Description
Summary:The main objective of this work is to analyze the presence of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Empathy in teachers related to the perception of the classroom teacher-student interaction processes. Participants were 77 Mexican teachers of different educational levels who answered three instruments: TMMS-24, TECA, and STRS. Results show that just over half of teachers perceive an adequate level of EI. Only a third have medium/high levels of cognitive empathy, linked to the ability to put themselves in the other's place and flexible thinking in different situations. In addition, 40% of them understand others' emotional states adequately, and almost three-quarters perceive little teacher-student interaction approaching. Findings and their implications for ongoing teacher training are discussed.
