Emotional Intelligence for Teachers of the Third Millennium in Ibero-America

Abstract

Theoretical trends of teacher's emotional intelligence were analyzed using content analysis. Based on the search in databases, categories such as teacher, intelligence, and emotional education were related. It is identified that, in recent years, and after the pandemic, there has been a growing interest in the role of teachers' emotional intelligence in education. There is a need to establish a teaching role that includes emotional intelligence. Recognition of emotions improves job performance and contributes to well-being. Emotional regulation has an impact on academic performance and especially on student-teacher interaction. Finally, it is a priority to include the emotional dimension in teacher training curricula.
