Abstract
The purpose of this study was to design, implement and evaluate the effect of an intervention program in executive functions to promote the citizenship skills of elementary school students. The research was quasi-experimental with pre and post measurement of "k" intact groups and double randomly assigned. The sample consisted of 392 students from two public schools in the cities of Barranquilla and Bogotá from first to fifth grade randomly distributed into two groups: Experimental (n = 197) and Control (n = 195). For the evaluation of citizenship competencies, Moral Dilemmas Instrument was used, and for the intervention, the FeJINCOC program, was used, validated by expert judges with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.98. The results obtained from the students show significant changes (McNemar <.000) toward the development of their citizenship skills in a cognitive manner in order to recognize the effect of one's behavior on others compared to the control group.
