The purpose of this study is to explore the assessment of emotions and social skills of
sixth-year primary education students in a physical education (PE) teaching unit. Two instruments
of analysis are used: the GES (Games and Emotion Scale) to evaluate emotions, and an ad-hoc
questionnaire to measure the social skills of 21 students in their sixth year of primary education.
The data analysis was carried out using a generalised estimating equation model (GEE), taking into
account the correlation between the different scores of the same subject and the asymmetry of the
data. The results show that positive emotions (happiness and joy) are significantly more highly
evaluated than negative (fear, anger, and sadness) and ambiguous (surprise) emotions throughout all
of the PE sessions
