Abstract

This production aims to generate a reflection on emotional intelligence in the training of a multidimensional teacher in the educational context. It is based on Goleman's (1995) Theory of Emotional Intelligence and Basarab Nicolescu's (2009) Theory of Transdisciplinarity, relying on the interpretive paradigm, which seeks to understand social phenomena from the perspectives of the participants, as well as on a qualitative approach, which, from the Qadamerian postulates, has allowed the researcher to explore the topic related to the training of a multidimensional teacher from the principles of emotional intelligence in the educational context. Among the relevant findings, it is highlighted that it can profoundly transform teaching practice and student learning by promoting a comprehensive approach that prioritizes emotional and social development, where healthier relationships can be established and better preparation for future success in an increasingly complex and diverse society, in order to promote a more positive classroom environment, healthier relationships, a greater focus on social and emotional development, a reduction in stress and anxiety, more effective teaching, and better preparation for future success.
