Abstract

This study examines the role of emotions in the educational context, focusing on teachers’ integration of emotional intelligence in Early Childhood and Primary Education. Through a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to teachers, perceptions of their training, emotional regulation, and institutional support are analyzed. Results reveal a clear need for ongoing training and organizational support to strengthen teachers’ socio-emotional competencies.
