JUSTO, Alice Reuwsaat e ANDRETTA, Ilana. Teachers' social and emotional competences: educative social skills and emotional regulation evaluation. Psic. da Ed. [online]. 2020, n.50, pp.104-113. Epub 09-Out-2020. ISSN 2175-3520. https://doi.org/10.5935/2175-3520.20200011.
One of the factors that contributes to the improvement in students' academic performance and socioemotional skills, as well as to the improvement in the classroom climate and quality of the teacher-student relationship has been the teachers' socioemotional skills. In this study, the socio-emotional skills of teachers were evaluated, by investigating the associations between educational social skills and emotional regulation. This research has the participation of 69 primary school teachers, from the 1st to the 6th year of the public school system in a county in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. The instruments used were a questionnaire of socio-demographic data, the Scale of Difficulties of Emotional Regulation (DERS) and the Inventory of Social Educational Skills (IHSE-Prof). As for the difficulties in emotional regulation, teachers presented scores similar to other studies with non-clinical populations. In the scores of educational social skills, this sample showed a higher frequency of skilled behaviors in approving and valuing behaviors, giving instructions for activities and disapproving, restricting and correcting behaviors. The associations between emotional regulation and educational social skills points to the importance of clarity and emotional awareness for the skills of giving instructions, approving and disapproving behaviors. Understanding that these three skills require the teacher to be clear and aware of his /her emotions in order to be able to express what he/she wants with clarity through instructions, approvals and disapprovals of his/hers students' behaviors. Which points to the importance of addressing content that promotes awareness and emotional clarity and educational social skills in teacher education.
