Description
Summary:In this article, we describe the importance of complementing teachers' training with the learning and development of social and emotional aspects. It is in this way that Emotional Intelligence (EI) -understood as a complement of the cognitive development of teachers and students- is to play a role in the educational context. We review Mayer & Salovey's ability model (1997), some of the programmes of socio-emotional improvement that are also designed for teachers and several activities for the development of teachers' EI. In addition, we examine the implications for teachers derived from the development of their EI to enhance their capacity to appropriately perceive, understand and manage one's own emotions and those of others.
