Teacher Training within the Context of Emotional Education:
Does it reveal a necessary action?
Keywords:
Continuing Education, Emotional Education, Digital Screens.Abstract
The contemporary challenges faced by teachers daily reinforce the need for constant updating of knowledge in areas increasingly distinct from their initial training. Emotional Education is legitimized in this context as fundamentally important in educational, psychological, and social processes that influence learning and intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. This study aims to identify the need for complementary teacher training focusing on Emotional Education. To this end, the study was developed through voluntary participation with Portuguese and Brazilian teachers who answered an online questionnaire, developed in Google Forms, about their competencies and knowledge needs in this area. The methodology adopted is a quantitative-qualitative research approach; the proposed research question focused on understanding how inclined these teachers are to develop knowledge in this area. Preliminary results indicate a pressing need for this training.
