CARMO, Gerson Tavares do  and  SOUZA, Rozana Quintanilha Gomes. Empathy in the educational context: reports from young adult and adult students. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2022, vol.29, e039.  Epub June 08, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v29a2022-39.

This article discusses the importance of valuing empathy in the educational context, particularly in Youth and Adult Education. It seeks to investigate how empathy, or the lack of it in the teacher-student relationship, can interfere in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, a questionnaire was applied to a class of young and adult students at the Federal Fluminense Institute. The questionnaire was created based on Carl Rogers' theory of the multidimensional construct of empathy, which includes three components: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. The data obtained reveal that in an environment that is not conducive to empathy, students seek, through their own initiatives, strategies to create empathic relationships with teachers in order to remain in the school.

Keywords : Empathy; Youth and Adult Education; Teacher-student relationship; Teaching and learning process.
