansa mejor.

La gratitud influye en el rendimiento académico, García (2015) realizó un estudio con 145 estudiantes con el objeto de comprobar, si experimentar gratitud influye en el rendimiento de estudiantes de una segunda lengua. Los resultados demostraron la importancia de la gratitud en el tema educativo para potenciar las relaciones interpersonales e intrapersonales claves para el éxito del aprendizaje de una segunda lengua. Con estos resultados se puede afirmar que las personas agradecidas mejoran el rendimiento a la hora de aprender una segunda lengua.

EL HABITO

Como todo habito, el iniciar a trabajar con el diario de gratitud resulta difícil pero los estudiantes se animan al ver los mensajes de sus compañeros al ser enviados al grupo, ellos desean entonces participar, compartir sus experiencias positivas y/o finalmente, no quedarse atrás. Este hábito de compartir experiencias positivas, se va extendiendo poco a poco a todo el grupo, y termina motivando a todos, incluyendo al profesor.

Es cierto que el notar las cosas positivas a nuestro alrededor en un hábito difícil de obtener, ya que las personas están más acostumbradas a quejarse, a notar lo malo, a escuchar quejas y criticas o comentarios negativos todo el tiempo. Las personas agradecidas tienden a ser más felices, más sanas, más completas. Generalmente superan el estrés y mejoran situaciones cardiacas. Para el Dr. Martin Seligman en algunos exámenes realizados, una semana de gratitud equivale a un mes, tres y hasta seis meses de felicidad después.

I always did the exercises and paid attention, because I want to learn English; I know how necessary it is, how important it is and how beautiful it is to learn a language. So I thank you for your dedication to teach me English 2 Teacher, although I knew a little, I could never understand it 100%, mainly because I was reluctant to learn a new language.
