Abstract (English): This study analyzes the impact of affective communication in Ecuadorian Sign Language (LSEC) on the quality of interpersonal relationships within a specialized education context. A mixed-method approach was used, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design applied to a sample of 18 participants. Data were collected through Likert-scale surveys, interviews, and document analysis. The results show that 100% of participants recognize affective communication as a key factor in the development of empathy, while 96% highlight its influence on classroom climate. Additionally, limited proficiency in LSEC was identified as a significant barrier to social interaction and socioemotional development. In response to this issue, a methodological guide for affective communication in LSEC was designed, aimed at strengthening emotional expression, conflict mediation, and school coexistence through inclusive pedagogical strategies. This proposal was validated by experts, demonstrating high relevance, methodological coherence, and applicability in specialized educational contexts. It is concluded that affective communication in LSEC is a structural component of inclusive education and socio-emotional well-being, and that its strengthening through structured pedagogical proposals significantly improves interaction quality and learning outcomes.

Abstract (Spanish): El presente estudio analiza la incidencia de la comunicación afectiva en Lengua de Señas Ecuatoriana (LSEC) en la calidad de las relaciones interpersonales dentro de un contexto de educación especializada. Se empleó un enfoque mixto, con diseño no experimental y corte transversal, en una muestra de 18 participantes. Se aplicaron encuestas tipo Likert, entrevistas y análisis documental. Los resultados evidencian que el 100 % de los participantes reconoce la comunicación afectiva como factor clave para el desarrollo de la empatía, mientras que el 96 % destaca su impacto en el clima escolar. Asimismo, se identificó que la limitada competencia en LSEC constituye una barrera significativa para la interacción social y el desarrollo socioemocional. En respuesta a esta problemática, se diseñó una guía metodológica de comunicación afectiva en LSEC, orientada a fortalecer la expresión emocional, la mediación de conflictos y la convivencia escolar mediante estrategias pedagógicas inclusivas. Dicha propuesta fue validada por expertos, evidenciando alta pertinencia, coherencia metodológica y aplicabilidad en contextos educativos especializados. Se concluye que la comunicación afectiva en LSEC constituye un eje estructural para la inclusión educativa y el bienestar socioemocional, y que su fortalecimiento mediante propuestas pedagógicas sistematizadas mejora significativamente la calidad de la interacción y el aprendizaje.

Abstract (Portuguese): Este estudo analisa o impacto da comunicação afetiva em Língua de Sinais Equatoriana (LSEC) na qualidade das relações interpessoais em um contexto de educação especializada. Foi utilizada uma abordagem mista, com um delineamento transversal não experimental aplicado a uma amostra de 18 participantes. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários com escala Likert, entrevistas e análise documental. Os resultados mostram que 100% dos participantes reconhecem a comunicação afetiva como um fator-chave no desenvolvimento da empatia, enquanto 96% destacam sua influência no clima da sala de aula. Além disso, a proficiência limitada em LSEC foi identificada como uma barreira significativa para a interação social e o desenvolvimento socioemocional. Em resposta a essa questão, foi elaborado um guia metodológico para a comunicação afetiva em LSEC, visando fortalecer a expressão emocional, a mediação de conflitos e a convivência escolar por meio de estratégias pedagógicas inclusivas. Essa proposta foi validada por especialistas, demonstrando alta relevância, coerência metodológica e aplicabilidade em contextos de educação especializada. Conclui-se que a comunicação afetiva na Educação Especial é um componente estrutural da educação inclusiva e do bem-estar socioemocional, e que o seu fortalecimento através de propostas pedagógicas estruturadas melhora significativamente a qualidade da interação e os resultados da aprendizagem.
