Description
Summary:<span>Given the challenges of teaching today-an activity marked by information overload, technological changes and heterogeneity in the classroom-we find teachers who experience day by day, in the management of their classes, a number of critical incidents (<span><span>CI</span></span>) which cause them uncertainty and emotional destabilization. In the present study we have attempted to make a deep and careful study of the types of <span><span>CI</span> </span>and the impact they have, as well as the strategies used by teachers to address them. At first the information was obtained through a <em>focus group</em>; the data obtained were compared with the results of the questionnaire administered to a sample. The study notes that the reported <span><span>CI</span> </span>are primarily related to class management and students' attitude toward learning. Also highlighted is the teachers' lack of psychopedagogical and emotional resources for dealing with the <span><span>CI</span></span>.</span>
