Abstract

The lack of training in socio-emotional competences for teachers contributes to work-related stress and hinders the creation of an emotionally safe and resilient learning environment. The objective of this article was to analyze the barriers and opportunities for the development of socio-emotional competence in teachers and to design pedagogical strategies that strengthen resilience in the classroom. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted with semi-structured interviews of 14 teachers, exploring their perceptions of socio-emotional competences. The instrument was validated by a panel of experts in psychopedagogy. The results revealed barriers such as the lack of training programs and institutional support, and opportunities such as teachers' willingness to improve their socio-emotional competences through specific training. The conclusion highlights the need to implement continuous training programs and create socio-emotional well-being committees in schools to enhance teacher resilience and the overall educational environment.
