Conciencia emocional en la formación del profesorado a través de elementos musicales y visuales: uso de la lengua como medio de expresión de las emociones

Abstract

The objective of this study is to enhance the development of emotional awareness within the classroom through musical and visual elements as a means of emotional expression. This is with the intention of integrating emotional competence as a transversal element within the teaching-learning process. An activity of identification and emotional management is performed through the linguistic expression of emotions caused during the listening of a melody and the observation of an image. Data analyses show difficulties for future teachers in identifying their emotions. The results also show the high level of interest on the integration of this content in the educational process. In conclusion, it is necessary to expand previous training of teachers on emotional competence to achieve complete and comprehensive student training and to improve educational quality.
